  • Heldric - The Ultimate Winter Holiday Update 1.4 - 17 December 2014

    As a thank you to all my fans I present you the forth major update to Heldric as my gift to you. Inside the nicely wrapped patch you will find many new toys and treasures. Let it snow, let it snow… What is a winter holiday update without snow? And lots of it. Including all the festive decorations that come with the season. Decorated trees, gift wrapped pick-ups, Santa costume and even a candy-cane sword for Heldric. All existing maps can also be played in normal or Santa mode. The children were nestled all snug in their beds… Well, maybe not so much in their beds any more. This update brings more depth to the game by having a chance of spawning a child instead of adult. Children cannot fight, but can run fast and will grow into an adult in 60 seconds. The harder the skill mode the greater the chance of a child to spawn instead of an adult. Keep this in mind as losing villagers can hurt…

  • Heldric 1.3 free content update! - 3 October 2014

    Hell is empty and all the devils are here. Do you enjoy a vicious orc cutting down villagers where they stand? You now have a chance to see what it's like to be the nefarious creatures playing a new bonus map. The orc camp will have you defending yourself against increasing waves of villagers. Don't under estimate villager's power, as each wave they increase in numbers and become better equipped with deadly weapons. Monks with their area of effect lightning spell can take out groups of your fellow denizens. Upgrade your beast portal to summon reinforcements such as goblins, spiders, trolls and even the dreaded orc boss. Cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of war! Even the toughest orcs will take pause when they face an angry wolf in their path. A new tower, the war wolf cage, will release a trained wolf that will hunt down any foes in range. These white wolves will also gain experience and…

  • Heldric 1.1 Update – Arachnophobics beware - 26 April 2014

    You asked for more So you asked for it, more monsters and variety. The latest update to Heldric 1.1 has a new terror that crawled out of the ground, spiders! Spiders! http://media.indiedb.com/cache/images/games/1/27/26479/thumb_620x2000/spider-web.jpg These eight legged, icky crawlers are out to ruin your day with a few special tricks. First, are the slower big tank-like spiders with high hit points and damage. But don’t think you’ll have an easy escape as they shoot out spider webs to trap their next meal. Next are the more toxic brethren that spit poison from long distance. And then there are the skinny and fast ones. These foes will leap across the map pouncing on any prey in range. All the while bypassing any strategic traps you might have placed in it’s way. Heldric also got rid of the cat holding his tong by adding additional voices such as taking damage, death screams and several…
