Latest Steam announcements

  • Become a Hero on XBox One and PS4 - 31 July 2017

    Dear fellow HEROES, Today we have heroic news for you. We recently slowed down on regular updates. This is because we’ve been working full-time on bringing HERO DEFENSE to Xbox One and Playstation 4. We are getting closer to the console release, and can honestly say that the experience playing on a big screen with controller is quite outstanding. We’re delighted to announce that we’ve reached an agreement with our friends at Headup Games to move the development of HERO DEFENSE to this new direction. Most importantly, Headup Games strongly believe in our HERO DEFENSE vision in our conversations since our first Greenlight announcement. Their support and experience has helped to realize HERO DEFENSE’s console development. Due to our new partnership and the console release plans, we are temporarily disabling new Steam purchases during the transition period. What does this mean for HERO DEFE…

  • Multiplayer Achievements - 13 June 2017

    http://happy-tuesday.com/HauntedIsland/img/Release.png Happy Tuesday! After some deliberation and gaining input from the community, we've decided to turn off most multiplayer achievements. Currently, there are not too many active players in PvP, making it very hard to gather all the achievements. The only PvP achievement that is going to stay active is "First Blood - Win 1 PvP match" - we believe that should be obtainable by finding some friends to play with :) Happy Hunting!
