  8.0

  It contains 3 additional DLCs to sink your teeth into, along with a New Game+ mode if you’ve exhausted everything else from the experience (you can effectively keep playing indefinitely, if you wish). It’s best played with friends if you’re able, but however you choose to engage with Heroes of Hammerwatch, it proves to be a fine addition to the rogue-lite catalogue on Switch.

  8.0

  One of the most addictive rogue-lites on the Nintendo Switch, Heroes of Hammerwatch blends classic action RPG progression with a hostile world design that'll have heroes second guessing every turn they make, and whether or not their next foe will be their last

  Heroes of Hammerwatch is the definitive edition of an already fantastic game. It’s a killer rogue-lite, a great twin-stick shooter, and it comes packed with additional content for a very modest price point. There’s just no reason not to own this.

  I've sunk dozens of hours into Heroes of Hammerwatch and eagerly await the chance to spend dozens more. With numerous layers of progression systems, multiple distinct classes and more content than seems reasonable for its low price tag, Heroes of Hammerwatch is a must-play for roguelike fanatics or people after their dungeon-crawling fix.

  8.5

  An enjoyable little rogue-lite with a mountain’s worth of replayability, several huge areas to explore and a line-up of diverse classes to choose from, Heroes of Hammerwatch is the perfect game for killing half an hour alone or several hours with friends or randoms. It’s a bit stingy with guidance for newcomers, and you’ll likely need to mess with your screen settings to get comfortable, but it’s definitely worth checking out if you need another rogue-lite fix.

  9.0

  In my time with Heroes of Hammerwatch – Ultimate Edition on Xbox One, it has managed to separate itself from other roguelites and has solidified its role in my games library. It has a ton of content available at launch and offers something a little different to what I’ve played before it. Whilst there are multiplayer issues, it helps that it’s an all-round solid single player title.
