8.0
As a bit of sorbet between bigger games, Slashy Hero hits the spot nicely. The basic mechanics reward mastery without being overly complicated, and it just feels good to zip around dungeons like a little whirling dervish of destruction.

Critic reviews
- 7.0Slashy Hero is fun – it’s just also a little irritating at times. But it does make for a good dungeon-crawling (ish) romp and makes good use of the kind of swiping mechanics you don’t see often outside of games involving air traffic control or harbor management.
- 8.8The overall design and the character graphics are simply amazing, one of the best we've recently seen. Gameplay is engaging as it can be and the game will be equally fun for adults and kids: and perfect for Halloween. Only 48 dungeons, we definitely want more.
- 8.0Slashy Hero is a cute and accessible roguelike with an incredibly satisfying and well-executed swipe-based combat system.
