After their job, of keeping the dungeons in balance, was done, our heroes needed a new job. Roaming the lands they found a call for heroes, a castle in need, possible even a damsel in distress?
Pick two heroes to take into the adventure, controlling both heroes and using their special skills to navigate the dangerous castle hallways, rooms and floors. Switching between the two characters to solve quests, puzzles, and of course clear the dungeons of all evil.
Quests – The dungeon is full of problems, let's call them quests. These problems range from simple "find a key" to "use magic powers to light all magic candles and open the magical gate". Different types of quests require different solutions. Use the skills of the characters in your party to complete these quests.
Weapons – Your characters are your main weapons. The Elf shoots his arrows through multiple monsters, the Wizard has unlimited magic, the Warrior has a powerful melee attack with his hammer, and the Valkyrie besides having a quick spinning-melee attack can also detect secrets and important loot. The characters can level up to increase their firepower, or find rare loot which enhances your character for short periods of time. This includes magic spells!
Secrets – Find secret rooms, level-skipping teleports, secret items, and more!
Perma-items – You will be able to unlock magic spells by collecting 4 shards of various magic books. Once all shards are collected the magic is unlocked. It's also possible to increase the strength of this magic by collecting the magic shards multiple times. All unlocked spells will stay unlocked even after you die, making you more powerful on your future attempts to reach the final boss.

Community Insight:
We are slightly confused because on Android the developer is listed as Orange Pixel. Otherwise this game is perfect.
It's fun kinda addicting amazing gameplay and of course good job :) :) :).
The game is outstanding. It would be one of the best dual sticks on ios if it was not for the controls. We play with a mfi controller and the only time if we have died was because the controls are jittery. Our character will shake to the left or right which makes the game impossible in the later levels when there are many traps and you need precision. So we tried to play without our controller and for us it's unplayable, it becomes an entirely different game where you can only fire in 4 directions which makes it no longer a dual stick shooter. So if we can get the controls fixed this is 5 star game for sure. We want to die because we make a mistake, not because of the controls.
Bought this for iphone7. Game is zoomed so far out that it makes it nearly impossible to distinguish your characters from your enemies from room clutter. We tried to zoom in, but haven't found a way to do so. We're actually a little ticked off to lose $4 because though the app store says it "runs" on an iphone7, it's not "playable". Update:. Unplayable on iPad 2017. We can see everything at a decent size now. But walking around and interacting with enemies etc is in slow motion. We've heard the expression "dungeon crawl" and now understand what it means. Update:. A soft reset of our iPad and now the speed is quick and slick! Muuuuch better. Update:. Reset our iPhone to. And speed is much better. Still to small to be enjoyable.
Love to see this come to the Apple TV. Large screen and MFI support would be killer.
It good we just feel like it hard to move the characters.
This has become the best game to click and play, easy to learn controls and challenging gameplay make this an excellent game.
Would be a good game if the controls weren't so frustrating. Moving around is just glitchy and unnatural.
It does have its share of issues and problems. The TouchArcade review does a great job of covering the problems.
Playing on iPad Mini 4. Previously this got 1 star for difficult controls, but within a few days the dev has included a sensitivity option which greatly improved the playability of the game. The directional sensitivity is very high, still, but this should be manageable with practice. The game itself is turning out to be a fun dungeon romp, albeit very unforgiving of mistakes. If you like a challenge, this might be right up your alley. There are some minor annoyances, such as object throwing being unintuitive, enemy drops disappearing very quickly and meta progression seeming very slow. But, overall, a good game.
Great game except the controls. We die because of the controls or should we say lack of controls, add MFI support and ALOT of us will be happier hence you make more money win/win. (Updated to 5 stars thanks for adding sensitivity to the controls!) 10 STARS for adding MFI support.
So, now with Version 1.0.4 on the books, all initial issues have been addressed. The game works great on iOS 7 – the controls have a sensativity option and the stick was made smaller, speeding up your characters quicker – the bombs or keys not spawning – everything seems to have been taken care of, and everyone can see how much this game shines. If you loved the first one you'll, more likely than not, enjoy the stuffing outta this game. There's now permanent collectable spells, runes to give you another life, and characters who each do different damage to different enemies, adding a bit of strategy to the gameplay because you're able to take TWO characters with you into the dungeon. Every single thing this game does hits all the right spots. We really can not praise it enough. Definitely a 2016 GOTY contender. update HOLY WOWZERS!!! MFI CONTROLLER SUPPORT!!!! Also, 4 new heroes!!! We can't believe how much this game has improved in the WEEK since it's release!!! THANK YOU ORANGE PIXEL.
Too dark too slow. Going back to the first one for now. This one is not as much an arcade shooter like the last one. EDIT: To clarify, this does have lots of arcade-like shooting. We think it fairer to say the controls are sluggish, there is no longer a twin-stick setup, so aiming is annoyingly auto-aim. Also if you turn in-game brightness up, you can see fine. One more star. We would think the control problems could be addressed, if so, this will be a 5-star review. EDIT-5 stars! Controls now great!! Orangepixel has bent over backwards to take criticisms and quickly! What more can you ask for?! Not much. Great game now out of this world terrific. FIVE STARS.
Do not listen to bad reviews. This game is first rate, tons of fun, and tons of content. The dev has been making updates non-stop with more on the way. Really at a loss in regards to some of these other reviews. Not sure if they are trolling or what.
We are a long fan of Orange Pixel's games and this new release delivers. This takes the original concept of Heroes Of Loot and expands it in so many ways we don't know where to begin. The biggest change would be that you have 2 characters you move around simultaneously and can switch between them quickly with the tap of a button. The combat is great! The puzzle aspect is great but it's not so hard that you want to throw your device. We love the progression system as well as the permanent spell parts you can find. The art work is awesome! The controls work just great! We use the fixed stick and it's just fine. Again there's so much to do and see it's hard to talk about all of it in a review. The game is absolutely worth it's price. Thank you dev for the release price sale.
Don't listen to the other reviews! We have no problems with the controls like some of the other reviewers. The game is really fun and more people should get it! It's good for travelling because it requires no connection.
This is a really fun game, like a blend of dual stick shooter and roguelike. We dont understand the bad reviews about the controls. They work just fine for us (iPad air2).
This game is fun. It has good stick control an none of that tap go to crap.we love it. But maybe ad more classes and ad a story mode. Something like legend of Zelda were u explore an over wold then find dungeons and complete puzzles and fight bosses. But give it your own twist. And plz keep the long range people with infinite amo.
We're so surprised how bad this game is! We canmt even pass 1st stage. First one was really fun. We want a refund.
Just clicking the start button is a challenge. The hit box for it is on the top left of the screen, and others are in other random places. Not only that, but the buttons in game are broken. Their hit boxes are all off and the joystick is completely jacked up. Left = down, right = up, up = right, down = left. The game is completely unplayable because of that. Save your money! To the devs, please fix this.
Not sure what is happening here. How this came can have worst controls than the previous game released 3y ago? Just stop playing it as it's too frustrating to be blocked by decor element for no reason, not being able to reliably throw the bomb we are carrying and dying for no reason outside the poor controls.
This game is fantastic very well done very creative awesome progression system we are really really enjoying it do yourself a favor and grab it while it's on sale.
Definitely worth the money for the fun you'll get from it. Not sure if there are more than 4 chars but would love to see more characters to play. Thx.
We really really like love this game it is very fun to play. We play it always.
For an arcade game to play on the fly, it works perfectly well. The gameplay is simplistic, rouge like, shooting hell, task oriented fun with a twist of leaderboard and competitive edge. Pros – pixel art, sleek shading, easy to grasp gameplay, decent enough soundtrack, leaderboards, stat book Cons – limited character availability, controls are sluggish and slow, flow of the game doesn't "pick up" til later levels.
There are a few minor gripesa little more explanation here and there, but this developer is awesome about taking care of things. Definitely worth every penny and then some.
We haven't played much, but this sequel has started off with better graphics (ESPECIALLY the lighting) and excellent particle effects! Also, we're really diggin' the new 'on the fly' character switch mechanic.
We gotta say the first game was kinda iffy to us, a little to plain, this game fixed everything we didn't care for in the first one and added a lot more. You also get tons of replay ability with it. Grab it now ! =].
Awesome game that really satisfies that dungeon crawler itch for us. The game looks and plays amazing. We can't put it down! Definitely a must have for anybody who loves dungeon crawlers.
This game would be much better with a controller! Please add support for this.
Game is not ready for prime time.. Needs a few updates before its playable.
WOW! DOWNLOADED THIS GAME ANTICIPATING SOME GOOD GAMING ACTION FROM PASCAL BESTEBROER, BUT INSTEAD we GOT A PIECE OF JUNK GAME THAT WON'T EVEN GET PAST THE CHARACTER SELECT SCREEN! We PAID $1.99 FOR A GAME THAT WON'T EVEN PLAY! We DELETED THE GAME THREE TIMES AND REDOWNLOADED THREE TIMES! BOOOOO! YOUR LAST GAME WAS AWESOME! THIS ONE IS GARBAGE! FIX IT.
