Has Been Heroes

Frozenbyte has prepared a major expansion for Has-Been Heroes. It’s out now as a free update on Switch.

New to Has-Been Heroes are Amadeus the Wizard, Pontius the Knight, and Zoya the Thief from Trine as playable characters. They can be accessed after unlocking the Epic Quest mode. Sky Temple has also been added as a new region, along with “Challenge Mode” and “Seed More”.

We have the full rundown about the expansion and a trailer below.

On the latest episode of Fragments of Silicon, Kai Tuovinen from Frozenbyte was interviewed. Tuovinen was asked about the already-released Has-Been Heroes as well as Nine Parchments.

To begin, Tuovinen indicated that Has-Been Heroes has been selling the best on Switch. Tuovinen didn’t share any specific numbers, though that was in part due to since he didn’t have any information on-hand. Switch’s small library could have played a role in the strong performance, but the fact that people were interested in the game and were giving it a shot was encouraging.

The latest update for Has-Been Heroes can now be downloaded on Switch. Developer Frozenbyte issued version 1.0.3 today.

The new update adds in some features and fixes as well as improved controller detection on Switch. We’ve posted the full patch notes below.

Frozenbyte has updated Has-Been Heroes on Switch with another update. Version 1.0.2 is out now on the platform.

Specific patch notes for Switch weren’t distributed (at least as of now), but some news was shared for the Steam version and likely apply here as well. Players should anticipate the following changes and improvements:

* Gameplay: Hitting over enemy Stamina now has a damage penalty of -10% instead of -25%
* Gameplay: Skeleton Leader, who speeds up nearby enemies, now always walks into the battle, never spawns in the middle
* Gameplay: Red-bandana “Boxer” Skeleton Boss health now 1450 (was 1825)
* Gameplay: Heroes’ lane backstab damage increase
* Gameplay: Changes and fixes to Summon Boar spell
* User interface: Helpful popup screen at the start of the game to explain Stamina
