Hellish Tower Defense Game ‘Heretic’s Fork’ Now Available on Steam [Trailer]
Judgement Day is here for those looking to grab 9FingerGames’ Heretic’s Fork, which is now available on Steam with a 15% discount for a limited time. Accompanying the release is a brand-new launch trailer, which gives you a brief look at the frenetic action that’s in store for you as you manage the rift between Hell and Earth.
For those not in the know, in Heretic’s Fork, players are tasked with navigating through the bureaucracy of Hell as the newly appointed Hell’s Manager. That involves punishing sinners using the state-of-the-art computer system, the eponymous Heretic’s Fork, by building defense towers to hold back the swarms. Seeing as you have to manage all the circles of Hell, you’ll have to hire demonic subordinates to manage things.
Mixing up the game mechanics is the game’s deck building mechanics, which further fortifies your towers and gives you new weapons. You’ll be using these cards to add new sections to your tower, create demonic garrison units, trigger holy, unholy and hellfire effects, and much more. Successful runs unlock more cards, which you can then purchase from the money you’ve earned from the number of heretics you’ve culled.
Adding to the immersive atmosphere of Heretic’s Fork is the hauntingly dark music created by Occams Laser, Gates of Chaos and Metalhonic. 9Fingergames and publisher Ravenage Games are planning to add some more music to the game soon as a free update. And for you audiophiles, all 29 of Occams Laser’s tracks for Heretic’s Fork are also available for purchase as a Soundtrack DLC on Steam.
Panache Digital Games has released a new gameplay feature video for 1666: Amsterdam, offering a closer look at the two protagonists—Noah and Aaron—at the heart of the upcoming story-led dark fantasy action title. In addition, the gameplay feature also offers a closer look at the mystical tools and powers that shape Noa’s journey and the unique bond that defines their adventure.
In 1666: Amsterdam, Noa Brooklyn is the heir to an ancient lineage of Zaindaris tasked with hunting down The Originals. Meanwhile, Aaron is mysteriously summoned 300 years into the past and trapped inside the body of a cat. Bound together across centuries, the two must work as one to uncover hidden truths and confront an ancient force threatening the balance of the world.
Set to launch into Early Access on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, 1666: Amsterdam centres around the eponymous city that was built on wealth, power, and sheer will, but now fuelled by a sinister force it did not forge. Entities known as The Originals have lived for centuries, granted time, granted power, and the freedom to abuse both. That power is now owed. Noa Brooklyn was born The Collector, raised by the Zaindaris for a purpose she did not choose: taking that power back.
