Gameplay

Next Up Hero is an action dungeon crawl game video game featuring a cast of eclectic heroes with special abilities who will all take turns trying to conquer tough monsters. Death results in the next hero being able to resurrect their fallen brethren as an AI companion, called an "Echo," to do battle alongside them.[3]

Development

The game was developed in Unity. Digital Continue was founded by 5th Cell alumnus, Joe Tringali and describes Next Up Hero as an “asynchronous co-op, 2D/3D orthographic projection with isometric angle twin-stick arcade game played on server-hosted sessions".[4]

Next Up Hero was announced at RTX in Austin, TX on July 14, 2017.[5]

A closed beta was available until January 10, 2018 on Steam for Windows. The game launched in Early Access on January 11, 2018 on Steam for Windows.[6]

gollark: The spec, I mean. I don't think we managed to implement that because it makes no sense.
gollark: It has an innovative syntax-based type system.
gollark: For the lulz™, me and a friend wrote a partial exam board "pseudocode" to exam board "assembly" compiler.
gollark: The exam board for computer science here writes "pseudocode" in a deranged BASIC derivative which is actually fairly well specified.
gollark: I suppose someone (actually, many people) probably made a BASIC→JS compiler at some point.
