About Hero Siege

Hero Siege is a pixel-art action RPG developed by Panic Art Studios Ltd, built around Diablo-style dungeon crawling.

Hero Siege is a pixel-art action RPG developed by UK studio Panic Art Studios Ltd and released on Steam on January 29, 2014. Set in the world of Tarethiel, it follows heroes fighting demonic forces, including demon lords, ancient monsters, and fallen angels. The game offers 23 playable classes, spanning melee fighters, archers, gun-wielding hunters, turret engineers, summoners, and mages. Each class has active abilities and supporting skill trees. Extensive equipment and rune systems create room for detailed buildcrafting. More than 1,000 unique items include random magical gear and handcrafted Satanic, Heroic, and Angelic sets. Runes can be socketed into plain base items to create runewords. Players can trade items in real time with others at the Tarethiel Market in the village of Mos'Arathim. Trading is a major part of character progression and build development. An Adventure Log documents mechanics, unique items, runewords, and crafting recipes. Seasons refresh every four months with new items, bosses, mechanics, and limited cosmetic rewards such as skins, wings, and portrait frames. The developers state that Hero Siege has no pay-to-win mechanics and sells no gameplay advantages. The game combines hack-and-slash dungeon exploration with build-driven character progression and is designed for high replayability.
