From city building to grand strategy, turn-based tactics to RTS, see more strategy games from Hooded Horse.
A long-forgotten enemy rises and brings portents of doom – the Demon King is coming, and without a champion to strike him down, the world will surely fall to his corruption. Seek out powerful weapons and artifacts by day, stand against his minions by night, and prepare to be hunted by powerful entities from ages past in this roguelite role-playing game.
Every three days, a terrifying new minion of the Demon King begins his hunt, drawn from a pool of over 30 potential bosses. Study each monster’s strengths and unique powers, and adapt your build accordingly. Explore the realm in search of the weapons and equipment best suited to defeat this powerful predator, but be wary of other fell creatures that roam the world by night. With limited time, will you opt to sharpen your blade at hidden ancient forges, pay a high price for rare trinkets from greedy merchants, or seek out mighty armor and magical shields? Choose the tools that work best against the powerful enemy that hunts you today, without sacrificing your preparedness for what comes next, overcoming the guardians of each realm until the Demon King Himself stands before you.
Pursue a multitude of strategies and synergies with over 350 items at your disposal to confront the unique challenge of each monstrous boss. When hunted by the Razorclaw Grizzly, whose fierce attacks ignore all armor, how much armor will you sacrifice for equipment that prioritizes maximum health, speed, or damage? The lesser monsters stalking the realms will wage a war of attrition against an unarmored hero, and should the Razorclaw Grizzly be slain, three days may not provide enough time to gather enough armor for the next great foe that hunts you. You may, in place of armor, find several items that enhance your speed and attack strength, allowing you to strike first and hard, vanquishing your enemy swiftly – sometimes before it’s able to strike at all. Then, if you luck upon the Saffron Feather, you’d be able to take advantage of your high speed to help regenerate wounds during battle. But should you find yourself hunted by the Black Knight, who absorbs your attack power as his own, high armor becomes a priority over raw attack strength – with the aid of Razor Scales armor to reflect damage back upon your enemy, and enchanted Ruby Earrings to inflict damage every other turn, the Black Knight would face steady damage without raw attack power to absorb for himself. But if you happen upon a powerful magical weapon, do you dare take it up, knowing it will strengthen the Black Knight for the fight ahead, but come to your aid should you survive it?
There are a plethora of options for each threat, with a variety of powerful combinations to be discovered and exploited at your disposal among the countless items, and constant tradeoffs between the near and long-term threats – with limited space in your inventory, you must choose wisely and adapt constantly.
He is Coming also features an asynchronous multiplayer mode, Kingmaker – seek out the fallen Demon King’s crown in an ultimate test of your strategies where your champion faces off against the powerful builds of other players. Plan around the equipment and abilities of these would-be heroes in the hunt for the crown, and face a constant onslaught of unique combinations and unforeseeable circumstances – how will you rise above all others?
You will face both great victories and noble defeats. Each run will contribute to your progression as you complete over 100 unique challenges that add powerful new artifacts to the pool of items available for future runs – while your first hero may not defeat the Demon King, their efforts will not be in vain.
The world descends slowly into chaos as the Demon King grows in strength – the trees wither away, the grass turns to ash, and the bogs turn putrid with the stench of death. Take on the mantle of a hero and prepare yourself – for He is Coming.

The gameplay loop is fun, but the lack of interesting enemies and items makes the game feel dull after not long. This is not an RPG with power fantasy elements, it's just deciding on which items will do best against the next boss. The PvP mode seems like it has more development focus than the main game, so I'd say there's some false advertising in the listing, not letting the user know that PvP is prioritized. Absolutely not worth $20 or even $13 on sale.
I played this game for over 10h now and so far I really like it. At first the final woodland boss felt really hard, but at some point you find ways to regulary beat it. So progression in your tactic is there and you unlock new objects, what is keeping me motivated so far. Graphics are minimal, but that has its own charme and they are totally fine for this kind of game. I really like the music, but I can already see, that it could become boring in the future, but that's often the case in games. The length of one run is perfect, it makes you always come back for just one more run.
But what I would wish for, which someone else also already has mentioned, would be more ways to combine objects. I would like to combine objects besides basic ones, golden ones and food. And I would like, that combinations would change the objects more, so that it's not like you just stack them and have more room for new ones, but that it would change the objects behaviour, like when you use the honey, or, like other games do it, like in Hades, where weapons can change their whole kind of how the function (I know, quite different game and gameplay, but still). I know, that this would be harder to balance, but sometimes it is the charme of some builds, that they are suddenly way stronger then others (works in games like Slay the Spire great, too).
Anyway, I see myself keeping on playing for quite some more hours and I hope for more content in the future! :)
