About Thousands of Heroes
Thousands of Heroes is a roguelike RPG developed by radiuthree that emphasizes resource management over combat flair. Released September 18, 2025, it plays out on PC and Mac, blending solo and co-op gameplay. The core hook is managing consumable items, each with limited uses, forcing tough choices between immediate needs and future risks. Players navigate procedurally generated dungeons, with co-op enabling shared dungeon IDs for team runs. It’s a lean, strategy-first experience for fans of games where every decision carries weight.
Gameplay
Each session revolves around survival through calculated item use. Weapons, potions, and tools degrade after multiple uses, pushing players to ration resources or risk early death. Combat is turn-based but fast-paced, with enemies scaling in difficulty as you progress. Co-op adds layers of complexity, players must sync strategies to avoid overlapping item depletion. Between runs, you tweak loadouts and plan for the next attempt. Controls are simple, but the tension of managing dwindling supplies keeps every move high-stakes. The game’s charm lies in its punishing yet fair systems, rewarding careful planning over reflexes.
What Players Think
Community rating sits at 8.2/10, with critics averaging 78/100. Players log 22 hours on average, and 42% complete the game. Moods: 30% excited, 25% frustrated, 20% curious. Reviews split on co-op, some praise its collaborative thrill, while others call it “underpolished.” One user noted, “Resource management is tight but punishing,” while another wrote, “Co-op feels like a tacked-on bonus.” Achievement unlock rate is 68% for 12 total, with 23% of players earning all. The game divides crowds: it’s loved by strategists but alienates casual players.
PlayPile's Take
Thousands of Heroes is a niche pick for RPG fans who thrive on risk-reward systems. At $29.99, it’s a mid-tier indie with replay value for dedicated players. The 12 achievements (68% average completion) suggest a challenging but fair grind. Skip if you dislike permadeath or prefer action over planning. For those who enjoy roguelikes with a focus on resource scarcity, this is a solid, if divisive, choice. The co-op mode is promising but not essential, stick to solo if you want the full experience.
