Hero Core
Hero Core is a compact exploration-heavy action game from Daniel Remar and a follow-up to the freeware classic Hero. You control a tiny armored hero exploring a sprawling, interconnected facility filled with enemies, hazards, upgrades and secrets. The deliberately minimalist graphics give it a retro feel, but the level design is anything but simplistic. New abilities gradually open previously inaccessible areas, encouraging exploration and making the world feel considerably larger than its modest presentation suggests. Combat is fast and satisfying, while the emphasis on discovery gives the game a nice Metroidvania flavor. It is proof that you do not need photorealistic graphics to build a world players actually want to get lost in.
“Flip Hero returns for the final battle against his nemesis, Cruiser Tetron - but can he really stop the reign of the machine warlord for all time? Like the first game, the graphics are black and white, the controls are simple and the gameplay is easy to learn. The nonlinear game world allows you to tackle the boss machines in nearly any order, or head straight for Tetron's headquarters if you're skilled enough.” - Daniel Remar
