Nintendo Switch joins the fray on Jan. 2, 2023
BOULDER, Colorado — December 16, 2022 — HEROish, the card-battling MOBA-lite with charming champions and surprising depth, blows the horn of battle today on Steam for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, followed by Nintendo Switch on Jan. 2, 2023. Sunblink’s critically acclaimed Apple Arcade hit, first launched in July 2022, marries the white-knuckle tension of real-time battle arenas with accessible, card-based combat that’s easy for anyone to pick up and play.
“An incredible community of players came out for the launch of HEROish on Apple Arcade and really understood what we were adding to this genre,” said Julian Farrior, CEO and Founder of Sunblink. “This kind of fast-paced, strategic action can enrapture, but is sometimes daunting—we wanted to introduce a new audience to this excitement through the friendly, inviting lens of cards and deck building. Some of the most talented game developers I’ve ever known helped ensure HEROish is warm and welcoming to new players, and the community’s feedback since launch has helped us polish the solo and multiplayer gameplay to a mirror sheen.”
Today’s multi-platform release, featuring PvP crossplay between PC and consoles, debuts alongside the game’s biggest content update yet, with feature parity across the Apple App Store, Steam, and all consoles. Find new strategies with 18 new cards and dozens of reworked ones, test your mettle in the new Brutal campaign difficulty, and reach the top of a 40-level progression track, unlocking new cards, heroes, and currency with each level-up.
Set in a colorful fantasy land brought to vibrant life by humorous storytelling, enchanting orchestral music, and hand-crafted environments, HEROish features six eccentric hero-ish characters with big combat potential and even bigger personalities. Heal summoned troops as the goodly paladin Flynn, raise the dead with sorceress Lavinia’s necromantic spells, or ambush opponents with poison traps as Spiderbait, the cute-but-deadly anthropomorphic mouse. Conquer three story campaigns packed with drama, laughs, and thrilling cinematics, or go head-to-head in fiercely competitive 1v1 and 2v2 multiplayer matches.
HEROish launches today for USD $19.99 on Steam for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One, followed by Nintendo Switch on Jan. 2, 2023. These new releases join the Apple Arcade original with full content parity.
