Referring to a game as ‘souls-like’ or ‘souls-lite’ often evokes thoughts of a somber, atmospheric setting brimming with formidable bosses that inspire trepidation before a player has even stepped into the battle arena. However, Pancake Games and Whitethorn Games are set to challenge this conventional imagery by introducing an action-adventure game titled Slime Heroes, which promises to offer a distinct take on what a ‘souls-lite’ can be.
Rather than the grimy, harsh environment typical of soul-like games, Slime Heroes offers a cheerful and playful setting. In this game, a cute, diminutive slime character takes on the challenge of halting an enigma behind a sinister corruption.
In a side-by-side journey through six colorful territories, you and a friend can join forces to combat the ruthlessly corrupt foes in Slime Heroes, a couch co-op game. The unique shared loot system lets you and your buddy develop your characters with complementary skills as you progress. However, it seems that at launch, Slime Heroes won’t offer online play, but it will include a local multiplayer feature where players can easily join or leave the game at any time.
In this enchanting slime-themed game, players will encounter each of the gods governing different realms, but before they do, they must delve into the labyrinthine secret corridors, concealed zones, and distinctive dungeons brimming with brainteasers. If you’re not accustomed to Souls games or prefer a less challenging experience, Slime Heroes might seem intimidating at first glance due to its epic boss fights. However, this game has several features that make it more inviting and user-friendly for a broader range of players.
The ‘Souls’-like or lighter version of games, named after the challenging Dark Souls series, is often seen as featuring games that are notoriously tough to grasp. However, instead of following this trend, Whitethorn and Pancake Games have chosen to design Slime Heroes with an emphasis on being user-friendly and welcoming to a broader range of players. A rundown of the accessibility features planned for Slime Heroes before its release was recently shared on the Whitethorn Games website.
Slime Heroes will feature the following accessibility options:
- Optional double jump for more leniency and a greater margin of error for jumping puzzles.
- Increase or decrease the time allotted for timed puzzles.
- Alter elements of combat, including decreasing or increasing any of the following:
- Incoming enemy damage.
- Incoming enemy boss damage.
- Incoming world damage.
- Outgoing player damage.
- The rate of player stamina regeneration.
- Speed of incoming enemy attacks.
- Input remapping on keyboard and controller.
- Toggle switch for crouching.
- Independently adjustable audio for sound effects and music.
- Enable and disable flashing lights and camera shake.
- Subtitles for all dialogue on by default.
The discussion about accessibility and user-friendly elements in games similar to Souls frequently sparks heated discussions on social platforms. Players often express varying opinions, some advocating for and others against the integration of accessibility features in the Souls series and its derivative indie games. Topics range from adjustable difficulty levels to the necessity of a pause function. Despite these ongoing debates, independent game studios like Pancake Games and Whitethorn Games continue to recognize the importance of crafting a more welcoming soulslike experience for their players.
Pancake Games, a tiny game studio located in Seattle, has just released its first game titled Slime Heroes. This game is being published by Whitethorn Games, known for creating comforting and laid-back games such as APICO, Botany Manor, and Lake. The release date for Slime Heroes is set for February 13 on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC through Steam.
