Update notes for 8/26/2023

Allow P1 to seamlessly switch between using different controllers or keyboard/mouse (instead of joining a new player).
Add a new toggle in the "PLAYERS" tab to enable other players to join (since the new behavior above would prevent that essentially).

Command Heroes is OUT NOW!

The day is finally here, but this is just the beginning. What a journey. As some of you may know, this was a solo project with the help of 2 very talented friends along the way.

How to Play:

You can find a "How to Play" section within the game, in the "GAME" tab of the pause menu.

What to Play:

The various game modes give a different experience. I suggest experimenting with settings on "Custom" mode, including setting the spawn for your team in the middle of enemy AI teams once you are familiar with the game mechanics, and later making the enemy AI's on the same team vs you instead of a free-for-all. In Custom mode, there are no "edges" to the map, instead it wraps around in a sort of non-Euclidean geometry. If you walk across the far left edge, you will be teleported to the right edge of the map and vice-versa. Campaign mode is playable, but still a work in progress, expect huge changes to that mode. Endless and Survival modes challenge you with increasingly more difficult enemies, and you must keep pace by acquiring powerful artifacts and leveling up your hero or you will be left behind. In these modes you can become extremely powerful, soaring across the map and taking on massive hordes which were previously impossible.

Help me help you:

I am listening to feedback, and the game will experience radical transformations now that there are many more eyes on it. Join our discord, message me on Twitter, start a Discussion on Steam, email me, contact via our website; whatever form of communication you prefer. I will get the message and respond.

Gutierrez

Faction: Human Health: 120 Speed: 11 Special: Medical Syringe A rancher who rose to become a fearless leader in a war of independence with only 21 soldiers by his side. ======================

Bone MIRV Turret

Campaign Mode

Campaign mode is here! Hop around the cosmos gathering gear, mining some sweet resources, and paying off your debt (or maybe you have other motives?). Your crew is everything.

Introducing 3 new Heroes:

West

Faction: Human Health: 16 Speed: 10 Special: Dash Armed with a rocket launcher & sword, he will walk through hell without breaking a sweat.

Choi Chun Hi

In Command Heroes, you control a Hero from one of many Factions in the game each with unique abilities, equipment, and perks to unlock. Battle it out in a mash-up between a twin-stick action platformer & RTS blend. Unlock new units, weapons, buildings, & equipment. Upgrade your crew between matches, and press onward towards victory! Team up with up to 3 friends for 4-player split-screen action, or set up a custom sandbox map with up to 10 players & AI.

Factions

Each faction has diverse units, buildings, weapons, and heroes. Shift and shape your strategy accordingly. Surprise your enemies with unlimited play-style approaches. Will you attack from above, below, or both? Whether you approach with style & finesse or overwhelm by brute force, you’ll be faced with new challenges and find new strategies each match.

1-10 Multiplayer Co-op or Versus

Play solo, or with 1-4 local players (or online players via Remote Play Together) in a hectic resource race. Set up custom matches with full flexibility on team alliances between players & AI. Up to 10 players & AI total.

Survival Game Mode

Fend off waves of enemies with a brief respite to repair & build. Team up with other players to survive together. How many waves can you survive? Try to beat your personal best.

Dig Deep

Head underground (or to orbiting moons!) to discover artifacts of mystical or technological power which can help turn the tide in your team’s favor. Summon an ancient stone golem, an orbital satellite strike, or dozens of other sources of destruction, healing, wealth, and power. Defend artifacts once revealed or that power can fall into your enemy’s hands. All teams are notified when a high value Artifact has been detected, so they can race to the location arena and battle for control. Perhaps instead, you will use this chance to strike your enemy's base on the surface while they are busy claiming the Artifact.
