The Hero's Legacy Free Download

Bullet-hell bosses, deep loot and huge builds, solo or in co-op.

The Hero's Legacy is a pixel ARPG that mixes the bullet-hell co-op of Realm of the Mad God with the loot and builds of Path of Exile and Diablo. Play solo, host your friends online, or play with up to 4 players on one couch in local split-screen co-op. Chase uniques and 6-link gear, and build your hero on a huge passive tree. Play Softcore or Hardcore.

Solo, online or on one couch

• Fully offline solo: no internet needed.

• Host a world for your friends through Steam, or on your local network.

• Join public worlds, or run your own dedicated server for bigger groups.

• Up to 4 players on one couch, shared or split screen, on top of any of them.

Six links, sets and uniques

• Up to 6 linked sockets: slot skill runes and the sigils that change how they work.

• Gear sets with build-changing bonuses, from levelling to the endgame.

• Rare gear with tiered affixes, uniques, and graded endgame drops: Kindled, Blazing and Radiant.

• Crafting orbs to reroll, add, remove and lock affixes, and the Twinning Glass: a jackpot orb that makes an exact copy of your best item.

• Loot drops on the ground with labels and beams. A loot filter with presets, colours and sounds hides the junk.

• Armour, Evasion or Energy Shield: every build picks its defence.

12 classes, one huge tree

• 12 classes to choose from. Start with 4, unlock the rest through your heroes' deeds.

• A huge passive tree with keystones that change how you play, like Spark Reflex: your crits cast the skills socketed in the tree. Built for theorycrafters.

• Lodestones: stones you set into the tree for extra stats. Craft them with orbs, or find a Relic that changes the nodes around it.

• Skill runes for every style: ring a temple bell, spin through a pack, raise a legion of bones, walk as a living pyre.

Bullet-hell bosses

• Every boss has its own bullet-hell patterns: rings, spirals, beams, aimed volleys and safe gaps you have to find.

• Hard but fair: every attack can be dodged, and the warning always shows where the hit lands. Melee builds can win too.

• Dragons and huge world bosses roam the high-level lands. Everyone who fights them gets their own loot.

• The death screen tells you what killed you.

Softcore or Hardcore

• Softcore is the default. Death costs nothing: you get back up in town or at your bed.

• Hardcore is your choice. One life per hero, and a fallen hero loses what they carried.

• Softcore and Hardcore don't share anything: each has its own heroes, worlds, economy, Family Bank, skills, Legacy and leaderboards.

• The town cairn remembers fallen Hardcore heroes and retired heroes: who they were, what killed them and what they wore.

• Each Rebirth grows your class Legacy, and in Hardcore so does each fall. The next hero of that class starts stronger.

Ember Rifts and Pinnacle lords

• Ember Rifts that keep getting harder, with their own bosses and Steam leaderboards for every class.

• Pinnacle lords at the very top, with turning beams, a mirror twin, a spectral stampede and more. Beat them on Tier III for rare chase uniques.

• Uniques and drop locations are all in the in-game Codex.

Home, family and professions

• A main story and side deeds.

• Woodcutting, mining, fishing, cooking, crafting, herblore and farming: levelled by your family, never lost on death.

• Build your own home: furnish it, strengthen your Hearth to grow your claim, grow crops, cook meals and keep animals.

• Explore dungeons, each with its own boss.
