He is Coming (2025)

Deep in the forgotten corners of the world, a dark force stirs – the Demon King rises once more. Sharpen your wits, seek out powerful artifacts, and stand firm in the face of the apocalypse in this roguelite RPG auto battler.

He is Coming is a roguelite role-playing game that engulfs players in a world teetering on the edge of destruction. An ancient enemy, the Demon King, is rising, threatening to spread decay and ignominy across the world with a constant onslaught of foreboding minions and overwhelming threats.

The game operates on a unique time-basis mechanism, where every three days a new villain from a pool of 30 potential bosses hunts players. It demands adaptation from the player concerning the villain’s strengths and specific abilities, urging the consideration of present and future challenges. This dynamic reframes the traditional game progress by adding a strategic layer compelling players to constantly optimize their builds.

He is Coming renders an expansive realm filled with potent weapons, artifacts, and hidden forges. It lures players into an exciting balance of risk and reward, compelling consideration such as whether to arm the character with rare trinkets from merchants, or seek powerful armor and shields.

With an impressive collection of over 350 items, players can adopt a multitude of strategies and synergies to tackle each unique monstrous boss. The game does an exceptional job in offering a wide array of tactical approaches, including increased health, speed, or damage, all depending upon the type of monster. This kind of strategic flexibility mixed with thrilling uncertainty is a move away from the classic roguelite genre, leaning more into the territory of intense role-playing.

Adding a compact multiplayer component, the Kingmaker mode, where players vie for the fallen Demon King’s crown hones in the survival of the fittest amongst player built characters. Each fight becomes more challenging, with unpredictable outcomes due to unique combinations and unforeseen circumstances.

The game brilliantly uses the age-old formula of defeat and triumph, assuring that even the noblest defeats would contribute to player progression from its pool of 100 unique challenges. This feature promises a value-addition to the gaming experience, presenting an opportunity for players to better their approach with every subsequent run —inescapably hinting that defeat doesn’t signify the end.

The more the Demon King gains power, the more the atmospheric tone of the game shifts, further fueling the gravitational weight of each decision made by the player. The landscape changes, mirroring the chaos ignited by the Demon King - withering trees, ashen grass, and putrid bogs.

With ‘He is Coming’, the game-makers deliver an engaging narrative-driven RPG that excels in its roguelite framework while pushing boundaries to invite unprecedented gameplay strategies and emergent storytelling. The game dips players into a remarkable survival journey, challenging them to take on the mantle of a hero and be ever-adapting to the challenges that lie ahead – for He is Coming.
