GamerScout Verdict
Worth a weekend if you want short twin-stick runs with a rebuild hook, not if you want loot that changes your build.
Compare Prices(3 stores)
Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Next Hero
This one is for players who want a controller-friendly twin-stick roguelike they can dip into for twenty minutes at a time, and it is not for anyone chasing a build system that transforms how a character plays. Runs are short by design, the procedural dungeons churn out swarms you clear by strafing and shooting, and the village-rebuilding layer gives you a reason to keep hauling resources back out of the dungeon. That loop works. Rebuilding structures between runs is a decent hook, and pad support is solid enough that it feels better on a couch than at a desk. Where it thins out is the loot. Gear mostly nudges numbers rather than rewriting your approach, so by the time you have seen the enemy patterns and the room layouts start repeating, the grind stops paying you back in ideas. There is no character writing to chew on, no arc to follow, just the meter filling. Mixed reviews feel about right. Fine for a weekend, forgettable by hour fifteen.
