Interesting brawler/rogue-like/puzzle game design, Cool 2D art style, Lots of heroes, spells and other content to unlock
Too repetitive, challenging and demoralising, Rewards are too thin to justify the work, Fighting the same enemies in similar locations, over and over again
Has-Been Heroes is an interesting attempt at a new kind of puzzle/strategy/brawler hybrid, but it's never as much fun to play as it looks like it should be. It's a game that has good ideas and strong visual design in its favour, but it never manages to ba...

Combat system can be enjoyable, especially when unlocking strong spells, Potential for some interesting combos and strategies, Works well as a portable game on Switch and suits short bursts or unfocused play
Needing to defeat the same enemies repeatedly, Little sense of real progression beyond getting better at fighting bosses, Weak narrative, repetitive structure, and uneven difficulty weaken the player's resolve, Even by roguelike standards, there's too muc
There are some good ideas in Has Been Heroes, such as the way it uses multi-lane battlefields to make us use strategies that involve switching between the strengths of three different heroes to achieve victory. It's a recipe for fun that manages to last f...
Has some high points, but soon gave way to glaring faults. Not the worst game, but is difficult to recommend. How we score: The Destructoid Reviews Guide...
