Summary

  • He Is Coming is a roguelite from Chronocle and published by Hooded Horse, which is clearly inspired by the 1980s gaming scene
  • The player controls a knight who battles enemies and collects upgrades to get stronger ahead of an oncoming timer, when a harder boss will spawn.
  • Notwithstanding the humorous tone of the preview, the game does appear to have a compelling meta progression mechanic, whereby real progression is made between runs.
  • Rock Paper Shotgun’s Huston Smitty sums it up thus: “A long-forgotten enemy rises and brings portents of doom – the Demon King is coming, and without a champion to strike him down, the world will surely fall to his corruption.
  • Seek out powerful weapons and artifacts by day, stand against his minions by night, and prepare to be hunted by powerful entities from ages past in this roguelite role-playing game.”.
  • The game is set to launch in 2022.
