Most soulslikes ask you to dodge, parry, and punish. In False Hero you will take. Launching its free demo on June 4 ahead of Steam Next Fest (June 15-22), False Hero is a retro-styled, fast-paced soulslike adventure with a combat system unlike anything else in the genre. Its defining hook is the ability to steal your enemies’ attacks and chain them into deadly combos, turning every encounter into a puzzle of which skills to equip, when to use them, and how to string it all together. False Hero was developed by a solo developer (Torchlight Studios) over six years(!), who created absolutely every element—art, design, code, animations, and the soundtrack!— and will be published by Ytopia.
