Big Helmet Heroes: The Cartoon Hack & Slash Game... that may become a Family Favorite!

Looking for a fast-paced action game with the ability to deliver big laughs, bold battles, and doesn’t break the bank? Big Helmet Heroes might be a great addition to your collection... and the best part? It’s fun for all ages! This feels like a first party PlayStation exclusive to me, check it out:

This colorful hack-and-slash game blends hilarious cartoon visuals, customizable armor, and satisfying combat into a package that’s both entertaining and family-friendly. Whether you’re a seasoned gamer able to string combos like an EVO vet... or just want something lightly sprinkled to enjoy with the family, Big Helmet Heroes has enough... oomph for everyone + the sound effects & background music are beautifully blended with the visuals to make this awesome sauce!

Why I think this could become a family favorite, is a feature the game doesn't even have yet! (You heard me right, but...) If the Devs are able to resolve the performance issues with 4-player co-op... Big Helmet Heroes will be perfect for family fun night! It's one of those highly entertaining games that can set a Friday night off right alongside a really good pizza, your favorite drinks + a fun movie! Everything feels like it should be a 4-player co-op too, so... I think it's just a matter of time. You get to choose from 4 distict combat styles with heroes like... The Warrior, Brute, The Rogue, and... The Monk. Their different combat styles are a perfect co-op combo to take on the challenges ahead when 4-player action is finally implemented, plus look at the amount of space + the placement of the player HUD on the screen was evidence enough that you can place three more with ease.

I believe it would add to the longevity of the game's support to add 4-player co-op, and if they serve up DLC adventures (which they may simply turn in the direction of sequels instead)... it would keep the party going. Big Helmet Heroes has the potential to be a franchise in my opinion, that could also serve as a gem of fun for game nights. By the way, I will present this article to the Devs to help fuel their multiplayer motivation.

By the way, if you want the full package... the Exalted Edition is only a few bucks more. Meaning, you get:

Big Helmet Heroes (same version as the basic edition)

+ Big Helmet heroes - Artbook

+ Big Helmet Heroes - Soundtrack

Grab Big Helmet Heroes while its 20% off and you'll get it for $19.99 or $23.99 for the Exalted Edition. So strap on your helm, grab your favorite game controller a + 1... and game on!

Sands of Aura: An Inspiring Journey by Indie Devs

Indie games are often a labor of love, fueled by passion, creativity, and a desire to create something unique. Sands of Aura, an open-world action RPG developed by Chashu Entertainment, stands as a nice example of what indie developers can achieve with determination and vision. With its compelling story, immersive gameplay style, and replay value, this game showcases the results and inspiration that other indie creators can appreciate.

Chashu Entertainment, a small team of just twelve developers, demonstrates what’s possible with passion and dedication. Their ability to deliver a polished, lore-rich, and visually cool game is a testament to the power of indie creativity. Despite the challenges faced by small studios, Sands of Aura proves that an impactful game can be built with a clear vision and thoughtful execution.

Story: Crafting a Compelling Narrative

One of the most striking aspects of Sands of Aura is its rich and somber narrative. Set in the dying world of Talamhel, now buried beneath an endless sea of sand, the story draws players into a realm devastated by a cataclysm. The idea of a shattered hourglass of time transforming the land into a barren wasteland is both poetic and haunting, a theme that resonates with players seeking a deeper, emotional connection to the game world.

For indie developers, the takeaway is clear: a powerful story can elevate a game, no matter the budget. By weaving elements of mythology, dark fantasy, and post-apocalyptic themes, Sands of Aura creates a unique world that feels alive despite its desolation. Indie developers can draw inspiration from this by embracing bold, imaginative storytelling that leaves a lasting impact on players.

Gameplay Style: Merging Challenge and Freedom

Sands of Aura shines in its gameplay design, blending the intensity of souls-like combat with the freedom of open-world exploration. Players must carefully time attacks, parries, and dodges to survive relentless enemies, all while navigating vast sandseas and uncovering hidden secrets. This mix of challenging mechanics and open-ended exploration keeps players engaged, creating a rewarding experience.

For indie developers, the lesson is in balance. Striking the right mix of difficulty and freedom can create a deeply satisfying gameplay loop. Developers can also look to Sands of Aura for its innovative use of the environment, where sandseas replace traditional oceans, adding a fresh layer of world-building to the gameplay experience.

Replay Value: Encouraging Multiple Playthroughs

Replayability is another strong suit of Sands of Aura. The game encourages players to explore every corner of its world, discover hidden lore, and master its combat systems. Each session can feel unique, with choices and strategies shaping the journey. This depth of content ensures that players remain invested long after their first playthrough. There will be things that you're able to go back to in the initial area to discover as well. To get the pickaxe, you will have to do a quest for Danaya, the Forgestroke and return the forge hammer to her. Indie developers are usually the new kids on the block, but they can teach vets a thing or two if they're willing to learn. If there's nothing to learn, perhaps it could be a reminder of the joy that passion projects can bring.

Take your time to power up and prepare for the difficult enemies and bosses.

 If Sands of Aura looks like an adventure you'd love to dive into,
grab it free for a limited time and game on!
