Update 0.1.3: More Cards, Better Control, and a Hotter Dungeon

Kill The Hero Playtest · published

Your dungeon has more ways to ruin a hero’s day.

This update focuses on new cards, stronger Professor progression, clearer tutorials, and a more atmospheric dungeon world. More tools, more danger, more chances to turn overconfident “heroes” into useful gold.

New Cards

  • Heal the Professor when the heroes get a little too close.
  • Boost the Professor’s damage and make your last line of defense hit harder.
  • Gold Rush lets defeated heroes drop even more gold.
  • Respawn Guard can bring fallen guards back into the fight.
  • Freeze Hero now has more powerful variants, from single-target freezes to wider area effects.

More Ways to Grow Stronger

The Professor can now be improved through research, including upgrades for health, damage, and movement speed.

Every hero you defeat gives you more gold to invest into your dungeon, your defenses, and your path toward the World Domination Machine.

Dungeon Improvements

  • The dungeon world now has a more dramatic outdoor lava border.
  • Wall breaching is more useful in tight layouts and around corridors.
  • The auto camera can now be turned on or off during battle.
  • A new guard tutorial helps explain how guards move into position and support your defense.

More Languages

Kill The Hero now supports more languages at game start, including Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, Italian, Spanish, and French.
