He is Coming

Our main concern is to ensure that the knight has enough time to properly prepare for the encounter with the opponent, because otherwise he will have to start the whole journey from the beginning in a procedurally generated, altered world. All battles take place automatically and our role is reduced to observing how the hero created by us copes in confrontations with successive enemies.

Preparing for fights

Preparing for the next battles is not easy, as each of the opponents has been equipped with individual characteristics and a unique set of strengths and weaknesses. For example, no armor is capable of stopping the attacks of a grizzly (thus, when gathering strength to fight it, we must focus on the factor of inflicted damage and attack speed), while the black knight has total resistance to offensive actions (therefore, the key to victory is to ensure the ability to deflect his own attacks).

Collecting gear

Over the course of three days separating the next battles we explore the land and search for equipment, led by weapons, armor and other useful items (such as artifacts). We can find gear, purchase it from merchants or craft it ourselves. The issue is further complicated by the fact that we are faced with other, lesser opponents on the way. In addition to this, having to deal with our task is complicated by the fact that three days often are not enough to properly prepare our character for a fight with a specific type of opponent, which forces us to make various compromises.

Asynchronous multiplayer

He is Coming primarily focuses on singleplayer gameplay. An asynchronous multiplayer mode called Kingmaker has also been implemented in the game, in which we search for the crown of the fallen Demon King, along the way facing heroes created by other players.

Graphics

The graphic design of He is Coming is maintained in a simple, pixel art style, which may evoke associations with the era of 8-bit platforms.
