Heroes Swipe Right – now out for PC & Mac!

Our latest video game is a rogue-lite with a twist: Heroes Swipe Right blends action, challenging gameplay, comedy, and online dating (?!) into a quirky dungeon crawler.

Available now for PC & Mac!

What’s All This, Then?

Heroes Swipe Right is a challenging dungeon crawler where you form your party of adventurers using a dating app, swiping left to pass on the losers and right to pair with capable allies. Every potential match comes with their strengths and quirks, many of which drastically alter the nature of the game.

Maybe they’re a herculean warrior who’s also a hoarder.
Or maybe they’re a powerful mage who’s nearsighted.
Or maybe they’re a devilish rogue who constantly sends you pictures of their ducks.

Every run is unique and interesting!

We just launched on Steam and Itch.io and would love if you’d take a look. 😀
