Indie Beat ‘Em Up Proves There’s No Love Like Robot Love

Indie Beat ‘Em Up Proves There’s No Love Like Robot Love

Poorly explained, vague robot love at that. The best kind.

What we have here is Heart&Slash, a retro-ish 3D beat ’em up with roguelike elements. The developer wanted to combine the fast-paced combat of brawlers like Bayonetta with the huge number of customisation options seen in roguelike RPGs — basically, you’re a robot, and as you beat up other robots, you get lotsa robot parts and weapons to have fun with. Observe:

Story-wise, Heart&Slash is about finding love and fighting against oppression and conformity in a dystopian, machine-dominated sci-fi world. Or something along those lines. Really, it’s a bit murky at this point. An interesting idea, nevertheless, on top of an already good-looking brawler.

Look for Heart&Slash to arrive on PC in December.
