Prices
The United States storefront in every case, so this compares stores and not countries.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Sep 1 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
The stories about Leshy, Domovoy and Rusalka have always seemed like legends, but in the world of Folk Hero fairy tales have come to life. More and more mysterious events are happening all around: animals disappear in the forests, villagers see mythical creatures, and a mysterious Island has appeared on the horizon…
Become a brave hero, and go to the island of Buyan to discover the cause of the mysterious occurrences!

Unique enemies and bosses. Each enemy requires a different approach. Study their behavior so you don’t miss a single hit. Develop your skills as the Bosses will become a real test of your strength!
Builds. Combine character classes, weapons, artifacts and elemental runes to achieve maximum effectiveness in battle. Combine the runes with each other to gain new features for your weapons!
Various in-game locations. Procedural level generation makes each of your Runs unique. Explore the Mysterious forest, Swamp, Wasteland and the Castle of Koschei. Each biome holds secrets, try to find them all.

Chudo-Yudo Games development team and publisher Targem Games were inspired by such “roguelikes” as Hades, Curse of the Dead Gods, Binding of Isaac, Dead Cells, and Risk of Rain. We took the best, added our own ideas and got a game that will appeal to beginners and experienced players of the Rogue-lite genre alike.
Sums Steam only; Nintendo publishes no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

Бегайте по случайно сгенерированным комнатам, рубите нечисть и собирайте артефакты, попутно пытаясь не потратить всю выносливость на очередного лешего, и помните - не всё то богатырь, что с мечом. Иногда надо просто не помереть от лап кикиморы.
[h3]🎄A Roguelite for Christmas![/h3] [code]Check this game and more on [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/28519188-Hardcore-Reviews]Hardcore Reviews![/url] ⚡[/code] Folk Hero is an addictive rogue-lite hack’n slash with beautiful, minimalistic pixel art graphics and extremely fun, engaging gameplay. It’s set in a medieval fantasy world with a unique atmosphere thanks to its fantastic level design and great attention to detail. The game also supports up to 3 players in co-op, making each run even more enjoyable with friends. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3628514852 [i]🐧 It runs natively on Linux. I had an old save from when I played it on Windows, and thanks to Steam Cloud I was able to continue right where I left off, wonderful![/i] https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3628514603 Exploration in Folk Hero is very pleasant and combat feels great. Each level is randomly generated and ends with a powerful boss. It’s a classic Zelda style rogue-lite focused on clearing rooms, completing side quests, discovering villages with NPCs, shops to buy upgrades or potions, and facing a wide variety of enemies trying to end your run. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3628513943 In short, Folk Hero is an extremely fun and addictive game. Some steam users may describe it as a bit too difficult, but personally I find it to be a very well-balanced challenge, of course shaped by the RNG of each run. It’s a must play for fans of the genre, and in my opinion, an underrated gem that deserves more recognition. A great pick during Steam sales, perfect to put on the tree. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jyku92Cpxg&t=26s 🎅🏿 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

ゲームプレイそのものは非常に面白い。 スタミナ管理と位置取り、探索が非常に重要なゲームで、1回1回の武器強化やステータスアップが有難い。 戦闘難易度は高いものの、搦め手が多く用意されており、敵を同士討ちさせたり罠にはめたりといったズルができる。 ローグライトアクションとしてよくできている。トレーラーを観て面白そうだと思ったら買い。 しかし翻訳が不完全で、誤訳が未訳部分が大量にある。UIすらまともに表示されず、ゲームプレイそのものに支障をきたすレベル。 幸いにも言語依存度はそこまで高くなく、英語のままでもストレスなくプレイできるが、これだったらストアに日本語対応表示しないほうがよかった。
Купил игру, когда она, считай, только вышла, и сначала всё было нормально: обновления не часто, но выходили, в один момент даже мультиплеер завезли, и... всё. Игра больше не обновляется, зато повышается цена. Не советую к покупке.
The game is a bit 1-note. The runs feel the same, the classes take a long time to unlock. The difficulty is very inconsistent--running around in the levels fighting mobs is easy, then some bosses are quite hard. The exploration is tedious as you run into the same small handful of events and loot over and over. You can't transition between map areas unless you come to a specific spot in the screen, dragging travel time out way too much. There's about 10 hours of fun here, nothing inspiring.
Вот вроде бы круто, здорово, но мало. Особенно предметов мало. Да и ситуация с концовками не понятна и не совсем очевидна. А так, геймплей прикольный, визуал приятный. Но разнообразия предметов (да и рун) хотелось бы побольше
Очень забавный рогалик пропитанный славянским духом! Если бы ещё приключенцы, которыми ты играешь были более славянского вида, а то только на арте такой витязь имеется, а в игре не понятно кто. А в целом ЛЮБО!)
Графон, конечно никакой. Хотелось бы поинтереснее. Игра затянула. На 57 часу перестала запускаться. Ендгейм контент очень скуден, т.е. его нет.
mediocre gameplay and upgrade system
