About
A long-forgotten enemy rises and brings portents of doom – the Demon King is coming, and without a champion to strike him down, the world will surely fall to his corruption. Seek out powerful weapons and artifacts by day, stand against his minions by night, and prepare to be hunted by powerful entities from ages past in this roguelite role-playing game.
Every three days, a terrifying new minion of the Demon King begins his hunt, drawn from a pool of over 30 potential bosses. Study each monster’s strengths and unique powers, and adapt your build accordingly. Explore the realm in search of the weapons and equipment best suited to defeat this powerful predator, but be wary of other fell creatures that roam the world by night. With limited time, will you opt to sharpen your blade at hidden ancient forges, pay a high price for rare trinkets from greedy merchants, or seek out mighty armor and magical shields? Choose the tools that work best against the powerful enemy that hunts you today, without sacrificing your preparedness for what comes next, overcoming the guardians of each realm until the Demon King Himself stands before you.

Pursue a multitude of strategies and synergies with over 350 items at your disposal to confront the unique challenge of each monstrous boss. When hunted by the Razorclaw Grizzly, whose fierce attacks ignore all armor, how much armor will you sacrifice for equipment that prioritizes maximum health, speed, or damage? The lesser monsters stalking the realms will wage a war of attrition against an unarmored hero, and should the Razorclaw Grizzly be slain, three days may not provide enough time to gather enough armor for the next great foe that hunts you. You may, in place of armor, find several items that enhance your speed and attack strength, allowing you to strike first and hard, vanquishing your enemy swiftly – sometimes before it’s able to strike at all. Then, if you luck upon the Saffron Feather, you’d be able to take advantage of your high speed to help regenerate wounds during battle. But should you find yourself hunted by the Black Knight, who absorbs your attack power as his own, high armor becomes a priority over raw attack strength – with the aid of Razor Scales armor to reflect damage back upon your enemy, and enchanted Ruby Earrings to inflict damage every other turn, the Black Knight would face steady damage without raw attack power to absorb for himself. But if you happen upon a powerful magical weapon, do you dare take it up, knowing it will strengthen the Black Knight for the fight ahead, but come to your aid should you survive it?
There are a plethora of options for each threat, with a variety of powerful combinations to be discovered and exploited at your disposal among the countless items, and constant tradeoffs between the near and long-term threats – with limited space in your inventory, you must choose wisely and adapt constantly.

Seek out the fallen Demon King’s crown in asynchronous multiplayer mode "Kingmaker" – the ultimate test of your strategies where your champion faces off against the powerful builds of other players – or challenge your friend to duel in real-time, exploring the world to prepare builds and face each other every three days until a victor is crowned. Plan around the equipment and abilities of these would-be heroes in the hunt for the crown, and face a constant onslaught of unique combinations and unforeseeable circumstances – how will you rise above all others?

You will face both great victories and noble defeats. Each run will contribute to your progression as you complete over 100 unique challenges that add powerful new artifacts to the pool of items available for future runs – while your first hero may not defeat the Demon King, their efforts will not be in vain.
The world descends slowly into chaos as the Demon King grows in strength – the trees wither away, the grass turns to ash, and the bogs turn putrid with the stench of death. Take on the mantle of a hero and prepare yourself – for He is Coming.

Really cool game full of the chillness that feeling tired after a long day needs. It's tough but relaxed at the same time as long as you're ok with doing the same thing again and again or making mistakes again and again. Cool art style btw, is what drove me into the game.
This is a fun game that I like to dip into every now and again. I'm awful at it but I still enjoy it so thats a good indicator.
gg!
good game, i'm coming
As an Early Access game, there's some quality of life issues that I hope get improved, and sometimes frustrating level of randomness to balance out, but it's already fun enough to get a bunch of hours into even just the first two stages that I've gone through. This is definitely my preferred style of deckbuilder roguelike.
Это истории о тех героях что не смогли одолеть главного злодея и пали в бою, и лишь не многие поднимутся на вершину, и лишь не многие по падут в зал славы короля
6/10
last opdate made it roguelike dungeon. 3 great maps with endless gameplay. yes it a bit random but that the fun sometimes you run die to randoness but sometimes the build work. so many builds and so many secret even i have not found. played on steamdeck and it works wonders. early acces too so there load to come.
Despite still being in Early Access, He is Coming has become one of my favorite games of all time. The pixel art is fantastic, the gameplay loop is addicting and incredibly deep, and the Devs are constantly improving the game and adding more content. I can't wait to see this game get all the attention it deserves.
