With just seven days left to go on it’s Kickstarter journey, Heart and Slash has slain the beast known as the cash goal. Now all the extra money raised can go into some cool stretch goals the team has laid out.
The team at aheartfulofgames is playing these stretch goals smart, no golden cows or life sized busts of the main characters, they have put in place goals gamer’s actually want. Right now they are an Endless Dungeon, Extra Localization, Alternate Bosses, more NPCs and Questions, Co-op Mode (YES!) and a free DLC episode.
I’m really hoping they get a huge push at make their 40k co-op stretch goal. Who doesn’t want to see two robots go crazing hacking and slashing up enemies in an endless dungeon, if you said no, you have no soul! Heart and Slash ends it’s Kickstarter run March 19th 2014 and for just $10 you get a copy of the game.

PRESS RELEASE
HEART&SLASH IS BACKED AND STRETCH GOALS ARE REVEALED
The “Super Mario 64 of roguelikes” * is funded! Developers seek further capital to create the ultimate 3D brawler
11TH MARCH 2014: Backers have helped Heart&Slash to reach its primary funding goal on Kickstarter. Having carefully considered feedback from the gaming community, the developers have launched a series of stretch goals that, if reached, will make the game even better.
Kickstarter page here: kck.st/1gQbLBl
New stretch goals revealed include:
ENDLESS DUNGEON – A quick alternate mode of playing. No story and faster enemy level grow. How deep can you reach into the Endless Dungeon? Scoreboards are included.
ALTERNATE BOSSES – The game will ship with three bosses. Shall we hit this goal, we’ll add three new bosses that will randomly substitute the original ones, so you never know what’s coming.
NPCs + QUESTS – The main NPC and Quest giver is Slash. But if we hit this goal, we’ll add three more NPCs with their associated multi-playthrough quests (and special unlocks at the end of those quests).
CO-OP – Asymmetric Local co-op mode. Play as Heart’s robotic pet as you fight together to escape Quassy’s minions. Sadly, there won’t be online support at this level.
FREE DLC EPISODE – Play as Slash in this Epilogue that will be free for backers shall we reach this goal! Will you see the True Ending?
About Heart&Slash
Heart&Slash is set in the distant future. Humans are long gone and all that remains are machines, working through the motions programmed by their masters many ages ago. The sole priority of the machines is to ensure everything complies with the obscure standardisation protocol, under the supervision of the all-seeing robot leader, Quality Assurance System (QuAsSy).
But not all robots are the same. Maybe as a result of faulty wiring, there are some willing to stand up, resist conformity and find their identity. Malfunctioning robot and protagonist, Heart, embarks on a quest to find its identity and, ultimately, love.
Heart&Slash Playable Demo
The playable demo of Heart&Slash is free to download from the Kickstarter page ( http://kck.st/1gQbLBl). The game is at an early alpha stage and gives the player a good idea of the style, gameplay, enemies and mechanisms.
Heart&Slash is also on Steam Greenlight: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=219047383
