    A PC port of co-op arcade game. The gameplay of the game is almost same as Overcooked. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1415025484 You need to protect the house using cannons. To perform a strike with it, you need to 1) take resource №1 2) move it to workshop 3) make powder 4) bring to the cannon 5) take resource №2, 6) bring it to a furnace, 7) make resource №3, 8) take it to a workshop, 9) make a shell, 10) bring it to a cannon, 11) Make a shot, 12) clean a cannon.....…

    If you're looking for a really fun, light hearted, addictive co-op game to play with three more friends, No Heroes Here is the one game to try out. Its mechanics are eazy to learn/difficult to master, and the 8-bit graphics and music complete the frenetic tower-defense experience. Do not forget to setup your Discord/Skype/phone or whatever means of communication - the more advanced levels really need high coordination to complete!

    No Heroes Here is a TRUE co-operative experience that's rarely seen. Like another great example, "Overcooked", this game has perfectly captured the essence of co-operative play, and player co-ordination to achieve victory. Unlike most co-op games, trying to "be the best guy" doesn't fly here. You'll work together, running around the castle interior, creating cannonballs, powder, honey traps, and shooting enemy troops with cannons. It's a LOT of fun, and I would say a must buy for anyone who…

    I picked up this game because my gf and I greatly enjoyed Overcooked, and because my online group really wanted to try it but couldn't (only 1 other friend from that group is local). We beat the game with two players about two weeks ago, and earlier tonight with four. Absolutely loved it both times. I've seen a lot of people saying that the game is impossible with two players, but as mentioned above, I can say firsthand that is provably false. (Both my groups got stuck for a while on a the…

    I talked three of my friends into getting this so we could play a nice fun multiplayer game. One of us switched his control scheme to controller, which first: did not pick up his controller, and second: disabled the keyboard. So he was literally unable to do anything else in the game. Uninstall/reinstall did not fix, deleting config files did not fix, so he refunded the game. While we were waiting on him, we noticed that WHILE IN THE LOBBY this game was taking up over 50% of our CPUs, and…

    Not a huge fan of tower defense type games but this one changed the way how I felt, not clearly sure how you could manage to solo at higher difficulty but playing with 3 of your friends makes this really exciting. Couldn't stop playing, got so late into the night and needed to sleep for work but I just can't close the game. This is the best $1.69 CDN I ever spent besides Terraria, highly recommend to pick this up with your 3 other friends and sadly wished they had a 4 player bundle, would be…

    (**NOTE**) (I played more of this game before I got the Steam key for review) Quick and simple post.... This game thrives in co-op mode, yes! you can play it alone but it is so freaking tough to get to all points of the castle. Again...this game is a co-op game at it's heart, I really can't recommend it for only single player. But..! grab a few buddies and boy oh boy, it's on.! It gets crazy in the later levels but in a good way. It's also great to have both online and couch co-op, i've…

    While it's a fairly simple game, both graphically and in terms of gameplay, No Heroes Here offers a great party experience. If you like games of coordination and teamwork, this is a worthy addition. If you like games like "Overcooked" or "Think of the Children", then you are likely to also enjoy this one. A castle dominates the center of the screen, where the players can move about, performing important defensive functions to prevent the castle from being overrun by attackers. For example,…

    I'm really enjoying this game. My wife and I played the first world together. She went to sleep and I kept playing solo. When I realized, it was already morning and I had to go to work. It's a fun couch co-op game to play with a lot of people, like overcooked and lovers in a dangerous spacetime. The single player mode is really challenging, in a very positive way! Oh, and just a tip: Get some controllers. The keyboard is far from ideal.

    I feel like there is something off about this game but I don't know exactly what... Overall, it is a coop game with a style very similar to overcooked. Unfortunately, I couldn't enjoy this game that much. The levels are repetitive and the level design is not good. I feel that there is something missing... that with more work they could've reached a good polishing level game design wise. Also... we are in 2018 and people still design characters such as the princess one... And if anyone claims…

    A good idea meets poor implementation: the whole coop experienced is based on frustration and repeatability. Game mechanics are trivial, and change only once per couple of hours, In between it's just pushing right buttons for few minutes. Missed that jump or loaded a gun with a wrong ammo because of the terrible controls? Too bad, start all over. If you're looking for a coach game for players with different skill cap, choose a different title: the only good thing about that game is a cute 8-bit…

    Lots of fun, had a good laughter or a dozen with my friend. However, we gave up on level 7 or something like that. Either the difficulty is set up for a full party, or we're retarded. Probably the latter. Nevertheless, I think the game requires an "easy" mode, or the difficulty should be tweaked when there are less than 4 players. Still, almost passed out a few times due to intense laughter.

    I've had the pleasure of beta testing this game back in March and was pleasantly surprised to see the developers improved on the already great game I had tried. It's a very chaotic and challenging co-op party game, very much akin to Overcooked. If you enjoy that game, make sure to give this a try. The development build I played before release didn't have a single-player mode. I haven't played much of it but it seems pretty well balanced. I can't wait to get three other friends together to…

    5/5 highly recommended for family-friendy 4-player couch (local) co-op gaming. I was able to play this with my daughters (6 & 7 y/o) and have a great time. It's a hard to find such games because as a gamer father, you want to have fun as well as your children too at young ages. Other such games we were able to enjoy were Castle Crashers, which we have played over and over, and Overcooked. I suppose one experienced gamer such as myself can carry and hope your teammates will learn. You'll need…

    6.5/10 No Heroes Here might best be described as a 2D tower defense game. You have a stronghold that you must defend from the approaching hordes. Your only defenses are your cannons, and each map/stronghold has different cannon placement. However, you can load your cannons with more than just cannonballs - there are honey shots that slow enemies down, water shots that can freeze enemies in the colder maps, and chickens that are cooked when shot, making a delicious dinner that enemies cannot…

    This is a great addition for those looking for a couch co-op game. Looking through the updates, I unfortunately got it after the re-balancing for two players - this game is fairly easy once you get into it. This game puts team coordination to a good test much like how Overcooked does, and as others have mentioned. The different mechanics introduced as you progress through the different areas are intriguing and well-designed. The difficulty scales at a good pace. However, that said, with two…

    This is the best local-coop game I've played in a long time. Coop games usually don't require this much colaboration and coordination in order to win each round, and most levels are insane fast. Gathering 4 people to play this is garanteed fun.

    No Heroes Here is that perfect option to gather friends in a light and fun gameplay with the potential to generate good laughs. The beautiful and smooth pixel art gives the comic and fun tone of this tower defense very well structured, fluid, and with very interesting stages. The ideal here is to get more people for the team, especially if you play in 4 players, as the stages go by, this vertical tower defense becomes chaotic, and holding out alone is no longer possible.

    I gave "No Heroes Here" a try after searching for a coop game that me and my friends could play remotely and also locally. Game mechanics are simple but fun - in a nutshell, time is spent crafting ammunition, firing and reloading cannons on wave after wave of enemies. I found the early levels to be quite easy (I played this game with 3 friends), but as the game progresses and some new mechanics are introduced, each level finished gives you a true sense of accomplishment and even relief.

    A very fun an inexpensive game to play with your friends and family. I played both online and offline and had a blast. Some mechanics are not obvious, so you need to experiment and learn. I've run into a problem that i have only 1 controller and wanted to play with my sister and my brother in law. The workaround was simulatin a virutal keyboard, this way two could play on one keyboard and the other on the controller.
