We wanted to let you know that Double Kick Heroes will be leaving Early Access on August 13th 😈

It’s time to jump out of the mosh-pit and into your Gundillac, Sheila, and take on the baddest of badasses and survive in this metal moshing and mayhemic post-apocalyptic nightmarish wasteland.

"Man, it’s been a long journey but we’re pumped to be finally sharing Double Kick Heroes with you all" David Elahee - Headbang Club. "We hope that you love our game as much as we do and enjoy the kick-ass soundtrack we’ve put together to celebrate all things metal. We can’t wait for people to try out air controls for Nintendo Switch which is a heap load of metallic fun, but please drum responsibly".

As well as leaving Early Access, Double Kick Heroes will launch on Nintendo Switch on August 13th, followed by a simultaneous release on Game Pass for Xbox One and PC and the Xbox and Microsoft Store on August 28th!!!

https://youtu.be/rcynIN9i3cw

If you've not been following our road through Early Access, here are some features you can expect on August 13th:

A full story mode that’s accompanied by 50 kerranging songs, including the OST Volume 2 Update, by top artists such as Ultra Vomit, Volkorx, Gorod, Jinjer, Carpenter Brut and Gojira!
Unique Rhythm shooter mashup with incredibly detailed pixel art
5 difficulty settings to test even the most metal of metal head’s skills
Tons of accessibility options
USB drum and guitar support on PC (and Xbox One)

In addition to this, we have some Nintendo Switch Joy Con Alternative Motion Control Methods prepared for launch including:

Air drumming - Joy Con used as drumsticks, keeping in rhythm of game
Air beat - Can't drum? No Problem! Stomp to the beat with your Joy Con
Want the all out motion controlled experience and really put that double kick pedal to the metal? Then it's time to use two sets of Joy Con, one in your socks and one in your hands and drum and stomp your way through the apocalypse!

We can't wait for you to get your hands on Double Kick Heroes and want to thank everyone for joining us on this journey.

Hey Zombie Killers!

Are you ready? It’s update time!

Gamescom 2019

We’re here! We made it to Gamescom and Saverio (the boss Parasite here at Troglobytes HQ) is on hand with this brand new build of HyperParasite. Everything above is ready and waiting. We can’t wait to show press, influencers and visitors what we have been working on implementing. Come and visit us in Hall 10.1 in the Entertainment Area of the Spanish Pavilion.

Release Date Update + New Price

Since we released HyperParasite on Steam Early Access, the game has received weekly updates including two complete brand new acts, developer and community gameplay streams, a shit ton of new characters, levels, mini-bosses, BIG bosses, gameplay mechanics and quality of life features. As we continue to add more and more to the game, we feel it’s now the right time to increase the price from $10.99 to $12.99. Boss Parasite Saverio released the following statement to the video game press earlier today;

“With the implementation of Act 4, we feel it’s the right time to increase the price from $10.99 to $12.99, which we feel still offers incredible value for money. If you’re at Gamescom, we’d love to show you how far our game has come along in development since our initial Early Access release!”

In addition to the pricing update, we’re also announcing that our planned full, and final, release for HyperParasite will now be Q1 2020. This gives our team the time required to complete not just the Steam build, but the Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch build too. We’ll continue to keep you updated here via the Steam store page and here on Twitter.

Some news from HELL!

A Newsletter from hell! Hey! It’s been a long time since our latest love letter… if you followed our social media, you may know why but let’s sum up the latest news! Nintendo Switch! We are so so so thrilled about that! Double Kick Heroes is coming to the Nintendo Switch! We part

A Newsletter from hell!

Hey!

It’s been a long time since our latest love letter… if you followed our social media, you may know why but let’s sum up the latest news!

Nintendo Switch!

We are so so so thrilled about that!

Double Kick Heroes is coming to the Nintendo Switch! We partnered with Nintendo to announce the game will come to this incredible console. We also revealed one of our future Hellgate’s host, the amazing GOJIRA. Controls are not finalized, we’ll make sure to test it a lot and display it in conventions so you can make your own minds.

Announcement video :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1D5tJU3CUo

Chapter 6 is coming!

We worked a lot on chapter 6, the bosses are done, the levels are ready, we are tinkering everything and polishing. The story is now complete and we are very eager to show it to you.

Spoiler : PAIN, THERE WILL BE PAIN ( stay safe and take breaks though, we love y’all! )

Hellgate pack 3

We will soon announce all the guest in the next pack, stay tuned on the social media. Let’s just say it will feature some very cool METAL from other indie video games !

Surprises

We added many surprises in the next update but a bit of spoiler never hurts :

Double grenades are now possible
Many monsters now have better behaviours
Some songs received new solos and vocals
Some fixes & framerate optimizations everywhere

The next version is still TBA but expect an update in a few weeks, we are waiting for the final vocal masters to release it.

Quality Of Life

As you may know, our ingame editor and roguelike mode are still lagging behind, feature-wise... because we had to finish the core game. It took us MUCH MUCH more time than expected...well let’s say Elmobo was super generous and the new songs are long and dense. No regret.🤘

In March when core content is finalised, we will distribute quality of life patches for these modes, no worries.

This means :

UI will be tinkered
More monsters in the editor
Better discoverability of third party songs

Chapter 6 & Final release

As you may have understood, the game will be fully released on PC after the Switch version for reasons you may guess ( otherwise don’t hesitate to come to discord, we’ll explain ).

It doesn’t mean you don’t get to try the latest chapters... In a few weeks we will open a very special Beta for you to try the full game. So no worry if you cannot wait, we got you covered with a cool solution :)

In the meantime the PC game will receive quality of life improvements and new hellgate packs.
