Slime Heroes presents an intriguing concept as a cute, "Souls-lite" game featuring a customizable slime protagonist. Players engage in top-down combat with various attacks and spells while collecting weapons and upgrades. Despite its charming aesthetics and solid gameplay ideas, the execution falls short, with the combat feeling simplistic and awkward. The game adopts familiar mechanics such as dodge mechanics and respawn points reminiscent of Dark Souls, but ultimately, the appealing visuals do not compensate for the rough gameplay experience, resulting in frustration rather than joy.
Slime Heroes combines two of my favorite things in video games: adorable slimes and Dark Souls-style gameplay. Despite some good ideas, it feels frustrating and unfinished.
In addition to light and heavy attacks for all weapons, my slime can dodge to avoid taking damage, a move that's limited by a stamina meter of sorts.
Slime Heroes adopts various concepts from games like Dark Souls, but Pancake Games comes up short on adapting them in a cute, kid-friendly setting.
The remaining ooze spells out things like 'ouch,' which is cute, but the combat feels mushy and too simplistic to remain engaging.
