False Hero

<h1>Note from the dev</h1>False Hero is a solo dev game, retro-styled, fast-paced soulslike adventure with a unique combat system. The game focuses on challenging fights, skill mastery, and atmosphere rather than gear management, leveling, or grinding.As a lifelong fan of Souls-like and adventure games, I tried to create my own take, looking more into the genre's old-school roots. Everything, from the art and code to the music, has been handcrafted by me with care and attention to detail. No AI was used in the development process.Over 6 years of development, I've poured my heart and soul into this game, and I truly hope you'll enjoy it! <h1>About the Demo</h1>In a realm where the gods of life reign, Death starts to spread. It is foretold that you, a husk of a once-diligent scholar, will find a legendary mask and slay this eldritch evil. In the mountaintop kingdom of Wisdom, a prophecy begins to unfold, but it is your decision to fight for the gods and fulfill the prophecy or to become an apostle of Death.<h2 class="bb_tag" >Fast-paced combat</h2> Evade enemy attacks, chain together your learned combat arts into unique combos, and channel the power of gods to crush your enemies! <video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4702340/extras/51c7ce118e7085e024c5e8cbc10f7991.poster.avif?t=1781203899" width=1170 height=488 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4702340/extras/51c7ce118e7085e024c5e8cbc10f7991.webm?t=1781203899" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4702340/extras/51c7ce118e7085e024c5e8cbc10f7991.mp4?t=1781203899" type="video/mp4"></video><h2 class="bb_tag" >Copy your enemies' attacks</h2>Your mask grants you the ability to steal your enemies' combat skills.Learn unique attacks from each enemy you kill, and grow your arsenal of dozens of deadly combat arts.<video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4702340/extras/c469ca36bb457ef5effbef486e8ac0e1.poster.avif?t=1781203899" width=1170 height=488 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4702340/extras/c469ca36bb457ef5effbef486e8ac0e1.webm?t=1781203899" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4702340/extras/c469ca36bb457ef5effbef486e8ac0e1.mp4?t=1781203899" type="video/mp4"></video><h2 class="bb_tag" >Challenging boss fights</h2>The boss fights will truly put your fighting skills to the test.
