Heart&Slash Releasing on Steam on 9th August, 2016!

If you’ve been meaning to play Heart&Slash on PC then you finally can on August 9^th, 2016! Get your fighting-robot ready!

While big name gaming companies do release a lot of exciting titles, some independent developers also end up creating interesting gems. Heart&Slash was originally funded on Kickstarter. The original release was for the PS4 and XboxOne. It also received a warm welcome by the Steam Early Access community. Now PC players will be able to experience the game as well. It’ll officially launch on Steam on August 9^th, 2016.

“We’re beyond excited to leave Steam Early Access on such a high note. Our time there was invaluable. We got the opportunity to interact with and listen to a very passionate user base — using feedback to make Heart&Slash the game we always hoped it could be. Thank you, Kickstarter and Steam communities!” said Juan Raigada (Creative Director, aheartfulofgames).

Here’s the official synopsis for Heart&Slash:

“Take on the role of Heart, a malfunctioning robot, and fight for your identity against the monolithic QuAsSy (Quality Assurance Systems) — an evil machine obsessed with robots that look and sound the same. Meet Slash — dashing veteran of the Robolution. Can you capture Slash’s attention over several playthroughs? Fair warning: Each quest is an opportunity to woo (or anger!) the old-timer. Your choices will define the relationship between the two robots. Go for a killing blow, and you might end the relationship before it even begins. Choose love, and victory could slip through your mechanical fingers …”
