Hero of Many

Hero of Many is an independent video game developed by Trickster Arts.

Hero of Many was inspired by the games Another World, Heart of Darkness and Abe's Oddysee.

The game takes place during a period of genocide on the white fish committed by the black ones.

The hero narrowly escapes death when his escort is attacked by black fish.

They continue together but they soon come across Black, who easily defeats Hero, who is unconscious, falling to the depth.

During the search Hero is attacked by the Earth Dragon and almost dies but is saved by Red Queen who shows up at the last moment.

Together they get to the center of the kingdom where the Red Queen gains new power so they launch an attack which pushes the black fish from a local nest.

Hero has to escape but is able to gather enough forces to attack enemy positions in Grey World.

It turns bad when he comes into contact with the black mass while saving the life of the Red Queen for whom he sacrifices himself.

Hero becomes stronger than ever and starts to gather a strong swarm for the final battle.

Hero, now exhausted from the darkness he absorbed, leaves the lighthouse and lies on the ground.

Multiple lights of energy are coming from his body and the Red Queen takes them.

The game was in development since summer 2012 when Matouš Ježek left 2K Czech.

[10][11] When the game was greenlit, developers started to work on a port for Windows.

The main focus was to adjust the controls so the game experience was as good as for touchscreen platforms.

On 4 April, the game was number 59 on Steam Greenlight as Trickster Arts announced on Twitter.

The soundtrack received much praise, and fans of the game asked Trickster Arts to provide it for download.

The album also included bonus tracks that were cut from the final game.
