Hi there, Xbox Wire readers — do you have what it takes to become a hero? Today, we at Whitethorn Games are here to help you do just that in 3D action-adventure Slime Heroes — available now on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One!
In Slime Heroes you’ll take on the role of a slime, the unlikely hero who must save the world from a mysterious corruption. You’ll embark on a journey to explore the expansive 3D world — alone or with a friend — where you’ll encounter ferocious enemies, challenging but approachable puzzles, and uncover lost treasures. As you battle your way through the many obstacles in your path, you’ll gain magical skills that you can dynamically combine to create unique and powerful magic attacks that can take down even the most corrupt minions and bosses. You’ll discover a touching story of overcoming expectations, friendship, and forgiveness as you progress because even slimes can be heroes!
Now, this is quite the challenge for a small slime, so we’re here with a quick start guide to help your slime become the hero they were meant to be.
Explore a Stunning Open World
Dive into an open world that features six distinct regions filled with hidden secrets that will help you through your journey. As you explore off the beaten path, the world will open up, revealing hidden areas and barriers to unlock that will allow you to return to previously explored areas more easily.
You’ll also discover secret puzzle and challenge rooms, and challenging boss dungeons. While the rooms are completely optional to visit, by entering them and completing their challenges, you’ll gain some very helpful items to help you on your quest to save the world.
And be sure to search areas thoroughly, as there are many hidden items to be found throughout the world. From hats that give your slime powerful buffs to potent magical skills to big deposits of shards to help level up your slime, you’ll never know what you’ll find high up on a slightly out-of-view ledge or a crumbled-looking wall! Returning to previously-explored areas can fetch you some great items too, as the new powers you gain will help you reach even more secret areas.
Take Your Slime to The Next Level
Very early on, you’ll meet Orion, who will need a little help from you! They will provide you with a place where you can save your progress and recover your health. They’ll also help you level up your slime — for a price. As you defeat enemies, you’ll collect shards that you can exchange there to boost your slime’s health, strength, magic, and speed. Be sure to return frequently to Orion’s spot to cash in your shards and gain that extra bit of power.
Now, what about increasing your health bar? That’s where those puzzle and battle rooms come in! The archaeologist, Pazmut, waiting outside is also eager to help you save the world. By defeating these rooms and returning tomes to them, you can earn extra hearts to increase your health bar.
Orion can also help you figure out your best build. Visit them to check out the practice arena, where you can test out new weapons and hat combinations, as well as different skill combinations so that you can perfect the build that fits your playstyle perfectly.
Become the Ultimate Magic User
The world of Slime Heroes is full of magic, and even a small slime can become a powerful mage. As you defeat enemies, you’ll collect special skills associated with that enemy’s attack: powerful projectiles, twirling tornados, and more with a total of 18 skills to find. Take full advantage of these skills by combining them in your primary and secondary skill slots to create new, powerful skills. Placing two of the same skill in each slot makes that skill more powerful but consumes more MP. Combining two skills will create a new power, while swapping the skill into different slots will create a new power.
You can also find elemental skills to add to your basic skill combinations that will provide an added punch to your magic attacks. As well, earn powerful ultimate skills by defeating boss dungeons, and equip them in your ultimate skill slot. With ten elemental attacks and seven ultimate attacks to collect and combine with your skills you’ll be able to magically defeat any enemy.
Skills can be changed up on the fly at any time, allowing you to adapt to any challenge with ease. There are thousands of skill combinations you can make, so keep mixing and matching until you find the ones that best suit your play style.
Gear up with Weapons and Equipment
Slime Heroes has a variety of weapons and equipment earned by defeating bosses as you progress in the game. Each weapon comes with its own set of stats, so experiment a bit in the practice arena to figure out which ones best suit your play style and combat situation.
As for equipment, what works better for a slime than a jaunty hat? Like weapons, each hat comes with its own set of stats, from stat bonuses to bonus skills. And like skills and weapons, you can change them up at any time — even during battle — so you never have to sacrifice fashion over function.
Call in a Friend
While you can play Slime Heroes alone, saving the world is a big job for a little slime. It’s always more fun to play with a friend! Invite a friend to play at any time. With both couch co-op and online multiplayer, you can team up and tackle it together to take down the vicious enemy in no time flat!
A Game for Anyone
Making sure games can be played by anyone, regardless of ability, skill, or experience with the genre is a value shared by Whitethorn Games and Pancake Games. Because of this, the team has put a lot of effort into making Slime Heroes as accessible as possible. You can explore them in the settings menu once you start your game. Some of these include multiple difficulty settings including sliders to increase or decrease enemy, world, or player damage, and puzzle timing, visual accessibility features to adjust cursor size and colour, character outline and a guiding arrow, button remapping, disabling flash effects, and more.
We hope these tips will help you on your journey to save the world in Slime Heroes. Don’t forget to pick up your copy on Xbox Series X|S or Xbox One today to discover even more as you save the Guardians and save the world!
