Hooded Horse and developer Chronocle have introduced their dark-themed rogue-like auto-battle game, He is Coming , into Steam Early Access and PC Game Pass Today, available at release with a 35% off offer through July 31 — priced at $9.74 (US) or the corresponding amount in your area.
Gamers start off with just a sharp stick and a desire for danger in a mysterious, constantly changing world split between two unsettling environments. During the day, you can gather items and get ready, but when darkness sets in, visibility drops and creatures relentlessly chase down those who remain. On every third day, one of over 30 strong bosses—eventually including the Demon King—will emerge, determined to bring your journey to an end.
At the core of the gameplay is its item-filled rogue-like structure: more than 350 distinct objects, randomly generated setups, and lasting progressions ensure every failure has significance. Obtained equipment and improvements boost your subsequent tries, providing infinite repeat value.
He is Coming introduces an engaging non-synchronous element: survivors have the opportunity to rise up as "villains" in different players' experiences, generating their own character setups within the game environment to test others—receiving titles and incentives along the way.
The Early Access phase will keep growing with additional content such as new items, monsters, environments, and increasing levels of difficulty — leading up to a ultimate battle against the Demon King. Additionally, the game will be available in 15 languages, covering prominent European and Asian dialects.
He is Coming merges tactical complexity, intense roguelike mechanics, and a fierce competitive edge into an engaging experience. Featuring a demanding skill progression, high-stakes day-and-night phases, and the risk of permanent death, it offers an exhilarating test for enthusiasts of grimdark auto-battle games—you either conquer it or fall to its demands.
