If I had to describe Hero Siege, I'd say it's part Diablo, part tower defense, and part roguelike. You pick one of seven classes (more with DLC) ranging from your typical warrior/archer/mages to more unique classes like the pirate, nomad, and redneck. (Yes, redneck is a class.) Each has a unique skill tree that you may build as you level up. In addition, there are a nice assortment of weapons and equipment to attach to your character. Last but not least, each boss you kill typically grants a rare relic, which stack bonuses, but are lost when you die.

Speaking of death, you will die. Many many times. That's why it's a roguelite. The good news is there is quite a bit that carries over every time you die, including your level, stats/skills (minus most bonuses like relics and potions), and equipment.

Last but not least, this game is similar to a tower defense in the sense that you fight wave after wave of increasingly stronger bad guys, with a boss thrown in every 5 rounds. There are many random things that can happen between rounds to make it more interesting. These things vary from statues appearing that can grant both permanent and temporary boosts and penalties to your stats, and dungeons that you may enter for more loot/relics.

TL;DR It's a pretty fun game. A bit of Diablo, tower defense, and roguelite mashed together for a fun and addicting grindfest. Also, if you buy the DLC you can play online with other players. This may be a turnoff for some because it's a DLC-restricted feature, but at least it's an option for an extra $5.
