There are more evil minions and do-gooder heroes coming in future updates, but at this moment you have seven loyal minions to summon. It’s hard to find evil help these days, but an evil ruler has to make the worst of things in a pinch.

Still, we all have our favorites, but I’m curious about yours. This poll will be up until the end of the day on April 12th.

Don’t You Love To Hate Heroes?

Your minions aren’t working as hard as they should.

Some of them are sighing and seem distracted. A few are even smiling and humming to themselves. It’s…disturbing.

Ah. Right. It’s that time of the year.

Don’t your minions know that office romances never last? Especially if you were to, oh, I don’t know, send a few to the front lines.

We have a war against the forces of Good to run. We don’t have time for this mushy stuff, do we?

Well, Happy Valentine’s Day anyway. When you get back from your evil date, we should discuss tactics in the war room.

The next version has arrived.

“Stop That Hero!” v0.2.0, aka the Sound Update, is available for Windows, GNU/Linux, and GNU/Linux 64-bit.

Listen as your minions clash with the heroes in the fight between Good and Evil.

Orcs are grunting. Villagers are screaming. Slimes are…sliming.

The biggest change is the addition of sound, which brings the real-time battles to life. Every clink of treasure collected, every clash of a knight’s swords, and every cry of anguish from your vanquished foes no longer requires your imagination. And with catchy music by the talented William Riordan, this easy-to-play strategy game is even more enjoyable.

Access to 10 challenging evil levels
2 free evil bonus levels, as a thank you for your support, for even more opportunities to be evil
The ability to summon new evil minions, including hellhounds, skeletons, and zombies, perfect for overwhelming your foes
New heroes, including mountain dwarves, cunning thieves, and the valiant White Knight, all ready to challenge your evil rule
Free access to updated versions as they become available

You can try it for free by playing the demo version, which grants you access to the first five levels, five heroes to challenge you, and four evil minions to summon: orcs, warlocks, slimes, and dragons.

With easy to learn game play and quick play sessions, you can finally fit “running an evil empire” into your busy schedule.

In this series of posts, I’m revealing the concept art for the game. Bards are obnoxious heroes with a penchant for music and song.

Bards can use their magical musical instruments and songs to distract any minion with ears from doing its job. You’ll need to find a way to silence this hero.

In this series of posts, I’m revealing the concept art for the game. Ninjas are quick and powerful heroes, capable of defeating any one of your minions with a single blow.

The ninja’s greatest strengths are speed and stealth. Still, ninjas are mortal, and you’ll do well to remind them of this fact.

Giant Spider Concept Art

In this series of posts, I’m revealing the concept art for the game. While regular spiders might only get people to jump up onto chairs, giant spiders require much more formidable shelter.

Spiders are capable of creating sticky traps for heroes, preventing them from moving while your other minions are able to carry out their attacks without fear of retaliation.

In this series of posts, I’m revealing the concept art for the game. Imps are playfully demonic beings, although their pranks tend to make them lonely.

Imps love taking dangerous objects to the nearest hero as a gift. Sometimes they even survive to make another delivery.
