A new meaning to bullet hell, perhaps?

Working hard or hardly working?

It’s time to build your deck and upgrade your tower inHeretic’s Fork.

As a tower defence game, Heretic’s Fork is a simple one.

What you’re really building is your deck.

All structures, upgrades, and abilities are represented by cards.

If you want to boost your overall damage stats, yup, you’ll need those cards.

And if you want dropped coins to turn into bombs.

Or to improve your crafting options.

Or recover spent cards.

Or… you could build into many different directions even if you used the exact same towers.

When Ifirst wrote about Heretic’s Fork, soon after it launched, this wasn’t the case.

Then the updates started, and I haven’t stopped.

Tweaks and new cards have made it viable to mix different elements and structure types.

Other new cards have added exciting new opportunities and combos.

And new difficulty tiers to climb.

And a Christmas update is still to come.

Fun little fake desktop environment, too.

Nice little paperclip pal.

Funny and silly and grim little stories of corporate Hell flowing through your inbox.

Love a fake desktop.
