About This Game

Glow up Hero is a multi-hero deckbuilding roguelike.

Build a shared deck, play Ultimate cards, complete Beautify missions — and watch history’s legends transform.

Up to 4 Heroes on the Field

One shared deck for the whole party. Assign a caster when you play a card, weave in basic attacks freely — you’re commanding a squad, not a lone climber.

Beautify Is the Run-Long Payoff

Finish a hero’s Beautify mission to swap their look, power up their cards, clear debuffs, and fully heal.<br>

Beautify lasts for the rest of the run — you’re building a deck and a glamorous frontline.

Hero Workshop: An Ever-Growing Roster

Create your own heroes right in the game. Set their stats and abilities, design signature cards, and give them distinct looks before and after their glow-up. The tools are easy to use, and you can publish your creations directly to the Steam Workshop from within the game.

Subscribe to heroes made by other players and add characters from cultures and imaginations around the world to your recruitment pool. Your next teammate might be the creation of someone on the other side of the world.

Classic Roguelike Route

Fights, events, shops, elites, bosses. Gear up with equipment, heirlooms, and blessings. Die and restart — every party combo plays differently.

Combat Rhythm

3 energy per turn; draw scales with how many heroes you have.

Standard cards keep the engine running. Ultimates are once-per-fight finishers — read enemy intents and pick your moment.

Heroes From History & Myth

Sun Wukong, Xiang Yu, Guan Yu, Thor, Diaochan, Athena, Zhuge Liang… 24 heroes, each with a clear cultural signature.

Party synergy sets the pace; after Beautify, even a familiar face feels brand new.

If glamorous transforms and squad-based card play sound like your thing — wishlist now and we’ll ping you at launch.
