Featuring a vibrant hand-drawn art style inspired by The Simpsons and Rick and Morty, Ground Zero Hero challenges players to explore a post-apocalyptic wasteland as they face off against massive hordes of marauding mutants.Kill mutants, pummel piñatas, crunch candy.
Absorb their remains. Mutate into something stronger every run. Stack insane power combos and survive overwhelming hordes in this fast, chaotic, highly replayable action roguelite bullet hell.
Forget surviving the apocalypse. You’re here to dominate it.
Ground Zero Hero drops you into a radioactive wasteland overrun with mutated creatures. Every enemy you destroy becomes fuel for your evolution. Absorb their remains, stack mutations, and build increasingly powerful and unpredictable combinations until you become an unstoppable force.
Each run is a new experiment. Each build is a new monster.
Fast, chaotic, and endlessly replayable, Ground Zero Hero blends bullet hell combat, roguelite progression, and survival mechanics into one addictive loop where every decision shapes your path to power.
Available now, the demo drops players into the game’s first wasteland, DoomsdayDesert, offering a taste of the chaos to come. Players can experiment with 14 of the game’s 19 total mutations, beginning with five and unlocking nine more as they progress. Each mutation also features a wild “bonkers” form that can be discovered within the demo, giving players an early look at the game’s most unhinged power-ups. Best of all, all progress made in the demo carries over to the full release.
To celebrate the demo’s launch, Acclaim, Inc. has released a new trailer, showcasing the over-the-top action, insane mutations, and cartoonish chaos that await players.
