Hero Core is a simple action game by Daniel Remar, the maker of Iji, featuring non-linear exploration and retro-influenced visuals and soundtrack. As Flip Hero, you infiltrate the base of the machine warlord Cruiser Tetron in an attempt to put an end to his reign of tyranny once and for all. This game is actually a sequel to a game called Hero, but it's not necessary to play the first game before you play this one. I myself have not done so. And from what I've heard this is the better game in any case.

Of particular note are the "Hard" difficulty setting, which is actually a re-arranged version of the game a la The Legend of Zelda's "second quest", and the highly amusing Retro language setting. Fight door explode. This fight door will always be explode.
