Herodes is an exhilarating shoot 'em up game set in a future where cutting-edge technology meets the depths of the human body. Step into the role of a courageous agent tasked with the ultimate mission: saving humanity from a mysterious and deadly virus that defies all known cures. This is Herodes.

Herodes takes place in the not-too-distant future, where medicine and technology have evolved to such an extent that the C.L.R.T. (Cell Level Reduction Technology) could be created. Diseases have been eradicated - there is no virus that can't be defeated. Until a mysterious new virus arrives and threatens the survival of the entire human race. It can't be defeated by any known treatment, no pill can stop it - which leaves only one alternative available: eradicating it through force. Inside an atomic-powered vehicle, you'll be shrunken to the cellular level and inserted into the bowels of Patient Zero to hunt down and destroy this virus.


You'll explore the human body in a way you've never done before, rendered in incredible pixel art graphics. You'll fight and defeat diverse enemies through fluid, shoot'em up-style gameplay. Herodes also boasts a beautiful and unique soundtrack that makes the experience even more impressive and immersive.
