Build Your Companion

The DO66-0 Modular Companion Unit (or just "Doggo") is a Hero Deck with a bunch of modules to streamline your One-Hit Heroes adventure!

...But what does DO66-0 look like? 

Our friend and Episode 3 artist Zachary Whistle has drafted three versions of our fearless friend, and we want you to pick which pup will support and love you around the world!

Starting NOW, and running until April 24, it's your turn to vote on DO66-0's art! Write a comment to share your thoughts on which backstory you'd like for DO66-0: Scrappy, Stoic or Playful?

You can vote on Doggo's design and backstory whether or not you've added it as an add-on. 

Regardless of the backstory you choose, Doggo will come with three modules to pick from when you play. You can add DO66-0 into any fight using one of the following:

• FOLLOW: This mode streamlines your Solo Mode play by letting you focus on playing and upgrading your favorite Hero. You'll unlock passive upgrades between fights that can fill in for your Hero's natural weaknesses or further boost your strengths. One-Hit Heroes works well with multihand play, but this will truly give the feeling of solo play - and make some previously impossible builds become possible!
• BOOST: This mode gives you access to some powerful passives and moves that help you edge out a win against the most difficult fights. If you've made a mistake in deckbuilding, you're struggling against a boss fight, or you just want a more relaxing gameplay experience, the BOOST module has your back.
• PLAY: This mode lets a player sit down with Doggo as a Beginner-level Hero, so younger Heroes or anyone new to board games can join the fun without feeling overwhelmed.

Which backstory+design should your Doggo have? If you include why, your vote will be counted twice!

Talk to you soon,

To both our new and returning backers, thank you! We knew we could count on you, but it’s still humbling to see so much support coming this way. It means a lot to have you here with us, either as a new ally or an old friend. We’re glad to have you aboard!

Stay tuned: soon we’ll start working together to assemble our Companion Hero, the DO66-0 Modular Companion Unit (“Doggo”)!

It was fun daydreaming about a game where you took on bosses despite having 1 HP. Actually creating this game, however, was far more challenging than we expected. Making battles work with 1 HP requires a very particular design, and it took us dozens of iterations to learn what worked and what didn't.

In fact, on multiple occasions we had to seriously ask if we wanted to give up on the One-Hit theme and just give everyone 3 HP. But "Very Cool Heroes" doesn't have the same ring, and more importantly, it wasn't the dream that inspired us to make this game in the first place. 

That's why, after more than 3 years of development, it's not only exhilarating to have found something that works, but heartwarming to see that you find our funny concept just as cool as we do. Thank you!

A question for you: we'd like to get to know what kind of player you are! Which of these Heroes are you drawn to the most, and what is it about that Hero that intrigues you?

Thank you once more for joining forces with us for this Kickstarter journey. We couldn’t have done this without you!
