Set in a fantasy universe where lost souls lurk in every shadow and darkness veils sinister designs, heavy metal could be the key to salvation... or the gateway to destruction!

In addition to a cast of original characters, Eternal Descent: Heavy Metal Heroes will feature appearances and original performances from Joe Satriani, Arch Enemy, Wayne Static, Periphery, Andrew W.K., and many more rock/metal music acts appearing through regular updates. Numerous real-world instrument brands such as ESP, Jackson and Dean Guitars have endorsed Eternal Descent: Heavy Metal Heroes, allowing the game to accurately portray cameo musicians with their signature instruments for real shred guitar action!

Joe Satriani, Andrew W.K. and Misha Mansoor of Periphery will appear as heroic assists within the game, activated by unique power-up tokens appearing on screen. Following a signature entrance animation, each of the heavy metal heroes joins in with the daemon-bashing frenzy for a limited time, with each monster they take down adding to the player’s score tally.
