- Max O'Kane: Max O'Kane is a simple character armed with a gun with basic support abilities.
- Gork "Butcher" Koroser: Gork "Butcher" Koroser is a strong character you can use for tanking and opening doors.
- Nurse Deena Ratchet: Nurse Deena Ratchet is a seemingly very simple character for support and upgrades.
- Troe Pekenyo: Troe Pekenyo is a strong character with very low wit yet powerful attack.
- Opbot DV8: Opbot DV8 is a character with very high wit yet very low attack and health.
Each character comes with their own benefits, which will grow as the game develops. Current hero skills, passive skills and some options are limited, but are expected in future patches.
You'll be able to see from the hero menu on the right side the hero panel where you can see stats, choose to level up, heal, or equip items. Also you'll be able to assign skills and other traits for additional combat or building methods.
