About Hero Concept

Also known as “Sensational video game company,” Founded in 2017, Hero Concept is a multi-platform and multi-genre video game development studio based in the heart of Istanbul.

At Hero Concept, we develop visionary reimaginations of the timeless classics of arcade gaming. We are ardent students of games, and we study the histories of the ever-present classics to carry them into the 21st century–with panache.

We do this in an impossibly lean manner: with a tight-knit team, low overhead, and budgets that defy the norms of the industry. We release on all major platforms and care for our community of players.

We enjoy developing new skill sets as we venture into new genres and audiences. We aim to make every next game deeper and grander than the previous one while creating more inventive, immersive, and memorable worlds within them.

Our first three games, Doughlings: Arcade, Doughlings: Invasion, and Mayhem Brawler, are available for Steam, PlayStation 4|5, Xbox One|Series X, and Nintendo Switch platforms worldwide.

We are developing our fourth game, Mayhem Brawler II: Best of Both Worlds. It will be available worldwide on Steam, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One/Series X, and Nintendo Switch platforms.
