Heroic is an Open Source Games Launcher. Right now it supports launching games from the Epic Games Store using Legendary, GOG Games using our custom implementation with gogdl and Amazon Games using Nile.
Main Features:
- Have access to your Epic, GOG and Amazon Games in a intuitive User Interface.
- Add Games outside GOG, Amazon or Epic Games Store native or not. Even Browser apps are supported
- A Download queue to download multiple games at once.
- Install and launch your Windows Games using Wine or Proton. Or Launch your Native GOG Games.
- Cloud Saves support for GOG and Epic Games.
- Import Games installed through the Epic Store or GOG Galaxy.
- Verify and Repair corrupted installations or even move your installation to different folders.
- Access the Epic and GOG store and also Heroic Wiki directly from the App.
- Check HowLongtoBeat database to see how long it will take to finish a game. And also check the Metacritic, IGCB or OpenCritc score for the game.
- And many more features
Current Limitations on the Flatpak:
- Heroic will not find or use Wine and Proton Flatpak versions. At least for now.
- For now would be better to use the Built-in Wine Manager to download and install Wine and Proton Versions.
- It should find Proton from the Steam folder for both Steam Flatpak and non-Flatpak if they are on installed on the library inside your $HOME folder
- Heroic cannot access /usr/bin so it won't be able to find any wine or proton isntalled there for now.

Perfect tool to centralize all these launchers and services. Includes different versions of compatibility tools for games made for Windows.
Had to find some answers on the Heroic Games Discord to get things running properly, but now I've been able to launch 90% of the games I've tried. Some of the games that didn't launch through Heroic, work when launching them from Steam as a non-steam game.
Worked for a while then when i tried to play ARK on epic it kept loading until the ram was full and crashed. Can't play again..
I love the way the software actually looks. It feels modern and all of the options *should* make it a great solution. Unfortunately, every time I try this software, and I have tried it multiple times over the last year -- something is broken. When I check on the bugs, these things take quite some time to fix. The problem is, these bugs are not minor annoyances but usually break the functionality of the software. The most recent bug doesnt allow all of the GOG library to load and many show as uninstallable. I got tired of fighting with this and just use bottles for GOG now.
Excelente lançador de jogos. Graças a ele eu consegui jogar exclusivos da Epic Games com muita facilidade. Também é notável que teve uma excelente evolução no último ano. Parabéns aos envolvidos no projeto!
Heroic made installing games like Genshin Impact very easy. Better then the official epic launcher.
First time used third party for other game stores worked nicely for me
I'm sure I'm missing something but I couldn't run custom games and then I noticed the logs were telling me that the executable of the game could not find required data files. There is no "Working Directory" setting on heroic (like Lutris has). I couldn't get it to work. Then I downloaded AppImage version instead of Flatpak, which works perfectly.
Parabéns ao desenvolvedor que fez essa ferramenta. Mudou minha vida no Linux, agora posso jogar a maior parte dos meus jogos de maneira fácil. Graças a ele eu dou adeus ao Dual Boot
