## About Us

We are a small group of Finnish independent game developers who aim to make and publish the kind
of awesome games we would have loved to play in our childhood, spiced with old school pixel art
and the retro spirit!

Panic Art Studios' journey started in 2011 with some fun and small mobile game development. As
Hero Siege - our flagship Hack 'n' Slash game - started to become much more than a mobile game it
grew our team from hobbyist to professional developers, artists and designers over the past decade.
