Majesco released new screenshots of Dawn of Heroes for the Nintendo DS.
Admiring Dawn of Heroes from a distance is fairly easy, as it does some different things and carves a distinct identify out for itself. It frequently plays more like a puzzle game than a tactical game, however, with large doses of luck being required to come through some encounters. The bothersome interface aspects ensure that playing the game is more a chore than entertaining, relegating it to the status of yet another disappointing DS game.
GameDynamo says, "After a number of delays and a small but vocal community left wondering if Dawn of Heroes had become vaporware, the long-awaited strategy role-playing game (SRPG) finally surfaces on Nintendo DS. Was it worth the wait?"
CheatCC says, "All in all, Dawn of Heroes is a fun game with a lot to offer gamers on the handheld platform. Tactical RPGs aren’t abundant and ones that are both fun and have character are even less common. The game certainly isn’t perfect; combat can get repetitive at times and battles take longer than it seems they should, but it is hardly enough to distract from the overall fun factor it offers."
