TPG writes, "Where to start? This is an immense game. I am over 9 hours into it, and barely – just barely – past the first dungeon. Yes, I said first. So, in searching around for a way to tell this tale of a review, I did not know where to start. So, as is usual for the narcissistic blogger, I'll start with me.
This being my first foray into the world of JRPGs, I faltered at first. I read no instructions (none came with the preview copy I received), I pressed buttons with abandon. I enrolled pre-made students, I created new students. I didn't choose their race, gender, or alignment with any more care than, "that looks cool." I wondered around the school a bit, then headed for the labyrinth. I figured, this is a dungeon crawling RPG, right? What could go wrong?"
"The London-based (the UK) indie games publisher PQube and Tokyo-based (Japan) video games publisher and developer Acquire, today announced with great delight and excitement that "Class of Heroes 1 & 2: Complete Edition", is coming to PC (Steam) and consoles (PS5 and the Nintendo Switch) on April 26th, 2024." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Atlus fans confined to Sony’s duo of handhelds shouldn’t feel slighted over this week’s generous eShop savings, as a mountain of sweet discounts have spilled over to the PSN store this week as well.
Agreed. 20 bucks can score you a few hundred hours of excellent gameplay with this deal.
If you're new to the series I'd start with Persona 2: Innocent Sin as it's a lot more polished and enjoyable than the original.
siliconera.com: Add ZeroDiv, makers of Class of Heroes and Hakuoki: Warriors of the Shinsengumi, to the PlayStation Vita developer list. The Tokyo based developer is the developer of Holy Sorcery Story, a RPG from Compile Heart. Mota the character designer from 7th Dragon is the character designer for Holy Sorcery Story too.
I really liked this game. STILL like it, in fact, since there's many more hours to go.
JRPGs are new for me too, I might have to try this out on my psp
I've kinda burnt myself out on JRPGs. They haven't changed significantly in the past 10 years or so. I'm not saying they're bad, just they don't offer much that's new to me. Similar stories, similar gameplay, similar time-sink, etc.
Trial by fire is never a bad thing....
