Considering all the mystery surrounding the title, RPGamer decided to take the opportunity to do a little detective work to unravel more details about this upcoming Nintendo DS title. With the help Yves Bordeleau and Bruno Parenteau from Wicked Studios, Dawn of Heroes will seem like less of mystery, and perhaps something to look forward to.
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."
