Hero Seekers

I don't have high expectations for games from this publisher or developer. Accordingly, my first impressions of this game are more negative than positive. On the positive side, there's the absence of pay-to-win items and in-game shops offering items that put the party into superhero mode. Unfortunately, that's where the positives end. The story sounds nice. You build a party from heroes of the past, whom you unlock gradually. But essentially, it's still the same old tank/attacker/healer/mage combination. The flashbacks about the individual heroes' fates are nice, but they add absolutely nothing to the game, as I haven't felt any real connection to any of my party members yet. Well, and everything else is just run-of-the-mill RPG Maker. I've seen it a hundred times before (and many times better). The party travels from one location to the next, having to overcome various dungeons and forests. To unlock further progress, you have to complete certain tasks (usually a dungeon). So far, I haven't discovered any extras like hidden places. The combat is boring... I can't describe it any other way. Except for the beginning, I used the auto-fight function after that. Unfortunately, you have to grind again... to get enough gold for new equipment. In the towns and dungeons, there's a healing point that replenishes all HP/MP (no Inns). The Towns are lifeless, and there's nothing to explore. The dungeons are (so far) quite small and can be completed quickly. However, there's no map, neither on the overworld nor in the dungeons. In conclusion: If you have too much money, you can waste it here (I don't know why I keep putting myself through this... I now own over 50 games from this publisher, and only a very few are halfway decent). edit 06-17-2026 I am now over 5 hours into the game...but I can't do it any longer...This game is so BOOORING!!!! The devs didn't put any effort into making the game more believable. Everything is lifeless. And the dungeons...OMG. Nearly every 3rd step you'll encounter the same group of enemies over and over again. There is no tactical fighting. In the end it all about: have I enough potions to replenish my SP or must I run from the next 400 fights till I found the exit? Not only the boring fights...but the dungeons are looking the same, endless tube-like corridors. Don't waste money and time with this one!!!!

Before I get to the review of Hero Seekers, anyone that's ever played a Kemco game knows, they're mostly cheap decent games to scratch ur itch for turn-based JRPGs. Most of them are just decent BUT there are some that are really great games such as Blacksmith of the Sand Kingdom, Crystal Ortha, Gale of Windoria, Justice Chronicles, Legend of the Tetrarchs, and my personal favorite(Monster Viator)! Review: Hero Seekers It's actually a solid game, you play as a girl that was a hero that slayed the Demon King to find out it was all a lie, there are also a lot more Heroes in the games(You get them thru summoning using Memory Stones) that also killed the Demon King kinda like a different timeline, but it was erased, so in order to save the world, you have to recover the memories again by going on a journey, picking up some heroes along the way, fighting demons and monsters, leveling up, fighting bosses etc. Summons: They're completely random, there are probably some Heroes you'd know right away if that's who you want, there's a way to prioritize to "Rolling the Hero" but again it's all luck so it could take you till near the end of the game to get that one Hero that you really want to compliment the other Heroes you already have. Battle: Combat is turn-based, typical Kemco type combat: Attack/Skills/Magic/Item. Speed Up Combat/Auto-Combat/Run from Battles. The good news about Auto-Combat is that AI isn't that dumb actually does a decent job of choosing skills that you would want to use depending on the battle setting. Story: There's ACTUALLY a story, I know most ppl were worried it'll feel like a cut & paste story cuz it's a Kemco game, but this game plays out a lot longer than I thought it would which is always a plus. Overall score: 7.5/10 (Lowered the score due the true final boss of the game is unbeatable due to it being overpoweredly strong even with LV99 Heroes, it seems they don't want you to unlock the true ending to this game because the healing items you buy from the vendors cannot keep up with the damage you take from the final boss of the game)
