Valor of Man

thought i found a hiddern gem at first played to valor 6 so far on hardest difficulty but what ruins it for me is : - during my turn every enemy always counter attacks at least once or twice - they move when u hit them - when hero A attacks an enemy, that enemy runs and counter attacks Hero B ? wtf ?? very frustrating when 8 enemies counter hit you 16 times, then attack you twice each, when its their turn. it just make no sense to me and ruins the fun. you cant propperly plan your turn.

Do you like RPGs with great, satisfyingly fun battle systems? Would you like that battle system to have hundreds of different skills for your characters to use? Want to fight with hundreds of different items? And maybe you'd like a game you pay for to have lots of gameplay to enjoy, like you could see yourself playing it for 100 hours or more? Then you should buy this game immediately. It is easily the best game I've ever seen with less than 200 reviews. Go full price, just straight up buy the game, no questions asked, it's worth it. The only thing truly wrong with this game is that I want more of it. Modding capability, more chapters per run, more characters to play, etc. And when you love this game after playing it (which anyone appreciating an intelligent combat-focused RPG would) you should leave a review too. This game is an absolute achievement, and more people need to know about it.

One of the better games that uses the slay the spire choose a lane method of roguelite. Uses turn based combat in place of being a card battler which turns out to be quite refreshing. Worth more than its cost without being a huge standout. For example it is better than its most similar competition Rogue Waters which is also reasonably good. 8/10

This game is played in a series of runs, each run being 3 chapters that culminate in a final boss fight. It strongly channels Slay the Spire without cards...only someone seems to have said, "Let's take Slay the Spire and put it into a tactical RPG combat system." Well, it worked. This is a fresh and enjoyable take on both genres and if you enjoy either, I recommend giving this game a try (with a caveat). Your party of 4 adventurers will face 15 encounters in each chapter that culminate in a boss fight. You get to choose what type of encounter you will face (fight, merchant, event, camp), but don't know the specifics until the encounter begins. Resolving the encounter usually means a reward that feels meaningful. Whether its selecting loot, leveling your team, or simply deciding whether to risk spending money on an unknown piece of equipment, each choice you make is an impactful tradeoff that determines how your team will develop. My only grudge with this game so far, is that pacing for unlocked new characters is too slow. So far, I've beaten the game twice and I haven't unlocked a single new character yet? I'd much prefer if the game unlocked at least 1 new character after each successful run...otherwise I will lose interest long before actually unlocking these new characters. EDIT I discovered that to unlock characters you cannot play the game on Chaos mode...just play normal mode and characters unlock...wish this was explained more clearly. Upon beating the game 1 time, it unlocked 2 characters.

J'écris mon ressenti après avoir battu Valor 10, qui est le dernier chapitre à ce jour. Il faut aussi savoir que je n'ai joué au jeu qu'avec la seconde plus haute difficulté (Paragon). Valor of Man est un excellent deckbuilder rpg tactique au tour par tour, avec un minimum d'histoire pour donner du sens aux combats sans trop en faire. L'équilibre est bien maitrisé. Au cours de mes 58H sur ce jeu, je n'ai rencontré qu'un seul bug qui a été très vite corrigé dès que je l'ai signalé (en moins d'une nuit, une maj corrective fut déployé). Au niveau du graphisme, c'est assez simple mais beau. J'apprécie. L'aspect stratégique est très bien réalisé. Il fait penser à Into the Breach, on a connaissance des actions des ennemis. Valor of Man ajoute une couche d'originalité et de complexité en intégrant la mécanique de réaction. Les ennemis effectuent des actions supplémentaires lorsqu'on les attaque; il faut donc non seulement gérer les actions propre de leur tour de jeu mais aussi les actions en réaction des notres. Au début c'est frustrant mais avec l'expérience c'est ce qui donne un côte encore plus stratégique au jeu. Chaque perso possède 3 classes dont 2 sous-classes chacune, cela fait donc 6 gameplay différents par perso. A noter que les compétences liées à cette sous-classe ne sont pas restreintes à cette dernière. Lorsqu'on monte en niveau des compétences liées à toutes les classes du perso nous sont proposés, c'est juste qu'on a plus de chance d'être proposé des sorts liés à la classe et sous-classe. Il est donc possible de vraiment personnalisé le deck de son personnage selon nos envies. Le seul point que je lui reproche est que malgré la grande personnalisation de l'équipe, il est difficile de créer une synergie outre celles qui sont super évidentes. Pour moi le fun est lié au fait de réussir à créer une synergie qui n'est pas évidente. J'ai réussi à en trouver une ou deux mais j'ai la forte impression qu'il n'y en a pas assez.

Frequent player, infrequent reviewer. This game deserves honourable mention. What a great blend of roguelite elements and CRPG action. Well executed!

It's great up until the 5th run. It becomes incredible hard to win after that. One non-boss enemy wiped my team on the first level. At that point you are playing to get the perfect run. Get the right items and not run into the worst of bosses. It becomes a game of chance instead of skill, like too many of these roguelite games.

Well worth the price.. Surprisingly good pacing as it builds up abilities equipment, and difficulty.. Huge variety in gearing leads to a lot of randomness keeping the roguelike playthroughs fresh for all 10x 3 chapter runs. The difficulty ramps up very well with the power gain... always felt like every chesslike move and attack choice mattered was life or death from start to finish.. Definately am enjoyable game

Quality tactical roguelike, excellent graphics and good sound for this sort of game. If you ramp up the difficulty to max once you're used to the mechanics, it should take a long time to win. The reaction system makes it a quite different tactical experience to most turn based combat games. Downside might be limited ability to customise your party near the start, but this gets better as you unlock stuff. Surprised it doesnt have more reviews already - hidden gem!
