While easy to skip with a simple ESC push, it can get tiresome. It can be, however, annoying as the story characters pop up at the start of every instance. In between instances, there’s also a cute comic style loading screen to give new players tips. The voice overs when present are the originals with English subtitles. For those willing to take the time to read it during instances will enjoy learning the backstory of the game and the characters. Take him or her down and get lots of coins, gear, boost potions and more. Bosses, as expected come with boatloads of shields, health and mitigation to keep things exciting. It’s easy to rack up kill streaks because the baddies pile on in massive numbers in increasingly dense waves with mini-bosses thrown in to keep things exciting. The more players in the instance, the tougher and more numerous the monsters.
Players can join an instance either solo or in a group (with friends or with random players).
There’s nothing like seeing Jerry drop a huge tire on a boss and then pound it with her bat to get your attention! For a fast-paced combat game, HeroWarz shines in the visceral nature of its combat, both in terms of feeling like characters are really making an impact on an enemy and in the awesome effects.
I ran into very few bugs and was only plagued by random lag spikes on occasion. All three were a lot of fun and, even though two were melee, they felt entirely different.Ĭombat is smooth and responsive. I mainly used melee combatants Mary and Jerry and ranged sniper, Audrey. Even ranged players have abilities that can do some serious damage when in close range.Īll characters are open to all players and they level separately from one another rather than in a collective pool. Different keys can be combined to create a different move that can be ranged, an AoE ability, or take the player up close and personal. While skill progression is very linear, the skills make sense and are quite different from one another. Each of the available characters has its own combat style and feel.įolks who love combo-based fighting games will truly love HeroWarz. Looking pretty much the same as every other character could be seen as a detriment to the game but that initial pout is replaced by the utterly unique way each character plays. Customization comes in the form of costumes and gear rewarded through game play or purchased in the cash shop. As expected, all characters are gender locked and look exactly the same as all others of the same type at the onset. On the female side, there’s the cherubic (but deadly!) youngster, the tough-as-nails fighter, the sexy dominatrix and the slightly insane gothic girl. As with many anime-styled games, there is the hulking bruiser, the angsty pretty boy and the brooding bad boy. There are several each of male and female characters. Like many dungeon crawlers, HeroWarz players choose from one of seven characters rather than making one of their own. In addition, while technically considered a 3D game, it feels more like a 2.5D game and it suits it very well. By this, HW is instance-based with an isometric viewpoint and features an anime art style. Players first stepping foot into the game will immediately recognize HeroWarz’ similarity to other dungeon crawlers such as Dungeon Fighter and its KOG predecessor, Elsword. For those who do not know, KOG Games is the publisher of the very popular Elsword and HeroWarz is the company’s second foray into the North American market. HeroWarz was developed by A-Storm and is published on this side of the world by KOG Games.
