The battle system is good, solid strat. You gather heroes as the game goes on and fight against more guys than you have. Opponents are not wimps, but with planning it is possible to win. Controls are easy to master. Battles are turn-based, which I like.
If you like sprites, you'll be disappointed. The images are unusual, a little cartoony. In a battle, you get full screen images of the two faces snarling at one another while action takes place in the upper screen.
I got the game because I wanted another turn-based strat game and because it said that the story was humerous and a little sarcastic. I like that idea. I'm always started at battle time by the snarling faces, but over all, I'm pretty happy with the game. I'll probably play it more than once. I haven't played it all the way through yet so can't comment on final bosses.
I would recommend this game to any strat fan with a sense of humor. I would not recommend this game to anyone who wants a deep story with lots on NPC's to visit with or cities to explore and barrels/boxes/chests to click on.
Dawn of Heroes is a strategy rpg-a bit similar to Advance wars and Fire Emblem. But while those two are good games, this one is not.
First off, the story is painful. You start off in a land that has lost its heroes, and so some new heroes must be found-simple enough, but here is where it gets bad-almost as soon as you start the game a magic talking belt tells the first characters you control that they are destined to become heroes. (Seriously...a talking belt?!) The rest of the story is bland and boring-meet new people and they join the party, over and over. The dialouge between characters is also cheezy and boring, and thank goodness this game does not have voice acting.
The gameplay I feel is average. Most of the time you play, you will spend in battles-and most of these battles are very easy. Battle is controlled on the touch screen by choosing where the character will move on a battle grid and the action that will be taken in battle. On the top screen you will see the battle in 3D, which looks decent and is kind of cool to watch-but seeing the same battle moves 20x a battle gets old after a while. After a dozen or so battles, you will get bored by the repetitive gameplay. I will say though that one nice thing about the game is that there are tons of characters to choose from, and this can help keep the game fresh a bit longer.
Now on to the sound and music. I like most video game music, but Dawn of Heroes has some really bad music. Some of the pieces that are meant to sound like rock tunes/songs actually sound like a person's voice screeching out of the Ds's speakers. The actual sound effects are nothing special.
The visuals in this game are really...different. The art style of the characters looks like cheap Japanese Anime "chibi" characters crossed with the Bride of Chucky. Some people may like it, but I personally do not. As for the 3D parts of the game, it just looks ok, again nothing special.
Overall:
Pros
1. Many characters to choose from
2. Story may appeal to a younger audience
3. Nice use of touchscreen
Cons
1. VERY repetitive gameplay.
2. Horrible music
3. Cringeworthy storyline
4. Ugly, ugly, characters!
I gave the game a chance, I really did, but in the end, I really think it is not worth the money, unless you can pick it up for $10 or less...and maybe want to take a chance on this one.
First of all don't expect a serious story because you won't find it. This game is meant to be taken as a light hearted high comedy adventure that doesn't take itself seriously. I'm a 28 years old dude and for me the game is hilarious, it's got some childish humor in it but man it WORKS! I think the characters are charming, the story is funny and some of the moments are plain hilarious, specially interactions between Jiro and Reynald, two of the game's protagonists.
The gameplay is fun, nothing to write home about but FUN! Also, there are times when you have to take tatics into account an check the enemy's abbilities and how they might affect you to really plan your plays.
I've been a SRPG fan since Final Fantasy Tactics, and while this CERTAINLY isn't FFT, it has it's own charm and is a worthy addition to my collection. Pick it up! :D
Thanks Majesco!!
PS: Tell the dudes that wrote this game that THEY ROCK!! :D
PROS
Unique characters and abilities
Strategy Turn Based RPG
Random Item Drop
Party formation before each fight
NEGATIVES
3D characters (I prefer 2D art..but that is a matter of taste)
Can't turn off animation (my biggest negative...can't stand for animated battle sequence to end)
Some repetitive fighting to level up is needed.
Hidden objective is annoying (for me, others may like it)
NOT APPLICABLE
Music, I have it turned off all the time and don't care for it. Some may like it.
Conclusion
I am glad I purchased this game overall but really wish I could control the speed of the character's animation or turn them off period. It's an OK game to keep busy until something better comes along the way.
