Hero's Sword:
A basic fantasy story where a knight and his squire set out to save an abducted princess from an evil Dark Lord. Along the way, they encounter new allies and face many foes. Who is destined to wield the legendary Hero's Sword?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The game was made in four days as part of a little competition with some fellow game makers, so it isn't all that epic. That being said, the story is solid, and the game's difficulty level will definately keep you on your toes. I hope you enjoy the game!

Hero's Sword to be remade over summer.

For a side project during summer, not that I have more time on my hands, I have decided to start things fresh by remaking Hero's Sword. This new rendition of the game I promise will be better than the original in many ways. This version will have better stary and character development, a new world map and more side quests than the original. This upcoming title, which shall be titled Sword Saga ch.2 : Hero's Sword (or Sword of Legend, title is pending)can be expected to be released sometime during the summer break. I'll be working hard to get this project completed and I hope you will enjoy it.
-sincerily, SeanGrei

Thank you both for your input, and BareGamer, I do believe that for you, an "Easy Mode" would be enjoyable. Ratty, I respect your suggestion and I will look into it, thank you.

you should see the game in it's original form ... it's funny as hell and you can't even get into the town... also the game is meant to be hard so if your having trouble you should be thankful that the game is all that it should be, i mean who wants to play a game that's way too easy? all in all i have one statement to sum up your complaint ... haters gonna hate.

The only reason the game is difficult is because there is so much of a base on luck. That is just frustrating, not challenging.

You should take a look at this article. It offers a lot of points that you and the maker of this game can learn from:

Dear BareGamer
I'm sorry to hear that. I did warn that the game did in fact have an intense difficulty level, but as confirmed by my testers, the game was in fact playable. That being said, I will take your input to make an "Easy mode" for Hero's Sword. I am terribly sorry that you are only accustomed to today's RPG's, and not the classics that I grew up on. I do hope that you will find more joy in playing the 'Easy Mode" patch when it is completed. Thank you for your review :D

I don't want an easy mode. I want an enjoyable mode.

Wow I didn't know they did that. As if this game couldn't get any more annoying.

Yeah, I just started playing this today, and I am sorry to say it but this is one of the most annoying games I have ever played.

Your characters are too slow in relation to most of the enemies in the game, and the evasion of most of these baddies are too high. Battles can last for at least 10 minutes simply because the enemies keep evading attacks and/or healing themselves. To name an example: THOSE F*CKING JELLIES! The damage you do to them when you are just starting out isn't enough to KO them in one turn (not even with Sanu and Weigram ganging on one enemy in the troop) and the little punks are not only way faster than you, they keep healing, attacking, healing an ally on the enemy troop, healing, more healing, dodging, and did I mention healing!? To make it worse, you put about 5 of these per troop. Even worse? Because the speed difference is so great, it's almost impossible to run from them, so you have to endure one of the most obnoxious fights in RPG gaming history. You also need to grind in this game, too, so that was a difficult thing for me to endure without ripping hair from my head.

The skills are also pitiful as well, even as I starting to get somewhere, obtaining the bunny girl and the lycan in my party, the battles in this game still sucked. I would have liked to see my main characters get some offensive skills, especially Sanu or Kuro considering their INT stats are BETTER than their attack stats, but all I get are stat-uppers and downers. Ideally, these would useful for a game like this, but the stat decreasing spells rarely even work on most of these enemies, and there is almost no point to buffing yourself up because you can hardly hit the monsters 80% of the time!

I am still trying to complete this game, but so far, this hasn't been an enjoyable experience.


This pretty much wrapped up my review so I canceled it. I just can't play the game in this form.
