Hero’s Adventure, a Wuxia RPG Ported from PC
Did a quick search and I couldn’t find a mention of this game since it’s mobile release. For a forum of people clamouring for full game experiences with no MTX it’s a damn shame.
Full disclosure before I get into how great this game is, the translation varies between fine and completely unintelligible. The only time it really rears its head is in the quests that require you to solve a puzzle or riddle. Look up a guide, as far as I can tell there’s a lot of Chinese puns that are pretty easy in mandarin but absolute nonsense translated to English.
With that out of the way, this is one of the most content packed games I’ve ever played. At its core it’s an RPG, you can grind for more levels but you also gain hefty bonuses from skills you can equip. These skills you can buy at an auction, find or receive from quests. You can also butter up the NPCs to join your party and learn their skills. The top level skills are locked behind different factions which define your path through the main story. Given the games Wuxia setting, your power level increases exponentially and the numbers do go up nicely.
The quests have a nice bit of variety with some pretty ridiculous scenarios and the game isn’t afraid to give you consequences for your actions. You can’t see everything in one play through but it really adds to the sense of adventure. I don’t want to spoil anything but the NPCs in this game have no issue stabbing you in the back.
You can also talk to animals and get them involved in your party. A lot of the companions have their own quest lines as well. There are a lot of secrets to find as well with good rewards.
Since it’s a wuxia game you get all the staples, martial arts tournaments, beating up dojo masters, invite only auctions. Main character who oscillates between genius and idiot. Progression fantasy staples and it’s in my opinion the best example of a rpg in the genre.
Finally the developers seem great. They keep adding content to the game and it’s been a great game to jump in for a play through of from time to time on PC. New areas, quests, gameplay mechanics… That and they just released for mobile for a 1 time fee.
