    As a big fan of the Wizardry, Bard’s Tale; and Might & Magic series growing up I loved Class of Heroes and am excited to see it come back.
    My only issue with a lot of these Japanese revivals of j traditional Western RPG’s is they could add voice lines for my party members so the game feels less mechanical and lonely.

    Class Of Heroes 1 and 2 were made by the same dev team who made Wizardry: Labyrinth Of Lost Souls, by the way! I also recommend The Dark Spire on Nintendo DS, and I also recommend Elminage: Original and Elminage: Gothic on Windows PC!
    If you liked Class of Heroes then you will definitely enjoy those as well. Highly recommended.

      I recommend you Operation Abyss and it's sequel, they are the best of the genre i've played so far, check them out. Actually my brother says that Undernauts is even better but i haven't played, it's from the same team (Experience), they are very good at these games (except stranger of sword city, avoid that one lol).

    This is actually the game i'm most hyped for 2024 i'm not kidding. this was my first first-person dungeon crawler, i played the first on PSP and i loved it.
    I would love if people would support the game so we can get CoH3, we need more first-person dungeon crawlers, lets go 👍

  • @ParasaurolophusZ
    @ParasaurolophusZ Před 2 měsíci +5

    Old school dungeon crawlers like this can have blisteringly brutal difficulty, but they also definitely have a special charm. I've only played a handful of them (never these ones, though it does pique my interest!), but they're always fun as long as you're prepared for the difficulty.
    It looks like these have an auto-map feature, which takes away a lot of potential frustration. Though I still have some of my ancient hand-drawn maps from the 90s floating around for some of the games I played then.

    @TheTateful Před měsícem +1

    Yeah, even the class system is straight-up lifted from Wizardry. I wonder if it's actually the same devs? The later games on the Wizardry series (the non-numbered ones) are actually Japanese-developed and have a markedly more anime design, such as Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land for PS2.

  • @okayman81

    @thequestingbunny Před 2 měsíci +1

    Considering I love first-person dungeon crawlers where I can make my own characters, this is really up my alley. I picked up Stranger of Sword City a few years ago, but I really hated how the art was so inconsistent between player-made characters. One reason why Class of Heroes appeals to me is how all the drawings all make it seem like these characters all live in the same world.
    I did just get Etrian Odyssey Collection for Switch for my birthday and I'm still not done with those yet! XD

  • @Demi-Joker

    PQube sent me review codes of these on PS5 as beat the 2nd game, still working through the first game but almost done. Should have my review up sometime this week. The 1st game I find is a bit rough to get through, but the 2nd is such a massive improvement and really addictive once you get going. Also there were some dialogue and quests that made me burst out laughing

  • @golby260
    @golby260 Před měsícem

    I still own these games digitally on my Vita and PSP (1) and PS3 (2G) respectively. From what I remember, 2 plays better than 1 in the beginning, but then, there is a huge, unbalanced difficulty spike in 2 the likes of SaGa Frontier Bad in at least one early dungeon map (I.e. the monsters are suddenly super hard) once you get to a certain point in the story that really annoyed me. I kind of liked both, but I preferred 1’s portability.
    I don’t know if 1 or 2 is still cheap on the Vita or PS3 store, despite Sony’s current efforts to make buying anything on there nigh impossible, so I guess buying the Switch version or others is the far more practical option for new people. (Plus, I’m hoping that PQube has re-localized 2’s translation - if so, hopefully, it is is less Working Design-ish - the guys who ran that company localized 2/2G under another company entity - I didn’t hate it, but its goofiness and eccentricity may grate by modern standards.). I may buy the Switch 1&2 bundle someday to show my support.

      Okay! So as I think of dungeon crawlers, Labyrinth of Touhou 2! It's on steam now and man! It's good! I mean, it's different from the normal, but once you dig in, it's very rewarding in so many ways. If you put it on hard mode, be prepared to hate life, because you have to fight bosses on a specific level. This means that you have to get the right team for each boss. How you explore dungeons has such a different graphic style than the usual which just draws me in as well.
