i,m going to be honest, i't sukcs.!.. I enjoyed the early games of this series but the intersectionality\/racial stuff was laid on so thickly this time it wasnt a intresting theme as much as a heavy handed essay. I support creators making games in there own image\/ideals but its really not enjoyable in this. Maybe this game isnt really for me, but I wanted to see the series through to the end. The choices are very limited, it wasnt so much choosing what my character would most want to do but choosing the option which was least unfitting. It might not help that I cant remeber the characters of previous games too well, which isnt to my own detrement not the authors but unless you can be bothered to repaly the old ones this might have an effect. Its pretty cheap though and if you like identity politics\/ sociology and have played the others then you might get a kick out of it.. I actually really liked this story. it wasn't the perfect cap off to the Heroes series, but it was still pretty good all things considered. If this were the very last story that was being written in this universe, i would've liked it far less because it would feel to Mass Effect 3ish but as the ending showed, that might not be the case so hopes up and all that.

Does this game have it's flaws? yes, absolutely. But should you still buy it in spite of that? yes, definetly.. Now, I see a lot of reviews criticising this for A: overfocusing on side characters, and B: having an over the top plot. And I'm afraid you're missing the point of Golden Age of Comics inspired stuff- they like their rosters, they like their plots to be as high up the stakes as possible, and this does so with aplomb. As a swan song to the whole series, it keeps the momentum, it keeps the feeling that your decisions matter. You get unprecedented freedom in this game, and everything you've done across the whole series as both your characters finally comes home to roost. Were you a hard enough hero? Did you do your best? Only one way to find out. . . play this game. Highly recommended, as are all four others.. I actually liked the first Heroes Rise spin-off Hero Project: Redemption Season despite few flaws. First because of the story, an unique powered hero going into a superhero reality show to save disabled sister. I liked it very much because even in bigger picture as a superhero, it felt personal.

The sequel, if you played the demo, threw the core of this spin-off Hero Project out the way. Titled as Hero Project and making MC being kicked out of the reality show because \u2018plot reasons\u2019 didn't click well for me. With core concept that I liked out the way, main character is thrown into situations I personally chose not to be yet I still was going into it, forcefully. As a CYOA, I should be able to choose how I want to progress my adventure? Atleast same goal through different path\/method? Lack of variations with replay value only down to different type of motivations is disappointing also.

Then, there were given a lot of old and new groups and characters with new motivations and political stances. Characters are 'rebranding' and changing new group regularly, which is tedious for me to keep checking characters stat screen to understand what is happening. In the end I just couldn\u2019t care about anyone else except few core characters especially from main trilogy.

And the political agendas? It was just too much to process with a lot characters jumping around and was felt as forceful, especially after playing as First MC shortly and his agenda still feels closer to the heart than the new one. Shows what quality Heroes Rise trilogy have compared to this spinoff. I respect the author for juggling so many characters, groups, stats etc but it all just didn\u2019t fit together. It felt 'Disembodied'.

Only good thing is short but sweet opportunity to play as original series MC and teamwork towards final villain,that raised more questions than answers. Not the conclusion or 'bonus' epilogue I was expecting, again didn't click well for me. That is my two cents anyway, for anyone still interested, please go ahead and try for yourself. Not recommended for anyone looking to play superhero CYOA. Try something else.

4\/10 More to political than superhero.. This was an incredible story. I have read these all the way from the beginning, and I'm thrilled to have finished them. I can't wait to see how this connects to the Versus series. I'm most definitely going to be reading every single title that comes from this author. The characters and the story were just brilliant. I do have a few questions that were left unanswered, but I hope that they'll come to a close in the Versus series. I am more than happy to give this a 10/10. And yes, you should read them all.. To start, I played every other Heroes Rise game but this spin-off doesn't hold a candle to the original trilogy. This 'game' reads like a very bad comic, no freedom of choice because the outcome is always the same and even if your ideals are different from the author, you are forced to pick an option that agreees with them.
I'd hoped that the bad parts from Redemption Season would be improved and the story would actually pick up a bit. Sadly, this is not the case. I found the MC to be very boring and whiny in the first game, giving long speeches about the unfairness of their situation and fighting for ' the rights of the underrepresented'. It was fine as a sideplot or a background motivation but it has become the sole focus of the series. You are constantly faced with walls of text discribing one unfairness or another and you barely get to see any action. When something does happen, it is presented in a very passive way. ' You are watching teammate X fight enemy Y' and so on. It kills any sort of immersion, it's like reading a weather forecast instead of fighting a dangerous battle.

As said in the introduction, you are also incredibly rail-roaded in your choices. You want to fight for the things you believe in? That's great just make sure you believe in Anipowered and Underrepresented rights. Also make sure to remind everyone else of this in like every conversation even if you spoke with them five minutes ago.
You are also constatly bombed with advertisements which encourage you to buy every other game from the author and needless upgrades like the Mechip warning system. I am not against some promotion of your works but keep it nice, don't throw an advertisement in my face after almost every chapter.

Pros:
-This sequel finishes the Hero Project story, sort of. (You get a vague bonus ending hinting at another installment)
-Might gain cult status from its own awfulness.

Cons:
-No real choices, plays like a kinetic novel of very low quality.
-MC feels like a self-insert of the author, no real player choice beside gender\/sexuality
-Characters feel bland and uninspired. Most of the cast represent a minority and the MC automatically likes them because of this. However, take this aspect of their identity away and you are left with cardboard figures.
-Most of the characters from the original trilogy have gone through 'rebranding'. In my opinion it takes away what made them special in the first place. The focus on white costumes was also a big cliche (white is good, black is evil).
-General bad writing, it is a pain to get through this story and I was glad when I reached the end.
. Even as a diehard fan of the Heroes Rise series, I found it somewhat hard to enjoy this as much as the others. The political spiels that made Redemption Season as controversial as it was are still present, along with a good amount of railroading, confusing stats, disappointing romance options, and a rushed plot- the whole final apocalypse arc felt somewhat shoehorned in.

I did enjoy seeing the original trilogy characters though, having the old Heroes Rise MC back was almost like catching up with an old friend, even if their character is pretty much the same no matter what choices you made in the original trilogy. Still, I'll take what I can get.

Overall, you should probably stay away from this if you didn't like Redemption Season, unless you really love Heroes Rise and want to see the conclusion, as much of a trainwreck said conclusion is, especially after that damned bonus scene. But personally, if I wanted a good ending, I would pretend HeroFall was the final book.



. TL;DR "Where is the mixed review option?"

I enjoyed the battles and relationships\/friendships, and possibly due to the nature of some of the characters in this one and the ending; would very much enjoy seeing these characters become big members of Versus.<\/span><\/span>

However, because of the initial introduction of all of these new characters, groups and different powers did feel very jarring and disconnected, as well as all of the new political or anti-political agendas that almost seem to force additional choices and consquences in just to increase the story\/game that little bit further.

Current feelings after my first playthrough are very mixed. Maybe, after another playthrough or two I will come to enjoy this final "book" of The Hero series after getting used to what I found to be jarring on the first playthrough, or maybe I won't, it's hard to say at this point.. A real improvement over the last one. I think these games are a lot stronger when they aren't as focused on the silly reality tv show. Some elements feel a little rushed. The main villain didn't have much build up and I would have like more details on Magnuspiral. But ultimately it's a fun game and I want to see where it will go next.
