I want to love the game, I really do since I have been hyping about it from day one. Sad to hear, but I'll continue to support the series no matter what. I have been following the game since the first day so to say that the game is a bit of a disappointment is an understatement. I like it of course, excited to see the next part but let's me just say, the game feels really disconnected somehow. I still love it though, would look forward to see more stories from the author but this is just not my favourite installment in Heroes Rise world.


The game on Steam version seems to work fine, albeit a few glitch then and there but the game for iOS version seems to have the stat screen frozen which is pretty much uh? I paid most of my time on the iOS version instead of the PC version, but I finished it a few times already so here goes.

The interactions are lacking. You get to see from others' perspectives twice in the story, that's nice. But outside of that, there aren't much interaction with other characters. Instead, you get to see from the eyes of these seemingly important but in reality, doesn't make much of an impact on the main character. Of course, Weaver works as your handler and you can unlock of a romance with him, that's nice. Lyra is the producer, but to be honest, so far, I really don't care about her. It's a nice tidbit to know what happened between your character and their romance partner but the lack of response for Prodigal romance kinda hurt. Especially since she uploads her personality to MeChip server, I would like her MeChip personality to at least acknowledge of the hero.

The Finalists go by in a breeze, some characters receive more attention than others, only for them to be kicked off the show in the blink of an eye. Other characters like Crystalline, Transfer, etc. receive an enough amount attention to get to know them. But their personality also gets extremely ambiguous at one point, it might cause disinterests in many people. It's nice to see the characters from the previous game to come back like Mach Girl, Fumble, etc. But interactions with them only go as far as that.

As some previous reviewers stated, the game focused too much on discrimination against the character's Powered ability without proving it. Remember, showing not telling. Or else the reader won't be able to relate to the problem since it's pretty obvious to most that the sister is in dire need of help and deserve more attention from them. Which is true, and I believe many others would also choose to focus on saving her. That said, I also like JK a lot, she's really interesting and it's nice to have a sibling this time. But in the end, the writing's still more or less too personal.

I also wonder if it's possible to delete saves in the future since I have a lot from old games and it's cluttering up.

"I want to love the game, I really do", worst way to start a review. downvote.
