Short description
Several years after a war that has slowly drifted into legend, rumours of the executed archwizard Liazar abound. Join Rufus, Imogen, Edmund and the gang as they grapple with a homeland ablaze, a sister gone missing, a king who doesn't want his kingdom and an evil wizard set on destroying the world!
About this game
Old Hero is a short (15h or so) JRPG with early 90s graphics and gameplay but with modern storytelling and quality-of-life features. KEY FEATURES Turn-based Combat Old school RPG combat is the name of the game! Forget over-the-top action sequences and bouts of button mashing until your thumb hurts, in Old Hero you'll need to use your brain to navigate the turn-based combat battles.

Of course, the very best secrets are the trickiest to unearth. Rich Itemisation Progressing through the game smoothly depends on getting to grips with a myriad of itemisation options! Whether it's deciding between offensive or defensive armours, the right element attack to focus on, or getting appropriate status protection for that irritating boss that keeps putting your healer to sleep, expect to live or die based on your choices! Character-based Storytelling Following classic JRPG tradition, our zany band of eight characters are up against insurmountable odds and a malevolent evil that threatens the entire world! This is no surface-level storytelling however! Each one of our integral characters will influence and drive the plot in their own unique way and, as if you needed to ask, there'll be humourous and he…
