What better way to spend an evening than gathered around listening to a classic tale of a brave hero saving a princess from a sinister demon lord bent on ruling the world? Sure, it may be the same story you've heard time and time again, but don't old stories get better with age?
So here we find our usual crew. A hero, a demon lord, and a princess all congregating to tell the story of the hero's triumph and the defeat of a great evil. Everyone here know their role and exactly how to carry it out. But what happens when the story doesn't go exactly as we know it? What if someone were to rewrite the story to something no one within it knows how to enact? Who's responsibility is it to put the story back on its track and find the happy ending we all know and love?
Brave Hero Yuusha is a satirical love-letter to an older, simpler time of role-playing games when one's mission was solely to rid the world of a great evil and save the land. But nobody would be content if we played such a thing straight. Instead, players can look forward to a trope-shattering romp built with visuals heavily inspired from older RPGs; namely Dragon Quest, Hydelide, and Destiny of an Emperor, with extra emphasis on the former. Arm yourselves to the teeth and face off against a rogue's gallery of monsters and strange creatures as your journey to piece this broken narrative back to the way it should be!
- Classic turn-based combat
- Custom visuals inspired by NES-era RPGs
- Splendid chiptune tracks
- A brief but enjoyable journey with 3-5 hours of gameplay.
The Hero- Like the hero of any good story, our protagonist has a "strong sense of justice" according to the back of the box, and is probably also completely unqualified for this role. The Hero is abruptly awoken on the morning of his seventeenth birthday to be appointed the title of "Yuusha", despite never having done anything, and is to take on a grand quest to save the world against his will and well-being. Having been sent off to the Demon Lord's castle hours before he was supposed to, all The Hero just wants to go home and do goodness knows what, but when someone disrupts the very fabric of the story, guess who's responsibility it is to put the plot back together? It's tough being the Yuusha.The Demon Lord - The bumbly, often-befuddled Demon Lord's role is to kidnap princesses and threaten the world with a great evil and await defeat by the hands of the Yuusha. It may not be the most well-liked of positions, but it puts bread on the table so he might as well not deviate from the usual motions too much. Angered by the destruction of his mighty fortress when the story is steered off-course, the Demon Lord joins The Hero to seek revenge and the proper compensation for the damage. Despite what many people think, he's actually pro-union when running his domain.
The Princess - The Princess's role is to be saved by The Hero, but when he gallantly shows up earlier than expected, The Princess grows furious and vows to knock some sense into both he and the Demon Lord to show them how they should act. She is short-tempered and openly enjoys berating the Demon Lord's bumblings, whom does not dare say a word otherwise. She is proficient in magic.

That is ok. I know the rest of the Actor 3 Set...
Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
