Gameplay

Rather than the stories from most RPG games where your goal is to save the world, in Lord of Heroes, you take on the role of a monarch who tries to revolutionize a fallen world. The gameplay is very smooth with fun and solid story making it look like a webtoon. From the beginning it offers very detailed tutorial for players to get familiar with all the settings and elements from the game. 

You can recruit heroes along the way through different parts of the world and send them to the battleground with different orders and formations facing different types of enemies. If you are not good at strategizing, the game also offers the Automatic Combat function for you to set your hands free. Each battle will take up certain amount of the energy which needs time to refill once it is used up.

If you are tired of the Story Mode, there are Raids, Dungeons, and an Alliance system for you to play as well to get various items you need to upgrade your heroes.

There are many missions for you to complete in Feats. After you complete the missions, you will get rewards including in-game currency, energy and other useful items to help you upgrade.

Graphics

Controls

The controls in Lord of Heroes are very easy to use and very friendly for casual players. Each control will be taught in the tutorial from the beginning of the game. During combat, you can perform skills and burst skills to fight against enemies, or assist allies in their attacks to bring higher damage. If you are afraid that you cannot take control of your heroes very well in the match, the Automatic Combat feature can help you to kill enemies easily as well.

Heroes

Lord of Heroes has great character designs which avoid making them seem overly violent or sexual, and instead focus on diversity and individuality, according to their game director Seong-kuk Yun.

There are 52 heroes in Lord of Heroes by far, each with their unique looks and skills.  You can customize your heroes with different outfits and equipment as you like.
