In case you missed it, you definitely need to check out the previous trailer. The story seems fairly simple: the game takes place in the world of Veil, where a Lord is stricken by a curse. You play one of four mercenaries, each with their own strengths and style of fighting, who undergo a quest to save the kingdom. In order to do so, you must explore a dynamic world full of magic, build your skills, and battle monsters. The trailers and screenshots show a number of diverse environments to traverse and creatures to fight.
The gameplay is a major draw, especially for multiplayer. Heroes of Ruin allows you drop in-and-out of others’ games over Wifi or online, with up to four players per game. Additionally, the developer has promised daily DLC in the form of new gameplay challenges and quests. How much the DLC will add to the game is still an open question, but really, what more could you ask for post-release?
The developer, n-space, is not exactly known for its RPGs, so there are valid concerns about the depth of the game, especially from a story perspective. But for action-RPG lovers who are looking for a fun, new game for the 3DS, especially one they can play with friends, Heroes of Ruin is certainly worth a look.
Heroes of Ruin is set to be released on March 31, 2012 for the Nintendo 3DS.
