Fallen Hero has some of the best writing in a game period. The characters really could not be better written if they tried, they are still on my mind even years later and are soo memorable (Ortega my beloved). The world of Los Diablos is easily up there with fantastic literature/game settings like Disco Elysium, Dark Sun, Planescape, Tyranny and too many others to count. PLEASE PLAY THIS IF YOU LIKE FANTASTIC WRITING.

Finally getting around to playing this after so thoroughly enjoying the first, and I have to say the author has outdone themselves, thank you for the emotional damages. I love Argent a lot UwU

I'm so normal about this series. So, so normal. I'm not obsessed at all. It's not like every time I finish a playthrough I start gushing about the variables, the secrets, the characters, the end states, the romances and general replayability value of this book to everyone I know who is also into interactive fiction - even if they haven't read it yet and aren't likely to, because superpowers and heroes are just not their thing. It's not like I'm sad that I have no one to properly discuss the books with within my social circle. It's not like I can't wait for the sequel to come out... (I finished this book as soon as it got released, but only now purchased on Steam, so disregard the hours I have in it).

This is a review for all of Fallen Hero, more or less identical to the spoiler free review I left on the first entry in the series, Fallen Hero: Rebirth. I would NOT recommend playing these games out of order. If you have not played Fallen Hero: Rebirth, please go do so now. Do not be tempted to read spoilers or guides, you can always do that after doing a blind playthrough. The Fallen Hero series is a masterwork of both fiction and gaming. (Even though only two of the four planned novels/games are currently out.) SPOILER FREE The week I began playing Fallen Hero I was obsessed to the point that I tracked down the creator, Malin Ryden, on Patreon because I wanted to pay more money to ensure she understands that her work is both extremely appreciated and of extremely high quality. I cannot wait for the rest of the series to release and I hope Ryden never stops making these novels/games because they are incredible. So, what makes Fallen Hero so different from other choose your own adventure novels/games? The choices you make in Fallen Hero, nearly all of them, have genuine gameplay impacts, whether or not you notice them. Some of your choices will have an immediate impact while others slowly build up. Some fly under the radar until you play the next installment in the series. Your character feels both like their own individual with a past and inner life while also being extremely unique and personal to you based on the choices you've made. The narrative too finds a way to balance being extremely engaging and satisfying while also allowing you to heavily influence it via your choices and character options. Fallen Hero truly feels like a novel come to life , one where you are the main character, because that is exactly what it is. No path feels right or wrong, cannon or inconsequential, as long as it is the path you want to take, because Ryden treats all of them like they are the main narrative and every possible iteration of the story and characters has something interesting to explore, meaning this game has a massive amount of replayability. That being said, each installment of the series builds on the previous installments, meaning as the series goes on the exponentially expanding web of choices grows ever larger and more complex. Ryden does not back down and flatten the characters or narrative so that everything is reset to a factory default that can be built off of for the next part of the series. Your characters complexity only grows, as does the complexity of the narrative. I'm sure once the third novel/game comes out I'll end up replaying the first and second ones all over again (and again and again) to see what choices I made all the way back in the beginning end up coming back to reward or haunt me. That being said, I never feel punished by the narrative. I may make a bad choice, but that bad choice may lead to new and interesting options, ones I haven't seen or considered before, ones I may not have otherwise gotten. Sometimes the bad choice is the right choice for me because of who I want my character to be or what direction I want the narrative to go in. This really is a game that rewards you for exploring. That all being said, I highly recommend you play each of these games "blind" the first time. No spoilers, no guides, no saves. Just choose what feels right to you. After you've done one blind playthrough of the first game, Fallen Hero: Rebirth, I recommend replaying and exploring it to find what choices lead you to a character and narrative you feel satisfied with before moving on to playing Fallen Hero: Retribution "blind". If you want to explore all possible options in Fallen Hero: Retribution or are struggling to decide what you want for your character/narrative , especially because there is no "undo" or "save/load" button, then I recommend using a CoG Save Manager and the So You Want To Be A Villain guide. PLEASE BUY THIS GAME AND SUPPORT MALIN RYDEN'S WORK! I would love for more people to show their support and enjoy this novel/game and get involved in its fandom and so on. It deserves a lot of praise and love and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

A great follow-up. Load of choice, and the writing really makes you feel like your specific character, rather than one of a few distinct people like a lot of other CYOA.
