Heads Will Roll Reforged is a game I generally liked, even though it has some clear problems. It’s not amazing, but it’s not bad either. The dark fantasy vibe is cool, and the whole idea of going on runs, making tough choices, and trying to survive worked well enough to keep me playing. One thing that stands out in a good way is how brutal and honest the game is about failure. You’re not treated like a hero who’s supposed to win every time. You’re more like a random mercenary trying to make it through a messed-up world, and the game leans into that. When you finally get a good run going, it feels earned, not handed to you. Some parts can be frustrating, and not everything feels balanced or well-polished. You’ll definitely have moments where things feel unfair or a bit janky. Still, when the game clicks, it can be pretty fun, especially if you’re into rough, punishing games where you learn from mistakes. Overall, I’d give it a 7/10. It has issues, but it’s still a decent game and worth trying if the style and idea sound interesting to you.
6.5/10 Compared to first game, graphics and art is improved, the battle is still annoying, like torture level tedious, long texts are also annoying, as well as not being able to change the font is annoying. but overall enjoyable story if you get through all the stuff I just said so I think i reccomend it if you really into story and choice matter kinda game. But I feel like this all could've been done better as far as game design goes.
I love this game and have happily put 100 hours into it since its release. I can always come back to it and have a great time. Its meta progression is simple but my favorite feature, it allows me to create unique runs focusing on different weapons, trinkets and my favorite low/high virtue. The simple decision to run a high virtue character will dictate my whole run and branching paths, and for me this adds tremendous replay value. The game is designed to be replayed, with 100 hours I have not even come close to seeing all the different paths. I wish the different paths began sooner but once you have taken over the castle the game really opens up and can take you in wildly different directions. The combat may seem hard at the beginning but once you have a few good runs and get your stats up you feel powerful and this makes the meta progression feel rewarding. This game is a gem to me and I am grateful the developer keeps putting more content and care into it. side note I recommend playing a legionary's life if you like this game as it's the only other game that scratches the same meta progression itch for me and please let me know if there are others I would love to try them.
this is a higher budget knockoff of the truly excellent Legionary's life. You *must* play that before this, since it is cheaper, and so the original dev gets money after this game... frankly... completely ripped his off. A choices matter RPG, taking place in the backdrop of a war. the idea here is that your job is not to change the tide of the war, the idea is that you can use the war to raise your station from your humble beginings. The combat is a very unique balance act of careful defense and calculated aggression. The combat is *hard* the intended difficulty is *hard*, but it is very fun and rewarding once you figure it out
Picked up the original iteration of this game as a lark for like 5 bucks. Was amused by the decision to include some smutty artwork with a semi-historical, narrative roguelike RPG. Enjoyed it well enough and then put it down. When it was remastered and re-balanced and further developed a year or so later, I gave it another go. It has become one of my favorite 'roguelike' RPG/VN/Historical hybrid ever made. The game is grindy if you play it 'right', which is in HWR mode. Permdeath, no saves, no do-overs. Exactly as a roguelike should be. But the grind is FUN, even if the core content of the first few chapters is the same. Especially since as you level up your profile, your little hero starts strong and stronger each time. Better gear, better skills, better knowledge of the puzzles and quests and tricks and traps and fights. Before you know it, you're breezing through those opening chapters with aplomb and THAT is when you start to discover (largely but not entirely through a suite of good DLCs) the immense depth of content there is to be found here. So many intricate storylines, so much lore, so many choices and branches as you write and play out the tale of your greasy little English mercenary. And when you discover them the first time in HWR (roguelike) mode, it feels so revelatory and amazing. Like, you're grinding your way through for the 20th time building for one particular choice to find one particular ending (and there are more than 30!) and suddenly a door opens that you never even knew existed and a whole new story path presents itself. Seriously, whether you play this as an easy-breeze story or a grueling (but rewarding!) grindfest, it's a blast. Frustrating as heck at times, but a blast. The stories are a lot of fun, the artwork is adept and thematic, the combat is deeply complex with an array of options and styles. All in all, a steal at twice the price.
