Heroines of Swords & Spells 2

So, this game is massive. I just finished my first playthrough of Act 2 just shy of 100 hours. I did Act 1 seperately on its other listing, but if you buy this game Act 1 is included. The size and quality of the story is shocking (in a good way!) given this is made by one person on rpgmaker. I really enjoyed the story and have grown to find the main characters pretty endearing. The larger plot feels full of machinations/intrigue and I'm eager to see it continue in Act 3. But there's multiple other plotlines both narrative and character-development based. Choices matter and may not be obvious how they impact things till later - which feels cool/non-cheesy. I found combat fun and a challenge where appropriate. Near the end, I did turn up the difficulty to 120% since I was coasting near end-game on non-boss battles though. I otherwise played at 100% and still had a good challenge with some boss fights if I wasn't prepared. The game encourages paying attention and searching/thinking. I found it pretty engaging because of this - it gives enough information in the quest journal to move forward but without holding your hand too much and have found myself having to double-back to search…

Heroines of Swords & Spells 2 is an entertaining homage to classic turn-based Japanese role-playing games that succeeds by embracing the charm of old-school adventure design while adding its own humorous personality. Developed and published by Kirillkrm, the game avoids chasing modern trends in favor of a traditional fantasy experience centered on exploration, strategic combat, and character-driven storytelling. Instead of presenting legendary heroes destined for greatness, it follows an unlikely group of inexperienced adventurers whose flaws and constant mishaps become one of the game's greatest strengths. This refreshing approach creates a lighthearted atmosphere that distinguishes the sequel from more serious fantasy RPGs while still delivering a lengthy and rewarding journey. The story introduces four heroines who are far from the fearless champions players might expect. A timid warrior, an absent-minded mage, a gullible thief, and an underperforming priestess form an unconventional team that frequently finds themselves in situations beyond their abilities. Their shortcomings generate plenty of comedic moments, but the writing ensures they develop into genuinely likable charac…

Yes!

very fun and funny game, good if you like trun based rpgs, it invoate and changes the standered rpg forula enough to make it interesting

Wonderful RPG Maker game. You play as the titular 4 heroines: a thief who's too pure of heart for her profession, a warrior who's a complete coward, a wizard who (at first) doesn't know any spells, and a priestess who's so morally challenged her healing spell heals for exactly one (1) HP. Lead this team of unlikely heroes to great things. The characters' flaws play out mechanically. If you have money, the thief will leave it behind when you try to rob certain houses or give it away to certain npcs. The warrior will get hit by the fear status effect and become useless if her hp dips too low or you encounter certain enemies (if you get her drunk she'll get back into the action at the cost of being temporarily uncontrollable). The wizard literally starts the game with zero spells. Finally, the priestess will never, ever be good at healing, forcing you to chug healing potions to survive. Story-wise, the party has a great dynamic with eachother, which is part of the fun of the game. Gameplay wise, Heroines of Swords & Spells is inspired by JRPGs, but cuts out some of the fat by making non-boss enemy encounters basically a waste of time and resources. There's no point grinding rats or…

TL:DR Review [Out of 10]: Gameplay: 2; Story: 8; Visuals: 8; Sounds: 2; OS Compatibility: 5; Value and Considerations: 2. "Great original idea implemented so well it makes the game a chore and painstakingly mentally exhausting...!" Alert: There are only 21 of the 243 reviews with anything written, and 118 written reviews of the 670 that are there on their first game which is free. Some of the reviews state they got the game for free somewhere to leave a review. Unfortunately for me I saw it was very positive, and paid almost full price for the game a while ago. What a waste of money! Disclaimer / Bias: One of my favorite game types is RPGs. I’ve purchased this game at 20% off on sale, but even at the current 40% I’d say the game for what you get is still overpriced. Story: 8 out of 10. Ever wanted to lead an army of handicapped girls in a sexist world where resources are a scarcity? This game is for you! Nearly every character you get in the game is like recruiting a sniper or bowsmen who had their dominant arm chopped off. Individually each character is pretty fun, and the game has a lot of dialog to bring out the setting and character personalities. The priestess …
