About GALER: Plague of Heroes
In the medieval land known as GALER, a thick fog begins rolling in from coast to coast,
and rumors of the dead walking have people in a panic. It is at this time an ancient mind
awakes and begins reaching out to some of the last survivors on the planet, having them
unite as one force in one of the last surviving kingdoms. These strangers are then faced
with a truth so terrifying that they must confront their own inner demons if they ever hope
to make a stand against the living dead, for the true force behind it all is waiting on the other side..
Special Features-
Unique dual random battle system- Choose four characters in your immediate party to complete
sections of the game, during which there are random encounters happening both in this immediate party
as well as back at the home base, choosing from your remaining characters. This allows for added
difficulty in GALER, as a defeat in either random battle results in game over.
Magic creation- Players have the ability to test and create new forms of magic using ingredients
collected throughout GALER.
Checking for traps- Not unlike detect traps in Dungeons & Dragons, if a rogue is on your team
they can perform a detect traps skill in dungeons.
Appraise items- A player can uncover rare items during the game that can be appraised and equipped
as magical weapons/armor
Tons of subplots and hidden storylines- Depending on who is (and who is not) on your immediate party and the time in which
you are in certain areas, unique subplots can be revealed that changes the relationships between other
characters in the game.

Having played hundreds of classic JRPGs, I'm always on the lookout for a fresh experience. Zombies are still a rare appearance in classic JRPGs. "Wolfenhain", a free German RPG, implemented them in a Low Fantasy setting last year. "Galer: Plague of Heroes" is this year's High Fantasy JRPG embodiment. If you like Final Fantasy VI (large cast of characters, dawning apocalypse scenario) and zombies, bothered to read my review and don't dislike RPG Maker (2003) games, there's a good chance this game might appeal to you. While the story (see the game description) is executed fairly well (despite/because of a lack of major, but therefore also often unbelievable plot twists), it suffers from typos and a "doughy", seemingly unrelated beginning. If you can make it past that, though, you'll have a hard time finding another JRPG like Galer that forces you this strongly to question your heroes' success. Despair's palpable as you seem to fight a losing battle. This might be the game's greatest merit, as the heroes' victory in other JRPGs is never in any real danger (unless these games deliberately offer "bad ending" or "chaos" routes). Finally, a satisfying ending rounds out the story. The b…16 found this helpful
The inclusion of zombies in a classic style RPG is a very creative idea. This is something that I have not seen attempted before, and I think it was achieved quite well by Mr Graham Dodge. Havent completed the story yet, but has been a nice play so far.2 found this helpful
