Herta's Chess Game

Let's make a serious review for this. On one hand, this is a nice hsr fangame with cute visuals, great chibi character designs, and great animations. On the other, the difficulty ramps up way too fast. The Herta Space Station section that the game opens with feels really easy compared to the stuff you face later on, whether it's the swam on the Astral Express or the stuff in Belobog (and I don't know what happens after this because I haven't beaten the second Belobog level). You could say that "You're not 83rd in the Genius Society, this isn't for you" and while you'd be right, just because it's made for number 83 of the Genius Society, doesn't mean it should feel this difficult. Like to put into perspective the difficulty, the first Belobog level has you fight an Ice Out of Space (miniboss) that's hard to kill and then Gepard who has two phases. Like it's just kicking you while you're down. The Silvermane Guards are built incredibly strong in general, it often feels like the game is just trying to screw you over with how some characters start off really great but get absolutely demolished later on (Stelle is a perfect example of this, she seems like an amazing tank but is actuall…

As a former HSR player, I can see the appeal, something to play on the side if you crave more HSR content but there is no new event going on. Too bad this game seems to be abandoned. Despite having some interesting visuals and strategy, I can't get over some things that bug me: - the chibi models seem very off in the combat cutecenes - no fullscreen option - in windowed mode, the very bottom text is cut off and I can barely lift up the windows to check what it is written there (the game forces a certain positioning of the window) - some tutorial parts are either not explained right away or not clear enough - why use in-game animations for ultimates if they are so laggy in-game? - can't seem to be able to choose your protagonist - it's clunky to navigate through the menus in combat - narrative feels disjointed
