About Mystery Chronicle: One Way Heroics

Forget about saving the king, forget about saving the townsfolk, a true hero is one who saves the day!
Once you begin Mystery Chronicle: One Way Heroics, there is no turning back.

Mystery Chronicle overhauls the gameplay and graphics of the highly acclaimed indie title One Way Heroics. As well as adding in some well-loved characters from other IPs such as Danganronpa and Shiren the Wanderer.

Play your way through the different maps generated with every playthrough, constantly on the move away from the calamity of light, the Shine Raid, to your left and on to your final battle with the Fallen Angel, Alma. There's no turning back, once this thrilling one-way adventure begins!
  • Filled with over 20 different classes
  • Epic battles together with the comrades you meet, and the chance to unravel the mysteries of these worlds.
  • Dungeon Crawling Goes Above Ground
    Leave dinky dungeons behind to explore an infinite number of procedurally generated worlds, each with their own terrain, traps and treasure.
  • Forced-scroll Roguelike RPG
    The Shine Raid consumes everything in its path and moves with every action you take! Do you risk taking a detour for loot, or do you play it safe and put more distance between yourself and annihilation?
  • Brimming with Class and Characters
    With over 20 classes to choose from, no two adventures will ever be the same! A quirky cast of NPC allies will always be there to keep you company—so long as you take care to keep them alive.
  • Social Skills
    Share the worlds you unlock with friends, then post your successes (and failures) on Twitter. Thanks to daily Campaign Worlds you’ll never run out of new ground to cover!
  • English and Japanese Interface, Subtitles and Full Audio!

The 30fps compared to the original's 60fps is the only thing needed to mention how bad this is. Forget everything else.

This game is a little over-hated. Like everyone, I think the original is overall the better game, but there is fun to be had with this. Pros -It's still OWH, the core gameplay, controls, and victory conditions are the same -WAY more classes to play, tons of new content -World generation feels a little more random with more variety -Tons of stuff to unlock, building the castle feels *slightly* more fleshed out -The art overall is a little hit or miss, but I really like the sprites themselves Cons -The Fairy sidekick is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ insufferable, all of the dialogue is overly-cringe weeb ass garbage. A bummer because the original had memorable characters and a charming story. -30fps lock, and the game is choppy and feels super laggy (Lossless Scaling helps) -Botched online implementation -New UI is 50/50. Some things are more readable, but it's less customizable, and menu navigation feels clunky. -Music is worse and there's way less variety -Traps suck, but you can make them visible in the options (do this) I'd recommend the original to newcomers anytime over this, but if you've already played that cover to cover and want more, I really don't think this game is as bad as everyone …

Whoever decided to cap the game at 30 fps, I hope they got fired.

A ver, el primer One Way Heroics es mejor por mucho menos precio. Aquí le han añadido más clases y más compañeros, lo cual está bien, pero han hecho muchos cambios pequeños que lo hacen menos divertido. Sigue siendo un buen juego, pero mejor compra el primero.

Needs a lot of QoL changes.
