About Reverie - A Heroes Tale
The Gameplay
Reverie: A Heroes Tale is our interpretation of classic Turn-Based RPG's with the addition of being able to customize the way that you play. You begin the game by creating a party of four. You've the option of selecting through 17 different classes to mix and match in your party as you please, allowing yourself to be thrust into the game world with a playstyle that suits you best, regardless of how strong, or not-so-strong, that it ends up being.
Traveling through the world yields superior armor, weaponry, and other such treasures you'd expect, as well as Shards - bits and pieces of knowledge left behind by the gods to afford your characters skills and abilities that they would otherwise not have access to, allowing you to expand the build of your party even further to maximize your potential in your inevitable battle against the Dreaming King.
As you gain experience and level up, you are not simply made stronger in a default, linear fashion. You, as the player, choose how your characters progress, earning "Level Up points" as you level, which you may distribute freely into your characters to increase their maximum Health, Mana, damage output, and/or speed in combat. Are you the kind of person with a desire to create a party of glass cannons? Do you want one member of your party to hit like a wet noodle, but elsewise be the beefiest, tankiest being to ever exist? How about a character that is so fast that they are sometimes able to act multiple times before the enemy? The choices are all your own, for better or for worse.
The Story
The world is being thrown into darkness by the waking of the Dreaming King. With his shadowy tendrils outstretched, the continent of Asphal is being thrust into a state of disease and death. Reports are flowing in about a kind of "Dreaming Curse" that is bringing all of Asphal to its knees. The curse, as the reports indicate, cites that sometimes when residents go to sleep, they never wake up. Pronounced as dead, many of these people were laid into graves within the catacombs of local churches.
Reluctantly, the King of Anavyl called upon the Warriors of the Divine, a special group of four heroes that were blessed by the Divine, the last remaining holy spirit, to become immune to the Dreaming King's curse. Their quest was simple: defeat the Dreaming King and end the curse once and for all.
In order to do so, however, the heroes must first gather the necessary strength to face him. In their journeys throughout Asphal, they will meet potential allies and enemies of varying walks of life and enter the dreams of those who were cursed in an attempt to save them from the demons that force them into their slumber.

This game was honestly so good. It took a bit and a few restarts to really understand the game and to get a team that wasn't garbage, but I thought it was great the whole time through. Also, so much content for like the $1 that I paid for it.1 found this helpful
Great game. The game tells its story. It has player made towns and side stories. Any job party mixup, and weapon armor swap. You can turn a mage into a melee. Have fun. By the way he has a kickstarter going for second game. Reverie - A Heroes Fate, via @Kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1487194831/reverie-a-heroes-fate1 found this helpful
I love the 8-bits style RPG and old-school fashioned! I don't know why some of the reviews are bad but this game is very awesome! I don't know who is the music compositor but he's a genious! The soundtrack is amazing and I'll never get bored of hearing the main battle theme, soooo SAO style <3 2 Hours in it so far and I can't stop playing! It's grindy but that's how I love my games!
I love the amount of class options as well as being able to assign stats and shards. Really allows you to customize your party and encourage additional playthroughs. The sound track exceeded my expectations. Lots of bangers and always fits the area. There is a lot to do in the game and it doesn't hold your hand. This is mostly a positive, but I did struggle quit a bit with where to go next, often stumbling into an area I had no hope of surviving. The only negative is that a little more direction would be appreciated, but given the style of the game it is acceptable. (and the relic choice as it is basically air ship or warrior gets sweep and rolls the game) Graphics and intentional, but I do appreciate the variety of enemy types.
Extremely fun game with a variety of classes and skills so you can enjoy multiple runs. Dark knight and wizard are incredible though. Dialogue is serious but sprinkled with enough humour to keep you interested. Definitely worth the buy.
I found "Reverie - A Heroes Fate" on Kickstarter, and thought I'd try the first game since it was very cheap. Overall I really liked the game. Here are my personal pros and cons: Pros: - Totally worth its price! Took me between 10 and 15 hours to finish one playthrough (I'm a chill player though, a lot of people will probably finish this a bit faster). - The map of the game is pretty big, there are quite a few places to explore. - Lots of classes to choose from, giving the game a bit of replayability and also strategy elements. - Some nice side quests (I would have enjoyed a quest tab in the menu though). - Equipments have very varied abilities i.e. it's not just + N points in Def when you get a new armor. Again requires a bit of strategy to put together a well esquipped team. Cons: - Not much of a story, the characters of the party having no personality, but the number of classes available in the game make up for that in a way. - Easy to get lost in where to go next, mostly when you choose the airship from the beginning. I think it would have been easier with a story to follow. Conclusion: totally backing the next game on Kickstarter :)
