Fallen Hero: Rebirth

This was really incredible. The thing I normally hate the most about this kind of story is they normally force you into one route right away, or you fail. That wasn’t how this one felt at all, I felt like I really could choose different things. The writing was also just. Phenomenal. I’ve always wanted to play a game as this. Regretful villain who’s doing what she feels like she has to but is just falling apart on the inside, and this is the first story I’ve seen that really captures that super well. For me, I hope Ortega is (eventually) able to reach her, that’s the ending that would make the most sense for my character I think. But the writing in general has been so so strong in general, so I’m not too concerned about it. Like at first, I flirted with her as Eden, because I wasn’t thinking, and then I literally got called out for how manipulative that was when I was feeling bad for fighting her and. Ugh. So good. Just absolutely stellar. I also appreciated how the PC is not just a self insert character. Like obviously you push her in different directions, but she has her own underlying personality that you can’t just overwrite. Like no matter how much I’m making the choices that this feels wrong, it’s still the decisions she’s making, and it all just feels so thematic and true and ugh. This is the favorite story I’ve read in a very long time, and I’m a writer myself so I read a lot. I have never left a review on any app before but I had to come here and just say that that writing was so incredible, I am so impressed and I am so anxiously excited for the next one, whenever it comes out.

I can’t remember a time I read a story this quickly. It’s such an interesting world they’ve created and the characters are all so interesting. In the beginning it felt a little more like you could steer the story yourself but as things progressed I felt more like the character’s bitterness kind of overwhelmed your ability to choose. So my choices looked out of place with the story. Maybe that’s because of the answers I chose earlier on, I don’t know, but playing a full on villain while not getting the full picture about what happened to make your character want to destroy their former friends/allies broke some of my immersion. If I’m gonna be that vengeful to some seemingly decent folks, I kind of want more of a complete picture. Maybe I’d have learned more about the incident from their past with different choices. Also RO wise, for a player choosing to date guys but not wanting to have a romantic relationship with Ortega, the interactions got a little frustrating. Kind of felt like he was the only real option and he was constantly thrown at you. Regardless of the things I didn’t love, I really adore Fallen Hero and will replay it. Also excited for the next book!!

I must say that as of fan of the products you’ve produced this one might well be my all time favorite. I greatly enjoyed the mechanic of having control of two characters and potentially having two different personalities between the two. Plus I feel this game gives me an experience that isn’t all that touched on too well. The ability to be the villain! I’ve played the academy for upcoming super villains and I enjoyed it my first time through. But ultimately it felt lacking in motivation. I entered the school because my mother was a villain? Here my character suffered a traumatic experience that caused serious mental and physical injuries. Also your choice of what villain you will be is a fine touch as well. And with how the ending appeared for me, I’m looking forward to a potential sequel.
