The Lost Heir 3: Demon War

The person who said stats are required to be 70-80+ is being generous. You will see checks for 100 in multiple stats by endgame. Magic specialists will struggle to pass the endgame gauntlet without a bad ending. Blades/Archery experts should make it through readily if they maxed their key stats, and Unarmed specialists are midway between Blades/Archery and Magic. Stats such as Strength, Agility, and Endurance will contribute greatly to success... and tend to be raised by martial training, not so much by magical training. Oops. Have fun trying to fend off ravenous demons with your sterling grasp of Geography. That said, IF you can pass the checks, it’s a fun romp with a suitably high-power and high-stakes conclusion. The ‘successful’ endings DO make reference to your choices all throughout the trilogy. It’s just... getting there is hard, and may (?) be impossible for some. I strongly advise looking up a guide.

Though a game with such an expansive class variety may lack the individual details of a linear class system, the benefit of Lost Heir is the fact it has so many options. My suggestion, make a new series same universe; such as being the son or daughter of the player king/Queen. As a result your choices are passed on to them, class, vampirism or otherwise to a limited degree. Though the antagonist in the game can be a god rather than a mortal, after all the demon realm is similar to the divine realm. Why not a war between the heavens and hell, good and evil gods? It would be fitting the heir of the lost heir ascend to greater heights or stop a greater threat. Though that is just my thoughts. Improvements, the only improvements I can suggest; make the classes have more involvement in the story. Possibly a unique companion based on each class not just a follower. If the heir was a vampire lord, a vampire companion and more vampire related options. If a necromancer, a undead or other necromantic companion / encounters. A druid, a... you get the point. There are a lot of classes, which is amazing, I love it, now it's time to refine a bit more than add too the list of classes. Rather than doubling the classes, 1/4 more but over all more detail with the current and additional classes. So it feels less of you are the heir and have these abilities. Instead you are the (class) heir with (class) effecting the entire story rather than at determined moments. (I do understand that is a massive undertaking having to revise the story to follow each classes unique style and possibilities.)

I could never bring myself to give less than four stars on what, in total, is an impressive trilogy. The creator has put years and so much effort into its creation and I do adore the series... However, the final chapter has kind of fallen flat for me.... I don't know why I was expecting more character development out of our remaining companions; what I did receive on that front just seemed rushed and unexciting. The ending frustrated me as it seemed that I am having to truly manipulate my character in an unnatural way to receive any sort of satisfying ending (which I have not achieved yet....). All in all, as I said, I loved the series and will probably replay the first two... this one, not so much replay value for me.
