Class of Heroes: Anniversary Edition

Slow but satisfying progression. It's taken me about 3h of tentatively dipping into the novice dungeon to be able to reliably explore there, but every level up feels impactful and every new piece of gear makes a big difference. A monster dropped a +7 sling, and now my thief is tearing up enemies from the back row.

元になったwizの派生作品（エルミナージュとジェネレーションエクス）をプレイ済 根っこが一緒なのでほぼ同じだなぁといった感じでした。 道具の持てる数は少ないが、捨ててもごみ箱（ダンジョン入り口の魔法球から中身を取り出せる）に100個まで入るので とりあえず拾った物は捨てて、町に戻ってから取り出して整理しましょう。 昔の作品なのでUIが不便（特に錬金）だが、そこさえ耐えれるならオススメはできるかな。

[h1]某有名タイトルの劣化クローン[/h1] PSP版でも遊んでいたが、懐古商法にまんまと釣られて購入。 元が元だけに光るモノはあるのだが、明らかに劣化クローン。 競合は「世界樹の迷宮」シリーズだが、はっきり言って完成度はあちらの方が上だ。 本作は全体的な雰囲気がキャラグラを筆頭に、可愛い・ほのぼの方向に寄せられているのが特徴。 ちなみにジャンルとしてはRPGだがストーリー性はあっさりどころか無味。 即ち、大部分が「プレイヤーの想像妄想にお任せします」ということである。 一言でいうなら「ウチの子達でダンジョン攻略しよう！」である。 要するに、どれだけ自キャラ達に設定を盛り、妄想でカバーできるかが肝。 個人的に、昨今の壮大な～重厚な～感動の～といった売り文句のストーリーが合わず、 異物感に苦しみ悶える事になってしまうので、無味無臭のストーリーは個人的には長所ですらある。 ゲームシステムそのものは金字塔とも言える作品から[strike]パクって[/strike]受け継いでいるので、 バランスはともかく、ダンジョンクローラーとしては遊べるレベルだと考えている。（個人差あり） オススメするかと言われれば「NO」と即答する。 最初の「アクワイア！」や「ゼロディブ！」の音量がコントロール出来るようにならんかな…。

Class of Heroes: Anniversary Edition, developed by Zerodiv and published by PQube and ACQUIRE Corp., is a deliberate return to a style of role-playing game design that modern releases rarely attempt to replicate without compromise. It is unapologetically rooted in classic dungeon crawler traditions, presenting an experience that values careful planning, patience, and long-term commitment over accessibility or immediate reward. From the moment you begin assembling your party, it becomes clear that the game expects players to adapt to its systems rather than the other way around. The core gameplay revolves around building and managing a party of adventurers drawn from a variety of races and classes, each with distinct strengths and limitations. This initial setup is more than a formality, as early decisions have a lasting impact on how effectively your group performs in the long run. Balancing offense, defense, and support roles becomes essential, especially as the difficulty ramps up. The game offers a level of customization that feels both rewarding and intimidating, particularly for players unfamiliar with this style of RPG, where optimization is often the difference between steady progress and repeated failure. Exploration takes place within sprawling, grid-based dungeons that emphasize methodical movement and constant awareness. Every step carries risk, whether it comes from hidden traps, unexpected enemy encounters, or the simple danger of venturing too far without adequate preparation. The design encourages players to map out their surroundings, manage resources carefully, and know when to retreat. This creates a constant sense of tension, as even minor mistakes can lead to significant setbacks. Progress feels earned, but it often comes at the cost of repetition and cautious play. Combat operates within a turn-based system that prioritizes positioning and resource management. Party members are arranged in formations that determine their effectiveness in battle, requiring players to think strategically about who takes damage and who provides support. While the mechanics themselves are straightforward, the frequency of encounters can make battles feel routine over time. Advancement often depends on grinding through these encounters to strengthen your party, which reinforces the game’s slow and deliberate pacing but may test the patience of those looking for more varied or dynamic combat. The academy setting serves as a central hub where players prepare for their next expedition, offering a place to manage equipment, recruit new members, and recover from the dangers of the dungeon. This structure provides a sense of continuity and progression, even as the gameplay itself remains focused on repeated excursions into hazardous environments. While the narrative elements are minimal, the setting adds a light thematic layer that frames the player’s journey without becoming a dominant focus. Visually, the game maintains a style that reflects its origins, with simple environments and character designs that prioritize clarity over detail. While this approach may appear dated compared to modern standards, it supports the gameplay by ensuring that important elements remain easy to identify. The interface, though improved in some respects, can still feel cumbersome, particularly when navigating menus or managing inventory, which can occasionally interrupt the flow of the experience. Audio design follows a similar philosophy, providing functional background music and sound effects that complement the atmosphere without drawing attention to themselves. The soundtrack supports the sense of exploration and tension but does not stand out as a defining feature. Instead, it serves as a subtle accompaniment to the game’s more prominent mechanics. One of the most defining characteristics of Class of Heroes: Anniversary Edition is its uncompromising difficulty. The game offers little in the way of safety nets, and mistakes can have lasting consequences. Losing progress or even party members is a real possibility, which heightens the stakes of every decision. This design will appeal to players who enjoy challenging, system-driven experiences, but it may feel punishing or outdated to those accustomed to more forgiving mechanics. Despite these challenges, the game manages to deliver a sense of satisfaction that comes from overcoming its demands. It rewards persistence and careful planning, offering a progression system that feels meaningful even when it requires significant time investment. However, its reliance on repetition, limited narrative, and lack of modern conveniences may limit its appeal to a broader audience. In the end, Class of Heroes: Anniversary Edition is a faithful representation of classic dungeon crawling, offering depth and challenge for those willing to engage with its systems. It does not attempt to modernize or simplify its design, instead embracing the strengths and flaws of its origins. For players who appreciate methodical gameplay and are willing to invest the time needed to master its mechanics, it provides a rewarding, if demanding, experience. Rating: 7/10

歯ごたえがある

エンカウントの多さ、モンスによる状態異常の多さ（恐怖、魔法無効による常時効果魔法の解除）、魔法無効地帯の点在の多さ MAPのギミックも一方通行や回り道で無駄な時間をかけるものばかり。 非常に意地が悪い。 PSP版クリアしたはずなんだが、こんなにストレスがたまるのは年をとったからなのか…

うーん。ストレスが溜まる劣化Wiz。 難しさと悪意を勘違いしたマップ、細かい操作性の悪さ、最悪の錬金システム。 おすすめは出来ないな・・・

yup

Wizardryライクのゲームです 今はWizardry 1のリメイクが出ていますし、世界樹の迷宮も出ているので勧めるか悩みましたが 勧めるほうに一寸だけ傾いた感じです Wizardry 1リメイクのクリア後にととモノをやってます 不親切なところまでWizをまねなくても良かったのにと思う出来です Wizardryを知っていれば、ジョブは大体同じなので違いはロードと忍者は男女で別ジョブと 超術士と狩人と錬金術師が追加くらい？ 加齢がないため、休憩とジョブチェンジはやりたい放題 魔法もWizの魔法に大体似ているためなんとなくわかります 説明書がないため、スタミナって何？（実績解除の方法がわからない）とか 戦闘時のログがボタン押すまで進まないため戦闘回数が増えるたびに面倒になる（Wiz1リメイクはログは止まらないで流れていく）とか微妙にストレスがたまる

Lovely Wizardry-like game. The only thing I find it very annoying is there is no way to go to Title Menu and reload game, must restart the app.
