The Lost Heir 3: Demon War

It's really difficult to rate this game. I have very mixed feelings. On one side - I'm happy that I've played it and the story is outstanding. On other side - lack of save/load ability breaks everything. Yes, I understand that when you cannot save/load at any random place makes you super responsible for your choices. But it just doesn't work for games of such lenght!!!!! If you're bringing a character from 1st part to 2nd, then from 2nd to 3rd - means you have spent many many hours of playing/reading. And what do you get at the end? Any wrong move, that might be not so obvious, leads to a terrible ending, that makes you feel "why did I spent so much time on it and struggled that hard to get so sh..ty ending"??? That's what people are complaing about in the comments. And I agree! You should not remove save/load from a story of such scale! I'm lucky that I found a hack, a workaround and manually saved files, but will everyone do the same? I doubt. Now... I don't know if I can recommend it or not. The story is amazing and very interactive. So, yes, I recommend. But first read on other forums how to do your own save/load. And do it as offten as you can (you will need to restart the app each time, btw). Otherwise you will get a terrible ending with 99%

The series as a whole before the individual game The series is great. However, their is a warning, the set of games, especially the last one, are harder than most of these type of games. The writing is great, the stats carry over between games, different events can happen based on the stats you have or what classes you choose. However, for your first run, expect to fail. However, there is a lot of replay value in these games and they are very enjoyable. This last game is the climactic conclusion to the story. Your character will learn about the demons and search for an artifact to fight them before the big final battle. Once again, more classes, bringing the total amount of classes your character can be to a whopping 35 classes. The mechanic of managing the ship, which helps bring you to the artifact, is not as fun or as extensive as managing the army in the previous game. There is however, a major plot thing that can be fun at the end. [spoiler] After you find the artifact, your character has to turn himself into a demon so he/she can perminantly kill other demons. Failing checks in this part can cause your character to become more demonic, giving bonuses but also getting you closer to bad endings. [/spoiler] There are several endings in this game, of which there are (I think) 2 good endings and 6 bad ones. That said, I really like the game. It does some interesting things that many of these games don't try, and still offers a lot of choice for playstyle.

I liked the game but I feel like it's the weakest of the series a lot of the stuff leading up to the final few chapters lacked impact. LIke the whole arc with the natives was kind of uninteresting. I think the game would have been better if more attention had been given to the demon war itself maybe have some more vairance in the way you fight the war. I still enjoyed it though I just think it could have been better.

A satisfying ending to the trilogy.

Awesome final part.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying to play was not fun to read or play.

Best choose-your-own-adventure series I've ever played. Pretty standard fantasy faire, but it's a full on D&D style adventure from low levels (Lost Heir 1) through High level crazy high-fantasy (lost heir 3). Fans of Baldur's Gate Trilogy should check this out. Lovely work.

Fun Game, But the stats have to be almost maxed in order to do most of the skill checks

I LOVE These types of games, but wow. This game's skill Checks are absolutely Bananas. You HAVE TO specialize in 1 class seeing as there is as much as 5 tiers as far as i know maybe more. (THE STORY IS FANTASTIC, The "Game" aspect is like darksouls)

difficult, but good. I found this game actually made me go back into the previous games to remake new characters with new class/prestige class combos which I normally never have to do for games like this. if you like replaying these stories, then you will like this game, If you want to win everything in one go, you probably won't like it very much.
