The Lost Heir 3: Demon War

Got this in a bundle with the two other chapters, and you cannot simply play the story with one character from start to end. Instead, after each chapter it will spam you with ads and a survey, and demands you create an account with your email, so you have access to your progress in the next chapter, but only if you go through a manual process several times for each new play-through. If you do not create an account it will refuse you access to your progress for the later chapters, robbing your time. Each chapter must be started as a separate game, which is fairly disappointing. So then you have to start from scratch with a generic character & set of decisions, and missing content. Or cave in and bow to the publisher's whims. Playing from scratch in chapters 2 and 3 makes for an extremely lacking experience. - the game misleadingly advertises seamless game experience - the game contains hidden cost and hidden barriers apparently in violation with EU law - the store page fails to mention the mandatory account creation needed for this game to work - the games demands user email credentials to work without mentioning that anywhere - the game does not deliver the bought content As the game has no trouble importing old save files into the correct folder for the next chapter automatically, there is simply no need for it to use a publisher's website to upload and download save files. I'm always ready to attribute stupidity before malice, but this looks like a proper mess. For anyone who expects a working product without strings attached, do not buy this. Anyone who doesn't mind paying double, first in money then in email and extra work, it's not too bad. There's some good story, it's just way too difficult, because they jacked up difficulty so you buy their DLC and pay triple. If they fix the save system and some bugs, this could be an entertaining game.

As the other two, wonderful. Actually I think this is the best of the three for a few reasons... It feels deeper - you keep having new things happening, new places... it is nice. And the number-balancing aren't as harsh. Honestly you can mostly forget about them and actually role-play, since your numbers are all what they should be from 1-2, which feels wonderful. I will say that given its length and ABSOLUTELY EVIL LACK OF A SAVE SYSTEM I pretty much kept a walkthrough open. Picked what I'd like to do but before committing I'd just check there. Not how I like to play but it was either that or one miss-click bad-ending and I have to spend 20 min mindlessly reclicking everything to get to the same place, and hoping I don't make a mistake. Which sucks and is boring. So.... walkthrough open, the story was fantastic, felt suitably heroic / villany, and the ending was deliciously climactic. Love it :D

This is one of those games that can be played stand alone, but would be better and make more sense if played with the other two games in the series. If played stand alone, then the game would seem rushed and the stats gained would not be as good. In fact, if played just stand alone, it would seem rushed and terrible. If played with the other two games it is a lot better. For best results, one must play with the other two games and import the character made. If I were to say one thing about this game that does not hold up well, whether stand alone or with the other two games, it would be the tournament. I managed to make a character with high stats and able to use most weapons. Despite that, I lost in the second round. I had a strength of 179, and the other person had a strength of 27. After the roll, I lost with a strength of 17 versus the opponent's 89. To get certain endings. one had to craft a character all through the three games to get the stats needed to gain the certain endings. The multi classing needed keeps from going pure one class very well, or even the way one wants to play. To make it so that any sort of play through can get any ending, minus the obvious alignment of good or evil, is something that I find to be a bummer in and of itself. Even so, I find it funny how one can get a 'Good' ending by being a Dark Knight with 100 percent citizen fear, all the while worshiping an evil god and being an immortal demon.

A lot more meandering than the first 2 games. The whole first couple acts (Back to School and One Piece Light) felt kinda divorced from what I was interested about in this series. Last act is pretty cool tho, and I like seeing your allies joining you to finish the fight. Ah... could have been better. But I still enjoyed the game aspects of the gamebook, and I like that checks got harder and were often multi skill checks. A lot of the classes get some neat uses.

Rules keep changing and its impossible to make the story work. i quit before the end.
