Hero Online Review

leme start with the cons…

– limited mobility…
– not so good graphics…
– some unique/godly equipments are for rich gamers…
– lacks support from the GM’s…
– characters look the same…
– that’s all… 🙂

Pros:
– great skill system!!!! never seen anything like it except the Cabal OL. unique movements and sound effects (character shouts the skill name) for every skill…
– great look of the equipments!!!
– good community. from all over the world!
– pet system is cool too!

i’ll give it a 7…

fair enough right? i’m kind…. LOL 😀

Graphics: 6/10. The graphics of this game isnt great, but its good enough to look at. and if you zoom in, the character’s face is decent, not all squarish.

Community: 10/10. if you have a house, you’re good to go. houses/guilds in hero online are extremely helpful, and the people are nice. Without a house, Community = 2/10.

Sound: 10/10 Hero online has a very nice, ancient feel to it, with the old buildings and music. When the character is skilling, they say the name of that particular skill. I found it weird at first but then soon you’d feel bored if it was just quiet when you are skilling mobs.

Skill System: Skills in Hero Online are kinda like rewards. You “work” for skills, so it’s very rewarding. it’d be boring if u started out with skills with a level 1 character. The skills are all unique in their own way. Each skill has a different effect and sound. And your character moves a lot, too. For instance, a character rolls back and jumps in the air and strikes down with lightning.

Quests: Quests in Hero are interesting, at least for some. At level 1, you get a quest, and it’s a little intro of things. Level 2, it makes you go around and talk to the main NPCs. There is a quest for every level UNTIL level 36? It will skip on and off. You level up for like 3 levels and get one quest, and it continues. But there are also Legend quests and Cryptic Tale quests, which are quests that give you knowledge about Hero’s story. During the crpytic tale stories, at a certain point, music will come on.(It’s the music featured in the trailer of the couple that were in love. So the cryptic tale MAKES you feel like you are IN the game).

Leveling: Hero Online requires you to grind, a lot. BUT don’t look at your exp bar, that’ll make it seem like you’re gaining no exp! The grind is ok, until like lvl 50. It’s rewarding also. After every 50 kills, you get a reward. *can be chest, money, exp. etc.* But for every mob you kill, it’ll add up on the side of your screen and that’s your EXP BONUS. So the more you kill, the more exp you’ll get. Pretty Neat :D.

Small Extra: You can play Connect Four with other players. 🙂 *connect 5*

My Opinion?

I love playing Hero Online. I don’t usually go for the games with “mature-looking characters” but I don’t know why I got stuck on Hero. I like the old graphics, IDK why. The skill system is great, and I have a lot of friends in my house. *BombedCheese!* They’re helpful and having people to talk to makes it funner to play.
I don’t really like the GM’s atm. I don’t see any around, or and GA’s. Bad support, you could say. But they try to keep the game alive with more updates and events.

HERO IS THE BEST MMORPG I HAVE EVER PLAYED

Come join Hero Online and help keep the game alive! 😀

no for the people in game… so far I have had two people talk to me. and both of them are new to the game, which is a little bit of a turn off.. I mean I played sro and wow for many years and even at a high lvl I help new commers to understand the game enough to get through.. more and more mmos need to have helpfull people for the new noobies.

items are a bit expencive but dew to the huge spawn rates its not had to build up coin. the alchomy is just as crappy as SRO if anyone has played that..lol one of the quests is to add + to a wepon it failed 5 times on me and the matts for it can cost anywhere from 20k-200k depending on the person selling it.. or you can hope it drops when your grinding, for me it was ten leves for me to finish the quest. made me wanna cry..lol but all in all its an ok game so far,

now as for the toon selection, it can be summed up in one word. CRAP. you get to pick from 4 toons, and each has its own weapon. you can pick your class and what not as you lvl but you cant really change from an archer to a sword so to speak. the point system also is a little bit harder to understand they some mmos but not to bad.

I would have to say from my exp, I would say its kind of a cross of SRO, WOW and the old arcade game streetfighter..lol

I give this game a 8 out of 10,

This game boasts no superior graphics to the other Asian owned games. The company wants you to capitalize on their cash shop in order to become ‘the best player’.

Basically this game is home to many of the cash shop 1337 newbies that talk in leet speak. Honestly it makes me sick to my stomach to even review another one of this games. Can someone please just make a decent one?

Well here is a un-biased review about the game.

Graphics 4/10
Sound 4/10
Community 0/10
Innovation 2/10
Content 6/10

Overall 3/10 – Don’t play it.

I mean the faces, they just look like something sega would have.

but the graphics are good and the gameplay is really good i guess

and u can actually lvl fast if ur in a party and take on stronger monsters i got to 1dan (level 10) in about a day

so this is a game worth trying!!

Runescape from what I’ve seen, got nothing on this game. [My 10 year old Step-Son plays it, only because His computer can’t handle HERO Online. He also play Endless Online.]

And from what I’m told by my friends that play World of WarCraft (Pay to Own and Play), this game (HERO Online)[Totally FREE] is a good, side-line comparison.

Don’t get it twisted, by my use of the term [side-line]. What I meant by that is, side-by-side.

Why tell other people not to play this game, just because you have connection issues (possibly firewall), a bad router (which is the problem I’m having), or a computer that might need a little somethin somethin. [My poor Router keeps cutting out even before I had this game installed. Linksys is replacing it.]

What I suggest to those that have problems with this game, is to download it and install it on a few of your friend’s computers, that know how to work their firewall settings, and have a nice running computer, and broadband, without a bad router. Run the game and check it out.

Mainly, check the requirements before hand.

LvL’n is as fast as you make it.
People that have things going on other than this game, or those that play other games, are sure to lvl, much slower than the rest.

To those that haven’t played HERO Online, give things a chance for yourselves.

Also, remember this game isn’t that old. I don’t think it’s even a year old yet. It’s bound to have some bugs.

I haven’t come across any bugs, that would sway my decision, on how good this game is. Heck,… Battlefield 2 is considered a very good game, and its much older, and it still has it’s quirks.

PS. If they made it quick and easy to reach the highest lvl, this game would be dead in a heart-beat. (My opinion)
Its good for the game to slow down a bit at times. I feel it draws your eagerness. Then boom,… you get a big rush of faster lvl’n. Think of it like,… the thrill-of-the-ride. Or even being that one person that manages to find a quick way to lvl, while everyone else, is still lvl’n slow. [You might just get to payback on someone, that upset you when they had a higher lvl than you.]

I don’t see anything wrong with the graphics, as I’ve compared screenshots of other similair games,… (even the ones people always seem to want to mention, as better), and to me this game’s graphics are better, or either on par with them. See, I’m a 1st person shooter/driver/flyer gamer, and I like my game’s world to look really good (rich). I turn the graphics way up, and go 4 it. Same 4 the sound too. So, this game’s graphics is cool, by me.

(NFS CARBON, BATTLEFIELD 2, UT2004, IL2 STURMOVIK 1946 FORGOTTEN BATTLES, CALL OF DUTY, & LOADS MORE.)

This game doing what it does, and doing it FREE!!! ha!!!!!! Let’s see what you’d get from some of the Pay to Play, or even some of the other free games that really kinda put it out there that you need to pay some real cash for something like,…oh,… a pet.

For all that I give a standing ovation, plus a BIG FAT 10.

Maple Story makes you pay for that, plus some others. I know that Hero, has its ncash options, but its not going to hinder me from advancing, or keep pets, weapons, and some other items, out of my reach, if I choose not to pay. Most or all of the items I’ve seen that you have to pay for in the Hero Tavern, only last for a set period of time away, then it’s useless.

Come on folks! It virtually a FREE, FREE Game.

Oh! and not to mention the fact that there are games within this game you can play. (Take a break and play another game, while in the game).

I like the mounts alot that it has to offer for each class and especially the skills you get to use.

At some rare points it gets tough but I still love it and money is easy to make especially.

Quests are boring to most players,but i find them with great rewards in exp and in items…You got legacy”s to do which give you great items puts a twist on the game,they are long and very very well rewarding which makes you want to do them more.

The combat/fighting system is good not just the same move over and over(unless you use a bow) it has about 10-15 different attacks per weapon each changing once you get strong enough to wield.

@ exodian1 kill stealing isn”t a factor you get exp due to what damage you did to the monster.If in a team you get exp from kill not what you put into it so that way you can get power leveled.

Leveling isn”t best but it isn”t a level grind…Exp distribution is weird at certain levels but set that way for a purpose.

4 classes forgot what they were XD.
When your in pvp it is not always best to stand still and attack…If they summon pet to help them you gotta move away from it so that you don”t take extra damage.

The pet system is good. Your first pet will probably be a wolf due to it being the first one available.Once at level 20, you can buy a horse which will be your first mount. At level 23, you buy a mount for your class (each one has a unique mount).

Movement you can walk on water,fly over buildings,and get wind drift(runs really fast)which makes this game really unique.using up,down,left,and right to move or click(whichever you prefer).

The rewards system is complicated,but works very well.Hero Online utilizes a reward system that keeps track of how many monsters a player kills from log in to log out. This number will result in rewards of items, exp, and rank. With this system, hunting takes on a whole new level of purpose!

Hope you enjoyed this review.Look for other reviews by me.

I love martial arts, and this game does a good job with them. Definitely 100% better than its brother Legend of Ares (which I might still be playing if it wasn’t so full of bugs that if you played it honestly like I was doing, you’d just get your but kicked by those exploting the bugs to get double exp and duplicating items).

As others said however, once you hit level 20 or something like that, the grinding becomes unbarable. That’s what made me leave. Plus I am not sure the skill systems is well developed. I didn’t mind the community to be honest, most people I have played with were nice people.

Fix the grinding and the skill system and I might play this again.

Only 4 different characters to select, and no character appearance modifying, so everyone of the same level looks similar. There is only 3 attributes you modify: strength, dexterity and intelligence, and the skill points you allocate to your skills. So, not much choises to do there.

There is great initial interest to play, the game looking excoting and seein all the mounts and pets. But unfortunately the game is totally meaningless level grinding. Even that isn’t appealing.

I so hoped Hero would be good. It’s not. All 4 points go to the exotic and nice graphics.
