The gameplay in "Seed of Heroes" offers a unique blend of tile dodge mechanics and engaging combat, but some players find it limited due to the focus on movement and attack options. While the game features high replayability and enjoyable graphics, the complexity of boss-specific treasure rewards and various mechanics can be overwhelming, potentially hindering party building and upgrades. Overall, the gameplay is fun but may require a learning curve to fully appreciate its depth.
- “Seed of Heroes is an enjoyable game with a unique style and engaging tile dodge mechanics.”
- “An amazing spin on the survivors-like genre, with very high replayability and tons of fun. The additional layering of various mechanics at first might seem a little overwhelming, but when you start getting into it, it only increases the fun of creating an even stronger and more broken combo.”
- “Really nice graphics and dodging mechanics (like FF14/other MMOs).”
- “Right now, the gameplay feels a bit limited, as there are only options to move and attack.”
- “I understand the mechanic of having boss-specific treasure rewards, but it should be clearer which items drop from which bosses.”
- “Personally, I don’t like this mechanic, as it limits your ability to build your party, knowing you can’t fully upgrade everyone if you’re hunting for multiple boss-specific treasures.”
