The Lost Heir: The Fall of Daria reviews

1. Pull your mighty sword. And kill the demon. 2. Use your magic. And kill the demon. 3. Use your unarmed combat skills. And kill the demon. "You click 1" You pull your mighty sword. But dropping it on foot and fall out the window. Game Over. ??? You play the whole damn game and this time click on 3. You attack with a combo of punches and kicks. Oh, it was nice to be scratched. Says Demon and eat you. ????

Classic "Choose your Adventure" with stats and lots and lots of text. No illustrations or sounds/music. The Story is not bad and not very long. You play as a Prince/Princess and you can also choose the sex of your companions at their first appearance, and they will change the names of the type Karl/Carl. From a peaceful life at the Palace, everything goes to the fall of the kingdom, the death of the family, the escape of the Heir (you) and life in the wilderness, until the age of 18 and it is not time to look for adventure (and Revenge) on all their bumps, and then there is the protection of caravans and the study of ruins and much Another. In Terms of stats, the game is fairly balanced: The Magician, the Thief, and the Bard have their way. At the same time, classically for role-playing: The pursuit of all the hares are not in the honor, you can pump 2-4 skill to the maximum for one pass, but try more and can go out, that you know a little bit, but intelligently do not cope with anything, but because of the test. Controversial points that can spoil the game or not:-The game has no saves, except the auto save after each choice. Something went wrong, and it will be necessary to replay from the beginning. Try to make one choice, and then boot and choose another here will not come. This can help you to immerse yourself in the game, and to torture you, if you try to achieve a certain result-you can not always guess what leads each choice, especially when it comes to checking stats. Generally, it is usually obvious which stat is pumped or what will affect success, but here is to predict how much dexterity/strength/knowledge/willpower, etc. need not come out. On the one hand, again, immersion (call an unknown demon and you already know what strength he is and whether you will be able to control it? He is unknown!), on the other-without the saves it may end badly. -The Lost Heir is a trilogy of three book-games and The Fall of Daria-the first of them. Two Other games should be purchased separately (at the time of writing the third has not yet come out) In general, I liked the game: flexible, interesting system and a lot of secrets in anticipation, when you find them.
