Critic reviews
- 5.0If Valthirian Arc: Hero School Story was a premium tablet game, it would make a lot more sense than being a console title, especially since you could be left waiting for ages. Combat is simple enough for touch-screen controls, and the school section would have greatly benefited from them on the Switch version. It’s honestly a super lackluster game that tries to do too many things, and does none of them particularly badly, but also none of them are particularly inspired.
- A shallow attempt at a management simulator that looks promising, but rewards your patience with an empty world, a lack of features that would make the game fun and a completely joyless cast of characters. Avoid!
- 8.0Valthirian Arc: Hero School Story is one of those strange games that can easily consume hours of your time in one sitting. The strange mix of management and adventure makes for a fun distraction. The graphics are cute, the music is good, and the characters are charming if a little odd. If you want something fun to dip in and out of instead of a monumental task, then this may well be what you are looking for.
- 6.5Schulausbau, Charakterpflege und Beutehatz wissen zu motivieren, Story, Technik und Inszenierung sind hingegen bescheiden, der Spielablauf sehr wiederholungsanfällig und die deutsche Übersetzung schlampig. Zwischendurch macht der Posten als Rektor trotzdem Laune, auf Dauer sind die Möglichkeiten aber einfach zu begrenzt. Auch Mehrspieler-Unterstützung wird leider nicht geboten.
