8/10 (10/10 if you love cultivation and Chinese wuxia games) After trying several different cultivation and wuxia games, this one clicked with me the most. The combat system and skills are genuinely fun to use, and the world design—despite some repetitive enemies and layouts—feels well-crafted. While the city-building and cultivation mechanics are somewhat half-baked, they’re still enjoyable and add depth to the experience. The romance options are plentiful, though, as expected, they lack depth and strong writing. Despite its flaws, the game is incredibly addictive and fun to play. Your knowledge and achievements carry over to benefit your next character and subsequent runs, which adds a satisfying layer of progression. One significant drawback is the lack of a robust speed-up option. After going through the tutorial 40+ times, it becomes tiresome. Trying to speed-hack the game doesn’t help much either, apart from making tasks like farming and mining quicker. Even with these issues, I can’t recommend the game enough—it’s a must-try for fans of the genre.

I heavily recommend this game. It's amazing, and I expect to get many more hours of play in the future. Go in completely blind for your first play through except for this advice: When going to the first town accept the lewd old man's offer. This is intended as an extended tutorial effectively & without it the game becomes very difficult to play on a first time play through (on the "harder" difficulties, anyway), as he holds your hand to help you progress & complete an ending. Fans of Wuxia or people who enjoy exploratory RPG's will enjoy this game, just listen to the advice above so you don't get trolled by the Chinese like I did in my first playthrough.

Wow. I've had a wonderful time with this game, and I still plan to keep going after breaking through 100 hours. This is a pretty big deal for me, as games like this with with complex-ish stat systems, etc. tend to pretzel my poor, simple brain, despite my love for the systems regardless of my ability to break them well. So, I'm very tired as I write this, but I really, really want to just lay out some basic bullet point-y thoughts to support this game as much as I can. TL;DR If you like Wuxia games, get it. It's good. If you're a Sseth watcher, get it, it's 100% a game he'd make a video about. So, to lay out those simple thoughts of mine... - - - - - - This is a text heavy game, but it has plenty of gameplay, it's not a visual novel or anything. Just a lotta text-based dialogue. - Yes, the translation has been updated. It's much better than the vast majority of comments about it that you can find will say about it, because many, MANY of them (most of them, really) are talking about the pre-1.0 translation. It's far easier to understand now. I'll point out something that'll help peeps like me who got stuck on some weird wording. If someone ever talks about "those in the rivers and lakes", basically they're referring to a cultivator. Someone who does martial arts. Y'know, someone like you - lots of crazy cool powers, etc. Anyway, the translation's just fine! It can sound stilted and weird at times, but it's completely serviceable and really isn't even a quarter as bad as some people seem to insist that it is. The only areas where it doesn't work is the aforementioned "those of rivers and lakes" thing, which as soon as you know what that means it becomes a non-issue, and the other situation it doesn't really work is in the quizzes you can take and some riddle stuff that comes off weird. The quizzes/tests rely on answers you really just don't have a way to answer naturally if you aren't familiar with chinese literature, but there's steam guides to tell you what answers to pick, so it evens out! These are a very small part of the game, so don't worry. - Combat is great fun! - If you like Fire Emblem / Final Fantasy Tactics / etc., that sorta vein of grid-based turn-based combat, this game'll likely scratch an itch for you. Lots of things to level of, lots of fighting styles to choose from, lots of gear, lots of replayability as a result. - Story has several paths to take and thus has several playthroughs' worth of runs to get at LEAST the major endings! - There's several endings, three major factions you can join to reach multiple endings, and lots of "minor" endings to get that aren't considered end game states, but are rather just big accomplishments with special splash screens to commemorate them. I've spent this 100 hours doing two playthroughs, and have more to go! - Game is built to be replayed. - There's a homestead you'll unlock that is shared between every character you make, encouraging repeat playthroughs! The homestead enables you to do things like leave behind legendary weapons and armor for your next playthrough to use, pass on martial arts you've mastered to new characters so they don't have to do acquire that martial art the normal way on next playthrough, etc. Atop this, the game's chock full of achievements for doing all sorts of things. Every achievement gives you points which can be spent on starting traits and stats for your next character, and thus, every new character is stronger than the last. There's also traits that are locked behind getting certain achievements and thus you'll have goals every playthrough, things to unlock for future runs that you think look fun! Many, many hours to be had. - This game is very, very obviously made with an unfathomable amount of heart, and love for Wuxia as a whole.- I don't really know how to elaborate on this point beyond simply repeating what I just said, but seriously, what a lovely, charming game. Its developers clearly care, and care a lot. - Story's simply fun, but not remotely deep. - As stated, the story's not a particularly deep or enthralling one, but I don't say that as an insult.The game's very much a playground with a general overarching war rearing its ugly head for you to get involved in in some way, and you can choose who to join during it. There's lots of Sects to join that have their own tasks and mini-storylines though! So you're NOT going to feel like every playthrough's the same, I promise you that! Lots of variation for fun! - The game gets lots of updates and has been getting supported since launch, and supported heavily! - These devs clearly care about what they've made and doubly care about you actually having a good time playing their product. Their main menu straight-up tells you to just refund the game within two hours if it's not to your taste - they're very honest, and the language barrier hasn't prevented them from taking aboard feedback at a great pace. This is a game made with love! - - - - - All in all, do I recommend Hero's Adventure: Road to Passion? Good lord yes. So yes. PLEASE support developers like this, the game is so ungodly cheap for the sheer amount of hours you can get from it, I'm shocked that it's $18 USD at the time of writing this review. Don't even wait for a sale, just get it + the Her Vanishing Silhouette DLC (although I recommend saving its content for a second playthrough.) Not only do these devs deserve it, but it really is worth full price for what you pay. More than that, honestly - this is NOT what I think of when I think "20 dollar game", I think of much cheaper, less rich, and much thinner on content games than this when I think "20 dollar game". This game is wonderful. Please, at the very least, give it a shot if it's of even passing interest to you, and try not to be wildly picky about tiny details like typos or the UI overlapping in sparse places due to the english text being harder to fit into everything than the intended chinese text. I promise, regardless of other games having typos and UI issues because they simply don't care, that is NOT the case here. This game is not remotely shovelware, or anything of the sort. (I know that last bit may sound worrying but genuinely, it's just that there's some overlapping text when you do stuff like gather herbs or chop wood or fish, etc., the tool durability and chance of breaking, etc. text overlaps 'cause english isn't fit as finely into the box as chinese is. That's all - nothing is broken because of the translation, it just looks weird in those very minor spots.) Anyway, I've rambled on enough, I think - hopefully this stream of consciousness helped you decide. I hope it did! This game's lovely and I really, really enjoyed the 100 hours I've played - and I plan to play more! That's a LOT for a game that ran me like 20 bucks with the DLC included!

2024 hasn't been a very good year for video games. Many disappointements, many occurences of corporate greed, it seems we just can't catch a break. But in the middle of that, there are games which are worth praising coming from directions we didn't expect. Road to Passion is one of them. I got a bit on an impulse, as it seemed to be a nice Wuxia game with tactical turn by turn combat. For people not in the know, the Wuxia genre refers to stories in ancient chinese settings heavily martial arts focused. It's not a very popular genre in the west, although it's getting more known with every passing day. In China, it's pretty huge with a long tradition of games which paved the way to what we have right now. Road to Passion offers a lot of things. The art is very good and charming for an isometric fake 3D game, and coupled with the music, it contributes to render the ambiance perfectly(although the music can be repetitive fast). The gameplay system is quite different from what western RPGs are used to, although there are some similarities, instead adopting a system which is more on par with the Wuxia genre as a whole. Coming from a western games background may requires you a bit of adaptation, but if you have played Wuxia games before you should be able to adapt perfectly. Rather than having a central story, the game has multiple intercrossing ones, which you will get to follow or not depending of which martial sect you wish to join and be loyal to(or betray!), and which bit powers you wish to support or ignore. You have a big freedom in what you can do, and the way you want to play, although there is a particular sect which is pretty much your beginner sect, and will allow you to experience the game with some comfortable assistance to let you know what is has to offer while also allowing you to follow a story fitting to your ambitions. You can be a budhist monk. You can be a noble bandit. You can be a noble hero righting wrongs. You can even manage to become Emperor if you play your cards right. The translation is honestly not very good, but it's serviceable enough that you understand the big ideas. The english translation was and is mostly fanmade, and still need a lot of work. You will need to accept this if you wish to enjoy the game, but as I said, with the context and a bit of Wuxia experience, you will understand most of what is being said. The game also has a lot of replayability. Because there are a lot of sects to join, different story paths and story lines, different weapons to use and master, and an in-built system to carry over some things from one run to the next, you can experience different things each time. With 4 regular levels of difficulty and a special difficulty mode which is customisable to provide an even higher challenge suiting your needs, you also have ways to test your understanding of the game all while providing a challenge as you progressively get stronger characters to start a run with. At the time of writing I'm at my third run through the game and I'm looking forward to more runs to try more things. I'm still not bored, and I still want to play more. A friend saw me play the game, got intrigued by it, got it and is now as addicted as I am. So for me it's probably so far my game of 2024. I've spent almost 200 hours on it at that point, and I want to play it more. It doesn't feel like a chore like when I play others games. I can return to this game, and know I will have a mostly relaxing good time. In addition to that it seems like the devs are still adding new content relatively regularly, so we may get more to do as time passes. Pretty good value if you ask me!
