Pocket TacticsOffering an enjoyable experience in most of its aspects, Hero Emblems is proof that theres still room in the market for a great match-3 adventure. The games RPG elements work well with its well-implemented match-3 gameplay while the games visual and aural flourishes differentiate it from the pack.
AppAdviceThe twee aesthetic is going to be a deal-breaker for some, but behind it lies a surprising degree of craftsmanship that makes this a strong example of its genre, a lengthy and consistently joyous experience where the gameplays polish makes up for the games weaker elements.
---Hero Emblems is an addictive match-three RPG that is harder than it looks. If you are a fan of these types of games, but want something where it feels like youre making progress, and forces you to think ahead, then you have to check out Hero Emblems
GAF Impressions
Hero Emblems really is a superb game (game being the main word here, rather than a match-3 puzzler). My weekend was taken up entirely by it with more than 10 hours being played.
Really loving this game. You really can't treat the game like it's just a puzzle game. The RPG elements really set this one apart. It looks and feels like a true JRPG and it definitely is not afraid to kick your butt.
I can agree...that the story is nothing special. But the gameplay alone makes it an amazing game to me at least...This game takes skill and planning to win. It isn't the typical match 3 RPG like Puzzles & Dragons and the billion other games that try the combine the genres. It is very hard but...fair in that it can be beat if you put your mind to it. And,yeah, it feels great when you finally win a boss battle that's been driving you nuts.
And as cliched as the story and characters are, the animations and amount of polish also are fantastic.
It's the gameplay and strategy, however, that put this on the top of the heap for puzzle RPGs IMO.
It is an awesome game but beware, it's not casual at all.
It's a RPG first and foremost and the 'way to the boss' (you have always 5-10 encounters before the boss) is critical and must be played with great attention to build 5-match Emblems, or you will die (and start over with the initial loot).
The only casual thing in the game are the random encounters, which are pretty easy after a bit.

Best match 3 game since the original Puzzle Quest.
OMG! Hero Emblems is sooooooooooooo good! Such a great rpg/puzzle/brawler-mix!
