There is an extended developer preview for Heroes of Ruin that you can find after the break.

    Judging by the lack of comments for this game I fear it is going to flop, despite possibly being one of the best exclusive games for 3DS.

    There’s more to Nintendo systems than just Mario, Animal Crossing and Pokemon games, you know that don’t you?

    Hypocrits the lot of you, you ask for new IP’s then when they do come along you ignore them, all because they don’t have an established brand name in the title.

    • SakuMo

      Except this isn’t a Nintendo IP? Last I checked, it was Square.

    • Minol

      I normally don’t comment on these post but the hate towards you is so strong that I felt I must.

      1. WTF are you talking about? How the hell is it a flop if it hasn’t been released yet? “Lack of comments”? What the hell is that supposed to mean?
      2. This isn’t a Nintendo IP, its being developed by n-Space and published by Square Enix. Get your facts straight.
      3. Again, no one is ignoring it! I’ve been waiting for this game for months and so have many of the people I know
      4. Just GTFO

      You do know that you are the first comment in the first hour during Midnight on this blog.

      You stupid idiot.

      You can’t make the FIRST COMMENT, and say that no one is commenting, just because it is the first 15 minutes of a new post.

    • Colin Unger

      I think it will sell at least 200,000 copies which I would consider a success.

  • Joseph D

    This could be one of the most epic 3ds games ever!

    • sadsd

      I can’t wait for this game!!!

  • MM-Royalninja

    Im buying this game cuz i LOVE DUNGEON GAMES!But If they make a game like FATE on the 3ds befor this game then i will buy that !WHy?Becouse of the amount weapon’s and just the game’s art is preaty cool! But if N-space wants to be beter than FATE!they should let us go into other peoples houses and like every time you start you start in some village with your small house were your hole weapon -power-item collection is!now that would be a awsome game!

    • WazSupChad

      Well the 3ds is not that powerful your thinking of games like Fable or Dragon Age Origins but that would be cool.

    • MM-Royalninja

      @WazSupChad Yeah thats why Im 90% sure that im getting this game:)But I thinkThe 3ds could do a lot better !

    • Belinni

      I might buy this game as I haven’t had a dungeon crawler game for a long time. Also I miss Baldur’s Gate..

      I have heard however that the people behind Baldur’s Gate despise Nintendo so there’s no chance of ever seeing a new entry in that series for the 3DS or the Wii U.

  • WazSupChad

    I never played final fantasy online. I want to try I demo of this first. Also isn’t Square Enix just the publisher not the people that made this game not sure though.

  • MM-Royalninja

    Oh and I wachd this vid 2 days ago!!!

  • Jonathan

    This game is generic in every sense of the word.

    It does nothing new to what other MUDs (Multi-User Dungeon games) such as Diablo and Phantasy Star Online have been doing over the past decade.

    Don’t believe me? I’ll break it down then.

    —–

    Story

    First of all, there is no worthwhile storyline in this package. The story of this game is absolutely ridiculous. I’ll quote it directly from the website just to show how ridiculous it really is.

    “War raged for over a hundred years until strong, powerful Lords emerged from the fighting to bring a fragile peace to the land. This peace is threatened when one of the Lords, Ataraxis, ruler of the city of Nexus, is taken ill by a deadly curse. A call is sent out, promising rewards beyond measure for anyone who finds a cure.”

    Let me get this straight…

    The entire point of us mercilessly mowing down anything that comes in our way is to find a cure for some paraplegic king of a city that no one cares about?! REALLY!?

    Compare that to the epic storyline of Phantasy Star Online (a game made more than 10 years ago) or Diablo 1 and 2 (also more than 10 years old) and come back to tell me just how “amazingly epic” this game’s story really is.

    —–

    Gameplay

    I know a lot of people would start on me for this, but when your game relies on its gameplay mechanics more than anything else within the MUD genre of games, the combat better be good.

    However, that’s not the case with Heroes of Ruin.

    Most of the game you will spend your time using the same standard attack moves, using only a few of the spells at your disposal to assist you in battle. See the IGN Preview if you don’t believe me: http://www.ign.com/videos/2012/04/03/heroes-of-ruin-video-preview

    ^ As one of the people comment on the video, Audrey in the video explains that you shouldn’t expect to get very far by spamming the attack button (which is ironically what she does for the length of the video).

    Another gameplay issue (and this is a big one) is the framerate and camera controls present in teh game. First of all, the framerate dips far below 30 FPS when battles heat up or certain skills are used. Depending on how low the framerate goes below, it can make or a break a game, and here it clearly breaks the game. Another issue rising from people playing the game is that the camera is horrendous during gameplay.

    Sure, the game has fully supported voice chat and online multiplayer to look forward to, but when a game is as ridiculously obscure as Heroes of Ruin, I’d be surprised to find anyone who even remotely cares to join you during online play.

    —–

    Graphics

    Simply put, the environments in Heroes of Ruin look decent. However, when compared with the muddy character models and the overall butt-ugly creature designs, one must think why this game is still receiving support in the graphics spectrum.

    Don’t bring that bs that this game “doesn’t need good graphics.” In this day and age, yes, a game’s quality is also defined by the overall art style, character designs, and in-game graphics. I don’t think people would want a Diablo clone that doesn’t even come remotely close to Blizzard’s Diablo 3.

    As said before, this game is butt ugly. People who are blinded by the upscaled screenshots n-Space have been releasing from their website are in an even worse position if they think otherwise.

    —–

    Overall

    This game would have been great—if it were released last year during the Nintendo 3DS’ summer drought.

    Right now, we have big heavy hitters out on the Nintendo 3DS’ market, including titles such as Mario Kart 7, Kid Icarus: Uprising, Super Mario 3D Land, Resident Evil: Revelations, and even the en route Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance and Mario Tennis Open games. On top of that, a large number of games may still be unannounced until E3 rolls its head in our direction for the Nintendo 3DS on top of what already came out for the system.

    You guys want to know what I think?

    Heroes of Ruin is much like puke. It is nasty and leaves a strong aftertaste for days. It’s not worth one more minute of my time to bother with, and I feel sorry for anyone who gets suckered into playing this game.

  • http://hybrilynx.net/ Hybrilynx

    bleh. i dont see anything unique about this game, that makes it any different then any other old-days theme shooter, thing game. it just reminds my of that warcraft thing and that is boring.

    • WazSupChad

      Its not a shooter its more like wow or diablo not cod.

    • revolution5268

      it not fps

  • http://2.gravatar.com/avatar/82d0121b56b948162fc26ff983ad5bfe?size=420 miguelman

    this game will rule

    • Boosos

      In my opinion, I’m so not buying this game, why have a 3ds MMORPG when you can play one for free. Kid icarus Uprising is waaay better.

    • RIVER

      Dude, the game is out yet so you haven’t even played it, you just can’t judge from a video or two.

      Besides, I hope it’ll be great, the idea of the online multiplayer is awesome and the ability to speak friends/non-friends online is even better!

    • Hmm

      There are Diablo Clones online for free, with the same quality of Diablo or even better. Why would anyone pay for a game like this, if they can play for free and have unlimited content with patches..like forever lol.

      I bet these guys will make you pay for DLC..that’s disgusting.

  • Han Solo

    I’ve been dying to get this game from day 1.

    “despite possibly being one of the best exclusive games for 3DS.”

    if that’s truly the case, that’s just sad.

  • x3100owner

    i wonder when will we say 3DS game with great graphics after revelations ?

  • Jubei-X

    I will buy this game on release day. The preorder price is fantastic as well, so what remains, is meeting all of you online when we form the “Fellowship of Heroes”!

  • Ataraxia

    Sweet jesus I want this game… I’ve only really just started playing dungeon crawler games but this looks so good… T_T

  • Spazzy Cactus

    • revolution5268

      ?

  • Alpha3ds

    This game will gather a solid fan base with time, just wait and see.
    It’s an awesome project and even if N-Space doesnt get everything right with it, i’m shure we’ll have a game that will be talked through all the gaming blogs and forums out there.
    I predict sales well above 250K before christmas, just in Europe.

  • Hunter

    I check this blog everyday, yet I still don’t have a 3DS. I think this game has truly convinced me to get one.

  • 3DS IS AMAZING!

    hey guys, plz read. off topic though.

    On amazon, the cosmo black 3ds is like 165 dollars! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002I096AA/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&seller=

  • AceOfhearts

    O HAI THERE MR TROLL
    On a serious note, you just came to this site to say anti-3DS comments. How can you judge the gameplay if you only watched a 2 minute video?
    And it’s just like a PS3 fanboy to judge a game almost solely on graphics, News flash, graphics don’t make a good game. And this game’s graphics aren’t terrible.

    You claim the Vita is getting so many good, new games. What games are you talking about? All I can see is Little Big Planet and Killzone.

    Also, you seem to have so much garbage with you. Why don’t you take it out?

  • cm93

    didn’t you just post that a while ago?

    wow, i guess you a sad life

    i feel sorry for you
