The Lost Heir

I had an absolute blast playing Lost Heir 1! Rich, fun, intricate and replayable story arcs make this one of my most enjoyable text based games I’ve played, in recent years! The relationship system is fantastic! I hope it leads to having a lover and not just a friend, because this game gives me hope that more mature themes can be played in deeper role playing games, such as this one. Loads of potential with the process of building friendships and relationships with many of the diverse characters! You can choose many hundreds of paths, each with different outcomes depending on your decision making! Some of the things that might be difficult for new RPG players is the item, money and relationship system. It requires a lot of practice and trial and error! You’ll fail a lot, at first! Secondly, the demon summoning seems very weak! It could have been an entire game in itself, if realized for that principal. It was that promising! I thought the demon relationships seemed quite sick! I would have loved engaging in demon battles with guards, bosses and monsters, out in the world! The Relationship system, the jewel of this game, is very well constructed and feels quite complex! Which is quite good! Combat needs a little more work, as hp and damage isn’t well represented later on. The strengths of this game are rested more with its story and relationship system! The inventory system is quite fantastic! Clean, robust and neat! Bravo! The accessibility is superb! I’ve played the entire game on Youtube! My channel GAME Double Tap! Has the full play through! Check it out, if you want! Awesome game and I look forward to more advancements, stories and game play elements! Keep it cheeky and fun! Thank you!

Great game but sometimes hard to maximize results. The implications for many decisions are not always obvious even when studying the scenario. Overall awesome.

Most excellent... absolutely brilliant...

It would be nice to be able to go back a page, if a mistake was made or wrong choice was picked, instead of having to start over again. Please consider for future update if possible.

This is an outstanding game. I’ve been playing since before 2 or 3 were even released and I love it. My only complaint is that for some reason it won’t let me purchase the legacy advantage. So, if I can get some help figuring that out, I would be overjoyed!

To be 100% honest I don’t really write reviews but I saw the Most recent review of this and actually upset me. This game is very good there is a lot of depth to it I’ve probably played through at least 30 to 40 times and I would say 26 of those times had something that I had never seen before or didn’t even realize was a possibility. There’s a lot a unique choices every single time that I played through why I couldn’t do something I went back on my next place he would try to figure out what I had to do to be able to do that. I recommended this to all of my friends who play dnd and have heard nothing but good things from them too. Outstanding job.

This game is pretty rough on the unprepared player; a blind playthrough will likely lose characters the first time through. My advice to early players is to choose Sir Grady as a mentor and become a Squire, which gives you good skills and a few freebies from time to time. Magic is tempting, but being a pure magician will bite you HARD in The Lost Heir 3, where physical attributes ARE needed not to die. P.S. The Legacy Advantage only can be bought through the Hosted Games app. It makes it significantly easier to hit the skill checks, but the added story only appears in The Lost Heir 1 (so far).

This is the first review I’ve ever written for a game out of my 9 years of gaming experience which emphasizes just how much this game disappointed me. This game is overrated. How did this game get a 4.8 rating? I’ve played 12 games by Hosted Games and the price to length ratio of this one is not worth it. I made it through the game in about 3 or 4 hours and I’m not the fastest reader. I’ve played through the game 3 times and I’ve been disappointed every time. I don’t know if I’m playing it wrong or something but bad things always happen and my character always loses in battle. Each time I played through I used a different class and went about things a different way correlating to my character’s class but I keep getting the same results. Also the stat system is terrible. You have to have very high stats in a certain area just to pass a simple check. I tried to be a spell sword in my first play through but learned that you can really only focus on one class. Also the reviews of the third game are bad meaning you won’t get a satisfying end to this series. If you’re looking for a game to get skip this one and get the “Samurai of Hyuga” series. That series is my favorite out of all the games I’ve played by “Hosted Games”.

When I bought this when it came out I thought I would read it once and I’d be done with it. I was wrong. I read this book and the whole trilogy dozens of times and I love this series. The one problem is that when I try to buy the legacy advantage it says the purchase failed. Otherwise, amazing game and great read worth taking time out of your day for! (If you can contact me about the legacy advantage I would appreciate it!)

I love the game, I keep playing it over and over with different scenarios, only problem is that I can’t buy the legacy upgrade, yet I can buy all the other upgrades on other games like this.
