An heroic effort
If Heroes of Ruin was judged purely on the level of ambition and functionality on display, it would be hailed as the finest title on 3DS. It takes the capabilities of the handheld and attempts to deliver a fully flavoured action RPG, with all of the online play and functionality that gamers could conceivably demand of a home console...

First Impressions Heroes of Ruin
To arms!
There haven't been many new franchises so far in 3DS's short life so far, but RPG masters Square Enix and handheld specialists n-Space are busy preparing a very promising new IP for release in 2012: Heroes of Ruin. We recently went hands-on with the game, and from our early impressions it's one that should hit your radar. From the off it's...
About The Game
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.
Four mercenaries, each with their own strengths, weaknesses and motivations answer the call. One uses forbidden spells to rain death on her foes, one has guns and bombs to blast his way through, another has a mighty sword capable of slicing through entire packs of enemies, and one other gains strength from savagely tearing through anything that stands in his way with brutal, bladed fists.

its SqEn and it looks like Dungeon siege, might be fun. DS3 was on the 360.
online co op ?
This might be really fun. I'm keeping my eye on it. :3
look cool
I'm going to explode from the awesomeness! I want this game!
This looks EXTREMELY interesting. Looks awesome!
Gonna keep my eye on this one
Mayoman95 your avatar is the zombie from Scary Maze, anyway
This looks quite good
Them PURPLE monsters looks like one of the Skylanders
This game looks pretty good. One of the few that happens to be Action / RPG style with Online Co-Op. Pretty much a must-have. The system needs more games like this. We can only hope Capcom adds Online Co-Op to MH3G if they port it to USA - or it'll fail here in the States. The 3DS can do so much with Online Co-Op and it looks like n-Space got it right with this title.
Will this use the touch screen or is it going to use buttons for all the controls? On the 3DS eShop the 2 screen photos just showed a logo on the bottom screen.
I'm going to guess that this is going to get 8/10.
I hope this game is as good as it looks. Probably a certain buy for me.
i cant wait for this!!! hope comes out in june:)
@golephish:
Yes, 4 players online or offline confirmed. Drop in & drop out. Voice chat also confirmed!
What about a review?
When will you put the review up? It came out in Europe already, and a good amount of reviewers here are European right?
(I'm not trying to be impatient, I just thought it would have come out by now...)
Lucky EU :/
Looks pretty good and looks simular to dungeon siege on PSP
Pretty decent. It could use more polish, but all round it's solidly enjoyable if a bit plain.
