The Lost Heir 3: Demon War Demo

Sometimes it’s difficult to choose between good graphics or a good story, because they can both create a memorable atmosphere under the right conditions. Obviously, there are also games that managed to provide the perfect combination between the two, but this usually requires a big studio and a decent budget to go along.

The Lost Heir 3: Demon War is a text-based role-playing game that provides fans with a conclusion to a fairly long tale about magic, politics and love. Hence, this is the final entry in the series and it allows you to import your character and choices from the previous games, as well as create a fresh one from scratch and change the course of the plot as you see fit.

In case you choose to create a new character, the game allows you to customize almost every aspect, including name, sexual orientation, class, as well as a few story-related choices, such as who raised you. After that you are free to approach each situation as you see fit, given the fact that the scenes provide you with multiple options to choose from.

Besides the fact that you can choose things like sexual orientation and preferred combat approach, there are many other things that define your character along the way. Depending on your choices, various stats can be improved or vice-versa, and you can keep track of all this in the stats. Sometimes you might not even be able to pick certain routes because you do not have enough skill points or enough money.

Lastly, it’s worth mentioning that this episode does not feature any graphics either, not even a single artwork piece or a background of some sort. Obviously, this shouldn’t be a problem if you are familiar with the series and with the text-based genre, but then again it can be a bit tiring after a while. Even so, imagination is one hell of an engine, so you are definitely going to see some awesome spells along the way.

In the end, The Lost Heir 3: Demon War is a bit more convoluted than your average RPG when it comes to the story, but that’s the beauty of it. Hence, you can play it again and again in order to make different choices and see how your character’s attitude affects the plot.
