The RPG "The Hero's Party Was Wiped Out." developed by Death Union launched on Steam on November 10 and achieved an "Overwhelmingly Positive" rating in less than three days. As of November 13, the game had received approximately 600 user reviews, with a 96% positive rating.
In the game, players take on the role of the sole survivor of a rescue team searching for a missing party of heroes. You can choose one of four impaired companions to accompany you: a hero who has lost the ability to speak, a mage who has lost their magic, a warrior whose soul has been transferred into a doll, and a monk suffering from abnormal physical conditions.
Combat uses a turn-based card system, where weapons and items have limited uses. When depleted, triggering the "Last Stand" enhances their power or effects; by first breaking an enemy's guard and then delivering the final blow, players can trigger a fatal attack and seize their equipment. "Curses" generated from breaking items can also negate unfavorable outcomes like stepping on traps. If a character falls, they can restart from the current floor, and repeated attempts gradually accumulate advantages.
Each of the four companions has their own route and multiple endings, with each route taking approximately 6 hours to complete. The game features over 400,000 words of text and more than 400 new illustrations. Its regular price is 1,980 yen, but it's available at a 10% discount until November 24, making the sale price 1,782 yen.
