A New Chapter in the Night Chasers' History
A long time ago, there was a mercenary group known as the Night Chasers. Instead of making money, these heroic warriors went around helping those in need. During the war, they helped a great many people who were suffering under tyranny and injustice. However, in the ensuing age of peace, the Night Chasers were no longer needed, and were forced to disband. Years later, four young people - Zack, Lucien, Sid, and Odelia - decided to carry on their legacy, forming the new Night Chasers.

One day, Zack and his party save an Elven girl named Dolores. Suffering from amnesia, Dolores cannot remember why she has ventured so far from the Elven Kingdom – only that she has been sent on an urgent quest. Concerned for her well-being, the Night Chasers take her into their fold, leading them to discover an ancient and terrible threat to the kingdom...

### 1/5 — 合わない

*2026-06-30*

難易度高め
戦略の幅が狭く、状態異常が強いのに対処が限定的で辛い。各キャラクターの個性も活かせられず詰めが甘いゲームである。これを買うなら別のゲームをやった方がいい。ちなみに私は途中で消した。

### 1/5 — Enemy levels??

*2026-03-04, version 2.08*

Could enemy levels be added? There are some huge difficulty spikes. The ability to see enemy levels would help to give us an idea if we should be in that dungeon or grinding another area. Thank you.

### 3/5 — Joke-Level Boss Balancing

*2026-02-25*

Everything basically perfect. Looks great, feels great, works great. It’s just that almost every boss is wildly outbalanced for your progress. There is a difference between a challenging battle and chipping away at a brick wall for THIRTY MINUTES. Truly terrible balancing. Also, no journal or basic list of quests which leads to even more wasted time moving around hitting a battle every other dot just to learn your quest is nowhere near where you just slogged to. You are so close to perfection! Iron out that bts math and implement the world’s most basic quest journal and you’re there.

### 5/5 — Deep and charming

*2025-08-05, version 2.08*

Possibly the best match 3 on the App Store, HE2 brings an absolutely delightful hero squad adventure to your bejewelled fantasies. No gatcha or micro transactions either!

### 5/5 — Très bien

*2025-05-10*

Assez difficile, surtout sur la fin. Il vous sera necessaire de farmer et de faire attention à votre équipement pour qu’il soit optimisé au mieux. J’ai passé un bon moment avec ce jeu ! Vivement la suite !

### 5/5 — New map plz!

*2025-05-01*

Game clear, new dungeon plz！

### 5/5 — Best game in its genre

*2025-04-19*

Thank you so much for this game. I really enjoyed the first one and enjoy Hero Emblems 2 as well 🩵 

If you will consider adding russian language I will definitely appreciate it ✨

### 1/5 — No “Skip Story” function

*2025-04-09, version 2.08*

Don’t force players to read your story. It’s 2022, might want to get with the time.

### 5/5 — 非常に面白い

*2025-03-21*

前作は4周、今作は3周全クリしました。

ヒーローエンブレムは非常に楽しいゲームです。
パズルRPGのゲームシステムが素晴らしく、時間を忘れて遊んでいられます。
それに敵の強さも、少し難しいくらいが好きな私にはちょうど良いです。
前作からキャラも増えて、パーティ構成を変えられる点が増えて非常に楽しいです。
それに、究極紋章を大量に作れると、いつでも敵を倒せる状況にウハウハ気分が溢れます。

たしかに、他の方の意見にあるように、状態異常が辛いのと、敵の耐性により、最深部まで潜ったのにボスにダメージが与えられない時は面倒くささを感じます。

状態異常はまあアイテムとアクセサリー、それにヒーラーのデバフ解除と、タンクのデバフガードでなんとかなります。
ボスは弱点が判明すれば、道中で究極紋章をひたすら貯めておけば何とかなるので、クリアまでは簡単にできます。
ただ、状態異常対策にタンクとヒーラーの構成をほぼほぼ変えられないのが毎度のことながら残念ですね。

なので、戦闘中にスキルを変更できる機能をつけるか、究極紋章の状態を保存した状態で、ダンジョンから出ても、またボスのとこまでファストトラベル出来るようになれば、クリアできる人が増えるのではないでしょうか？

ヒーローエンブレムはもう本当に大好きで、アプリゲームで1番好きなゲームです。
この手のパズルRPGがもっと巷に溢れないかといつも期待して、App Storeをのぞいています。
私は普段面倒くさいから、レビューは絶対にしない派なのですが、諦めの早い方の評価により、このゲームの価値や素晴らしさが下げられるのが嫌で、今回初めてレビューをさせて頂きました。
次回作が出たら必ず買います。

### 5/5 — A critical bug

*2024-12-29*

When a new elf character joins, clicking the exclamation mark on the left side of the map doesn’t allow the team to move there. iPhone13
