### 5/5 — Replay value is great.

*2022-07-31*

I get obsessed playing these games very well done.

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2020-04-12*

This is not only the best story game I’ve ever played, it’s the best game I’ve ever played period. 

I played this when they originally came out, and I keep coming back to it even all this time later. I can’t describe my joy rediscovering the adventure and relationships and challenges in this game. 

I am having w problem with not knowing how to get the legacy advantage on the second and third games, so if anyone does know I’d love to hear a the solution

Please get this game, it’s wonderful and actually makes me happy

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2019-06-17*

Can play many times in many ways.

### 4/5 — Inadvertently funny; 3.5 stars

*2019-06-10*

SPOILERS...

This entire chapter is based around an army-management minigame, building up to a battle at the end.

Now here’s the big spoiler.

WINNING OR LOSING MAKES NO DIFFERENCE.

If you win, you will get cheated of your victory by your plot-armored nemesis. If you lose, you will survive due to your own plot armor. Whatever happens, your friends will be all right and your kingdom will be overrun by demons.

In fact, losing may be BETTER. You get to screw up the minigame as badly as you like, and you’ll get a brainwashed friend back. In order to win, you have to kill them. If you lose, the only named NPC who dies is a gruff general who barely appears in The Lost Heir 3 anyway. The only real reason to win is bragging rights.

I assume the author responded to feedback that failing TLH1’s boss battle had far too harsh drawbacks by lowering the consequences for losing, but having an arguably NEGATIVE outcome for winning is bewildering. 

END SPOILERS

I recommend just focusing on building up your character for TLH3, because that’s where the stat checks become truly brutal. Again, I recommend physical classes because, if you focused on Magic alone, getting a good ending will be much harder there.

### 5/5 — HOLY FLIP!!!

*2018-06-30*

One of the most AMAZING games I have played!
I can’t Evan describe what it is like to lose yourself in this beautifully told story! I don’t wright reviews that much but WOW! This hits home! With so many classes o choose from! AH! Amazing just down right AZMAZING!

### 5/5 — Awesome game!!

*2017-11-24*

This game mixed in the perfect sequel to the first in this saga and finished with a satisfying conclusion and was overall happy with the final outcome. This was a really well written and devolved story arch and makes you genuinely care for the characters!!

### 5/5 — Cool story

*2017-08-26, version 1.0.3*

😇😇😇😇😊😊😊☺️☺️☺️

### 5/5 — Great Series

*2017-08-01, version 1.0.3*

I was super excited to see, after playing the first game years ago, that its two sequels were out. This is a really well done series where your choices really matter and affect your relationships and the outcome of the story. This one is quite different from the first game, as in this game you're much more focused on running and maintaining your kingdom and army, so there's much less focus on talking with your companions and romance. Personally I like both in their own right. It's a cool world full of magic and monsters that's very well constructed. It's a great length as well. The one complaint I have is that I wish there were save points or checkpoints where you can go back and change your choices mid game- instead of having to reset your whole game like you have to do now if you choose a wrong option or one you didn't like the outcome of. Otherwise, it's great!

### 5/5 — A Worthy Sequel

*2017-07-02*

A superb sequel that matches the masterpiece of the original. The plethora of hidden paths is enormous. The addition of many new and hard to obtain classes makes the game even more  versatile. The only drawback to this game is the companions from the original game feel a bit lifeless compared to their vivid personalities in the first, this problem also reappears in the third game. But overall a great game that I recommend highly.

### 5/5 — Very enjoyable

*2017-04-06, version 1.0.3*

Check it out. Rock on lucid.
