Hero's Adventure: Road to Passion

No clue with all those complaints about the english translation. To me it gives this 70's/80's bootlegged movie vibes. But ngl, the mechanics are fun and thats what is most important to me. I'm not the type to go edgelord over a few misspellings and typo's. Then again english is a second language for me too.

I would buy this game 1000 times over if I had the money. So much attention to the world and its details. LOVE the fact that there's different dialogues/outcomes when you have certain companions in your party (even in the first few Nameless Village quests). So many awesome secrets and ways to play that I always come back to this game. Hero's Adventure rewards the people who love to explore everything. It encourages you to ask the question, "What if?" and gives you a satisfying answer. It's humorous and lighthearted, while still being an epic story the players write themselves. I never have it in me to play as the bad guy though lol. Worth its weight in gold.

Gave it a fair amount of time but it just didn't click with me, I'm either one hitting everything or being one hit. Not really clear for me how to get stronger and had to spend a lot of my time browsing reddits and the discord for information that should be presented in game. A lot of effort for not much fun

Firstly i pirated this game, but after a few minutes of gameplay i've just uninstalled it and bought it legal to play.

I don’t understand why this game doesn’t have an “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating on Steam. It feels like a simplified version of Baldur’s Gate, but set in a fantasy version of China, with old-school MapleStory-style artwork. I find the art style incredibly charming, and the world feels vibrant and alive, full of events and interactions. I don’t usually replay games, but I’ve already restarted this one three times just to explore the different possibilities based on my choices. Lately, I’ve been struggling to find games that feel genuinely fun, but of all things, it was this comically generically named Hero’s Adventure that really pulled me back in, haha. There’s so much to do and discover. It genuinely feels like a “choose your own adventure” game where your decisions actually matter. If you enjoy shaping your own character in a way that feels similar to a DnD-style experience, you won’t be disappointed. -10/10 will continue to sink precious time into this one.

This game lets you live out all your Wuxia fantasies. Imagine a universe where every Wuxia story you've ever read or watched exists together—and you're a central figure in it. It's an incredible RPG that gives you the freedom to do almost anything, with a deep, engaging combat system and a vast world to explore. Even if you're unfamiliar with Wuxia, the game stands strong on its own as an expansive and immersive role-playing experience.

The word "FREEDOM" very work well with this game. Pick a Fight with a people? Travel around the world? Wifu Collection? You don't even need to go to another world with Track-san to do that! this game have all above for you! With deep sandbox constructs you can mant thing in the game and of course you have to accept the consequence of your action In short it's a 10/10 for me. Thank you.

Fun open worrld Wuxia RPG with TB combat and tons of choice & consequence. Also has some rogue like elements where you unlock achievements as you play that give new options for your next character

What's surprising about this game is. There's a lot of content. Thought I'd be done in 20 hours but I'm almost 80 hours in and I'm still not done. Only thing I wish improved is if they allow Skills to be upgraded to Legendary. The effect itself doesn't need to be upgraded (for example Rare EXT can just remain having 1 effect) but maybe improve the modifiers or stats it gives so you can have more optimized build variations. This would also allow R skills to be useful even in end game (some still is but the low stat boost really hurts late game or in harder difficulty) (btw the game reminds me of Star Ocean a bit, not exactly but it has similar vibe)

I didnt expect much going into it but im now hooked and cant really stop playing it. Its a great in depth game with so many options. You will die though A LOT because of tbh just dialogue options and being unprepared so save often and enjoy becoming a martial artist legend.

Pretty impressive game in a lot of aspects. Lots of choices. Lots of routes to go down. Tons of secrets. The further you get and more achievements you unlock, the stronger your character when you start a new game again. Artstyle is nice to look at. Just a lot of things to like about this game. I'll warn you though, it does have a bit of that quality that I can only call "Chinese jank". The numbers don't always quite add up the way you think they should. Thankfully though it's pretty inoffensive here and doesn't come up much, especially when compared to other, similar games. Anyway, in summary. It's pretty cool. Kind of grindy. Nice to look at. Little janky at times. Wide open in what you can do. Would recommend, especially if you like this kind of setting.

Tons of fun. Puts me in mind of the old 70 - 80's kung fu movies. Could use some translation love, but not terrible.

Genuinely an unexpectedly great game! Still a few translation issues but nothing bad. Sunk many hours into this and have barely scratched the surface. So many possible routes and endings, was surprised by the depth of the game having such a small file size. The ideal sandbox game I've been looking for!

yes, there is plenty of room to improve the english translations. no, it does not impact the enjoyment of the gameplay at all. great job devs!

I tried to be a romantic wuxia hero, but mostly I just got friend-zoned by everyone. Still, good fun!

If this game has a decent official English translation, I'd give it a 10 out of 10 Although the existing translation makes sense, it does not effectively convey the story

Honestly didn’t expect to get this addicted to the game >< I love how it offers so much freedom and is packed with storylines and diverse characters. Just wish we could customize our own hero too!_ The only downside is the translation — it still needs some polishing. And a quick tip: don’t forget to save your game in multiple slots! Some choices are really crucial and irreversible.

Despite its jank, poor translation, confusing mechanics, and strange writing decisions, this remains a major recommend for any CRPG fans looking for something new

This game have a really good story with lot to explore, your actions and choices will change the story,

Decent game. It is a point and click adventure RPG with a major in Chinese Xinxia type lore.

Very fun game! This was honestly much deeper and more well done that I initially anticipated. Very fun setting, story, and characters to journey with. If you enjoy martial arts and wuxia, this is a good game for you.

Great game, good story line, fun character design

Honestly, this is one of the best games i've played. It's so addictive! Recommend playing on hard mode. It's a little unbalanced at times but still so fun.

Very good game, the amount the game allows you to do and explore is well worth the cost, looking forward to coming back to it sometime. Its biggest issue has been mentioned a ton in the reviews, its translation is abysmal and if that's a deal breaker for you that's fine.

Very fun tactical RPG with massive amounts of content. If you are a fan of Wuxia genre this is a must have.

Recommend if you speak Chinese, do not buy if you speak English. This is a really cool game and I want to play it, but the English localization is really bad. I saw some comments saying the translation was okay, so I got it, but let me just say, that's not true. The English version is atrocious. The story dialogue is probably the strongest translation (although that could use a lot of work and sounds like Google Translate!) but the User Interface and descriptions in the game killed the whole experience. Anyway, cool game, and I really hope they hire professional translators!! Pass until they make a true English edition.

I don't usually write game reviews, especially for Chinese games. But after trying this one, I have to say—it’s an exception. This game is truly excellent. It offers multiple endings, and you can choose to play as a good or evil. You can easily sink over 100 hours into it. The gameplay might not appeal to everyone since it’s turn-based, but the main story is fairly easy to follow. Plus, there are plenty of waifus to choose from—and you can even marry as many as you want! However, there is one downside: the balance isn’t quite as good as it could be. There are lots of weapons to choose from, and if you're playing casually, you can beat the game with pretty much anything. But if you're playing on higher difficulty levels with a lot of added challenges, it feels like only two weapons are actually viable at peak performance. There are also very few skills available for weapons other than swords and fists—like, really few

really have enjoyed this game. there are lots you can do and lots to aim for.

Gameplay Mechanics: 8/10 Narrative: 7/10 Graphics: 6/10 Sound and Music: 6/10 Replayability: 9/10 Innovation: 9/10 Hero's Adventure: Road to Passion is a remarkable indie RPG that delivers one of the most mechanically rich experiences in a wuxia setting. With an open-world structure and a deep sandbox design, it offers incredible freedom to forge your own legend in the martial world. Gameplay mechanics are robust and versatile. The turn-based combat system is flexible and supports a wide range of builds across martial arts styles, internal skills, weapons, and companion combinations. Layered systems like reputation, faction alignment, crafting, and social interaction create a gameplay loop that is as strategic as it is open-ended. While the learning curve can be steep and the difficulty spikes at times, the reward for mastery is immense. Score: 8/10. Narrative is largely emergent. There are overarching faction arcs and multiple endings, but most of the storytelling is shaped by your choices—who you befriend, betray, and what paths you walk. It’s not heavily scripted, but the world reacts meaningfully to your decisions. Score: 7/10. Graphics are modest. The pixel art is functional, and while it lacks visual polish, it still manages to convey atmosphere. Some animations feel stiff, but the world is vibrant enough to stay immersive. Score: 6/10. Sound and music are passable. The soundtrack captures the tone but lacks variety, and ambient effects are minimal. It supports the gameplay but doesn’t stand out. Score: 6/10. Replayability is excellent. There’s a wide array of factions, character builds, and outcomes to explore, and each playthrough can lead to vastly different experiences. It's a game that rewards curiosity and experimentation. Score: 9/10. Innovation is where the game truly excels. It’s one of the best wuxia-themed RPGs out there, with deeply developed systems that rival much larger productions. The seamless integration of sandbox freedom, turn-based tactics, and martial arts progression makes it feel both unique and genre-defining. Score: 9/10. In summary, Hero's Adventure: Road to Passion is a hidden gem in the RPG space, especially for fans of Chinese martial arts fiction. Its open-ended design and strategic depth make it a must-play for anyone seeking freedom, complexity, and a richly imagined Jianghu world.

This game was hugely enjoyable for awhile, but the exceptionally overt transphobia and persistent homophobia turned me off it. I regret the purchase despite my enjoyment of the genre.

this game is soo good i wish they add more content to it 10/10 game with lots of freedom

Super super fun RPG game. Highly recommended

几乎所有国产游戏都有一个通病—简陋，本作也不能免俗：任务几乎没有任何引导、无法得知敌人等级导致战斗各种翻车（有查看选项的角色除外）、有恶性bug导致剧情无法推进、多数可招募队友的招募流程无任何提示、特殊活动等待时间过长（比如拍卖、地下竞技场这些的间隔都是5天）、玩家升级过慢（入队同级别的队友经过20天以上的培养能比玩家等级高10-20级左右、后入队比玩家低10级的队友也能迅速追平玩家等级）。总之，各种毛病让人没动力玩下去。

Amazing game love it so far and thanks for the free collab DLC dev

I jumped into this game with absolutely zero expectations. 39 hours in, I went from getting my ass kicked by a KFC-grade chicken to becoming the first man to be sent to the stratosphere after getting shoulder bumped by their (former) to-be-bride, and all of that because I forgot to cultivate my Strength levels by contributing to the local deforestation problem. 10/10

I have over 160 hours of this review and still haven't beaten the game because I keep discovering new paths and starting over so I don't miss them. Love the game!

its a fun wuxia fantasy where all possibility can be done

Awesome little game and the devs are really nice

想不到可以玩到半瓶神仙醋的遊戲 讚啦

Why do you keep releasing free DLCs? I want to give you money! Please just release something that I can pay for!

This is the best WuXia game I had in recent years
