Excellent game! You wont be disappointed!

This game is very thing it hoped for in a sequel, and more! It has great writing that pulls you in and doesnt let go! I love this incredible game and cant wait for the next sequel!

An amazing journey

This is one of those text adventures that you just never forget, the interactive way in which you were able to choose is amazing. It leads to a very complicated and fun Allcon. You learn a lot about yourself about other people and about how you would act in a situation like this. I enjoyed this game and I hope other people play at two and find it as interesting as I have.

Excellent

I love all of the games in this series. This one was excellently written, with really great characters and difficult choices.

Issue

Absolutely loved what Ive played of it but it wont let me finish, gets to the epilogue and freezes, Ive already purchased HeroFall and Id really like to continue. Please fix. Will get 5 star review when fixed. Just installed latest update, still not fixed

The Hero Project

The Hero Project is terrific sequel which contains a more intense plot than The Prodigy, with your choices having profound effects on the story.

I cant end the game

At the end of the second book when I get to the last page and my character says "holy slugger" after that I cant continue. I love these books, but I cant finish the second book and continue onto the third book. Thank you for reading this note, and please fix this soon.

Great text adventure

This is the greatest text adventure that choice of games has ever made. The heroes rise trilogy is truly a good game. Maybe they can make another heroes rise trilogy about aliens or something.

Wild from start to finish.

This one of those series that burned itself into my memory and made it impossible to forget the journey, the characters, and the AMAZING ending. A wonderful story I would recommend to everyone.

Brilliant

Zachary Sergi shows his brilliance as an author with the Heroes Rise trilogy. I have eked more enjoyment out of Heroes Rise than any Triple A game for the past several years. That is certainly no small feat for a game is only an interactive story, its only visuals being those you create in your own mind. One can only hope that well get the chance to continue seeing more of the fantastic powered world of Heroes Rise.

Better and Better

The story continues in what I consider one of the strongest choice of games, plenty of choices that shape your neophyte heroes place in this. Story in part two does plenty to set up the conclusion in part three while also giving you a good story to play through

Amazing. But....

Amazing game but I cannot seem to finish it after it says holy slugger. I hope it is fixed soon because it is the only thing holding me back from giving this game a 5 star review.

Not worth $

I bought this app thinking that it may be good- no, great- based upon reading other reviews. This was obviously wrong to do. Not only is the writing bad in the app, but as one previous reviewer states, you are rewarded for brown nosing acts, and pretty much nothing else. Back to the writing -- its so boring, and stifling. There is no room for critical thought, as the author never obviously thought about it themselves. The language is elementary at best. Anyone above the age of 16 should not be playing this game.

Part 2 Puts You to the Test

Part 2 of the Heroes Rise series (the greatest text-based game in history) dramatically expands the choices you have to make and tests your character. What kind of hero will you be? Some of the storyline outcomes are shocking, so be prepared!

Love the game and series

All of these games are great this one is my favourite one

*le sigh*

Its an awesome app but I had it on my iPad 1 but its charging me to get it again...

Throws civil rights in your face the whole time

The writers are inordinately talented at binding compelling plots and vivid battles into a seamless spell, but they charged away from that with reckless abandon. Look, Ive been supporting civil rights (no, not for one group of people - FOR ALL, no exceptions.) for a large portion of my life. That said, the writers decided to include, in an app under the "games," section a massive dialogue on gender equality. On top of forcing you into these situations (all with extreme reactions), there is a massively anti-climactic gender equality scene. Its a dense mess, the whole thing reads like a moral stream and preaches the infantile "golden rule" like a sermon. None of the characters has any backdrop of this whatsoever. It was like, all of a sudden, these characters gained a whole dimension to them and anglicized or demonized themselves as much as they could. The writer clearly wanted to get personal opinions into the game. And thats fine. But its not fun. The last one was great, the next one is my favorite, but this is the only one that I want my $2.99 back on. Its fine to add personal opinions in a game as long as those opinions are the main subject. Its egregiously clear that they let gender equality fully define this game. Forced, incessant altruistic propaganda does not factor well into gaming. Its like being punched in the face every time the rival team scores, when you bought tickets to watch so you wouldnt get it. This game is not a reprieve from the world.

A few too many notes

I liked this installment, though it suffered a bit from middle-book-in-trilogy syndrome. The worldbuilding was done in the first, the epic climax in the third, and most of the heavy lifting of the plot gets smushed into the second book. At times, I really wanted the actual Hero Project to end, because I was tired of all the bickering; theres a reason I dont watch reality shows. I actually liked that gender identity issues were a part of the game, though I agree with a previous reviewer that the big discussion in the middle of the game was rather heavy handed. It was still a great thing to see in a game.

Amazing!

This is a brilliant story with incredible writing! It has characters and a world that you care about! The choices have you questioning yourself and your true intentions. The reality show style is hooking. Best app I have ever had! (Albeit I have not played the conclusion to the trilogy yet.)

Stupid

Just...stupid. Im actually mad at myself for continuing to read this after I started hoping this was some type of dream or virtual reality type thing. And I didnt get very far into the story before that happened. Heroes Rise was good and I plan on going back through it a few times. Hero Project was so long and ridiculous that I dont ever see myself sitting through it again. Havent read HeroFall yet but I hope to god it is better than this.

Disappointing mockery of both superheroes and CYOA games

Crammed with a lot of artificial choices that dont mean anything. Large swaths of exposition about nothing of interest. Your own character comes across rather pathetic and feeble, constantly being hoodwinked and playing second fiddle to a host of other, even less likable characters. Worst of all is the whole reality show premise of the plot that feels like a complete misunderstanding of the superhero genre and makes every "hero" involved feel like vacuous fame-mongers. There are beastmen gangs and transhumanist doomsday cults plaguing the world but the most important thing in all these heroes minds is how to best pander to the camera in order to join some kind of celebrity hero club? The amount of time you spend actually being a hero in this game is a merest fraction of the time you spend worrying about how you look on camera. Gross and unentertaining. I wont be playing through the next game of this series.
