About This Game
Story
Rise of the Village Hero is a lighthearted indie RPG set in the charming Kingdom of Dobroja. Play as Guy, a hunter who returns home to find his village, Warlington, under attack by orcs and goblins. Fight to protect your home, uncover the cause of the chaos, and restore peace by exploring diverse lands, interacting with factions, and completing quests. Discover treasures, brave dungeons, and become the hero Dobroja needs!
Difficulty
Rise of the Village Hero offers a fair challenge. You start as a hunter facing an orc army — a fight you’re not yet prepared for. The game has a learning curve, so use health and stamina potions wisely, upgrade gear when you can, and avoid rushing into large enemy groups. Save often, as the game features permanent death, and use the quick save function to avoid losing progress. Movement is click-to-move, and the camera may take some getting used to — you’ll sometimes need to scroll up or zoom in to navigate around high obstacles.
Features of my game:
Combat:
Combat is simple but enjoyable, combining melee and ranged attacks with a few useful abilities.
Players have mentioned how satisfying it is to fight monsters like orcs, skeletons, and ghosts, with the added challenge of permadeath making every encounter feel more tense and rewarding.
Abilities
Combat Ability: Whirlwind Pirouette
Unlocked after the first tutorial quest, this skill deals damage to nearby enemies. It can be upgraded to level 5 by purchasing from shops and is best used when surrounded. Equip it via the quick action bar.
Healing ability: Healing chant
Use the Healing Chant to recover health. It consumes stamina and has a cooldown. Upgradeable to level 10, it can be purchased from shops, earned as a quest reward, or found in the world, offering players different ways to heal.
Dialogues, quests and leveling up:
NPC interactions are lighthearted, funny, and sassy, adding charm to the game, with serious moments for balance. The story is enriched through quests, dialogue, and the main theme of protecting your home and country.
Inventory management and shops:
Find a variety of loot throughout the world—dropped by enemies, hidden spots, or quest rewards. Manage your inventory with health potions, gear, and weapons. Sell surplus items to buy better equipment and gain the edge in your struggle.
Exploring Interiors:
