Battle On! Hero Academy

6.5/10: If Loafing Town was all about breeding, this one is more about picking your next profession and building around it. The concept is actually solid: food gives different buffs, accessories come with their own attributes, and each class has unique traits that make experimenting pretty fun. What drags it down for me is the lack of localisation. It’s super noticeable. A bunch of commonly used options have translation issues, and it’s honestly off putting when you’re trying to figure things out. These aren’t obscure menus either.. they’re things players click constantly, so it’s wild that the devs haven’t fixed them yet. People have been pointing this out for a while, but it feels like it’s just being ignored at this point.

So far it's been quite fun. Different classes. Progression is quite slow so there's no huge leaps in numbers suddenly, at least not at this point (My academy level is 52 so I've opened the Abyss trials but haven't completed the first one yet). I like the grind for different kind of materials that'll help you customize your heroes. Skill books, equippable gear and permanent stat boosts are probably the 3 main things. I like the active part of the game which has you micro manage your heroes. They'll do the fighting but almost everything is up to you, basically making you a Guild Master that sends adventurers on their journeys. What I DON'T like is that there's still text left untranslated. I can almost every one of them from the context and it hasn't been a problem but still... One other thing is the windows/boxes that you open up. Some of them you can get a good look at you if you just scroll your screen to the side so the whole window comes into view. But there are also those ones that are locked onto your screen so there's no way, as far as I know, to see the full window. This is awful and needs to be fixed yesterday. One minor nitpick I have is that it would be nice to have some information on new things like skills or enemies. You'll see all sorts of things you'd wish you could just click on and gain more info but no, you'll be left with unanswered questions still. But overall, I'm liking the game. Definitely one of the top idlers out there.

Leaving a review after 100% the game. The game is as expected, an idler most of the time ESPECIALLY at the end if you really want to push for 100% completion, for my playtime, roughly 60hrs was put in just to get the last few achievements, it is mostly time constraint, without any spoilers, you will know it when you get to that point. NOTE: Some text are still not translated, but they are minor, a bit annoying, but it is there, and you can guess what they mean, for example, if you are trying to learn a scroll that is already maxed out, a msgbox on chinese will show up, probably saying that the character already has max stats on that scroll. For the price, I'll still recommend it, especially if its on sale, it does what it is supposed to be, an idler game.
