I was granted a pre-leveled ranged character to take around the block. Throw in the fact that the world is huge and explorable and Lucent Heart starts to stack up to many of the best. We will get to the systems in a minute, but if a game just flows well and the characters are smooth and fun to watch, then that can be the difference between a generic game with just OK systems and a really nice game with just OK systems. I think the art and character animations must be the things that do it for me. But Lucent Heart offers something a bit special, like Iris did for me, that is hard to describe. I could just write that it looks and basically feels like any number of Anime, free-to-play games, complete with an annoying cash shop that only offers time-limited items, and you readers would probably nod your heads and go on with your lives. Of course, Lucent Heart has plenty of issues, so let me tell you about those as well.įirst of all I want to indicate that like the previously mentioned Iris Online, Lucent Heart is hard to describe accurately. In fact, I was relieved to find a game that, like Iris Online, seems to offer the same overall wonderful experience that so many of these Anime-style, not-from-our-shores games seem to avoid.

I've described to you how scared I am of finding a game that does, indeed, suck. No, I did not just spoil my entire article for you by telling you how I felt about the game in one word (you should always read to the end anyway). Yes, I know, " suck" is not a very good descriptive term, and it does not quite detail exactly what I disliked about something, but if a game is just not meant for me, it can be hard to describe why. Each time I am asked to play one of these games and to report to you lovely readers what I found, I am a little frightened that the game will simply suck. The game has been brought to us by Gamania, the same company responsible for the adorable Hero 108.
