"The Way of The Heroes (formerly known as the Hidden Pavilion)" is a stand-alone new game launched by Heluo Studio after the "Heroes" series, which began to "early access" on Steam in 2020 and adopted the strategy of launching a large-scale plot update once a year. Previously, the reputation of this game among players has been good, and the update in 2022 has been highly anticipated. However, recently, after the release of the third year of the plot update, "The Way of the Man" has ushered in a wave of bad reviews, and the steam praise rate of the game in the past 30 days is only 40%.
Judging from the player reviews, the third year update recently launched by "The Way of Heroes" has made many players feel uneasy, some battles and numerical aspects are not designed reasonably, the plot is handled a little bluntly, many pits dug before are not filled, and many times the "plot kill" is used to forcibly deal with some problems, making the player experience very bad. Some players also believe that it may be because Heluo Studio is developing multiple games at the same time, resulting in the "Way of The Man", which has been sold for 2 years, ending in a hurry.
As a martial arts game, "The Way of The Hero" creatively combines the martial arts world view with youth campus life, and many players praised it for having the flavor of "Persona". It is a pity that this situation has occurred now. However, the official has said that before the end of the early access, they will also improve the battle rhythm, the protagonist's influence on the plot, the connection between the cultivation and the battle, the protagonist's relationship with the protagonist, etc. according to the player's opinions, and are still doing new endings and character battle voices. I hope that the official can give the players an explanation as soon as possible.
