I was reading that Heroes of Ruin is pretty bad...But I'm still very curious what you think teeny. I'd like to pick it up when it releases stateside.
I wouldnt say it was really bad, just very average and generic. The gameplay is a bit repetetive, the combat doesnt have much depth, the graphics are just about good enough, the art design is pretty uninspired and the music is alright.
The game has a lot of features, though - spotpass functionality, online and local coop (though I understand the framerate takes a dive during online play. So far, Ive only played solo), new weekly and daily quests.
Im having fun with it, though regret picking it up at launch. I cannot honestly recommend picking it up unless your tolerance for mediocrity is high and you really need a loot collecting arpg for the 3ds. If your curious, I would wait a while after launch when the price has dropped and you dont have much else to play.
