Описание
Heads Will Roll: Reforged позволит игроку примерить на себя роль обычного средневекового солдата, волею судеб оказавшегося в эпицентре легендарной Столетней войны между королями Англии и Франции. Вы начинаете свой путь простым пехотинцем, единственной целью которого является выживание, но при должном уровне мастерстве, хитрости, а также пролитой крови, вы вскоре можете стать одним из самых известных рыцарей своего времени.
Эта игра представляет собой уникальный тип RPG с механикой выживания и пошаговыми боями, которые потребуют от игрока принятия взвешенных решений как в бою, так и вне его. Комплексная боевая система использует множество различных параметров, включая характеристики и атрибуты персонажей, знание и умение обращаться с определенным оружием, длину оружия, уровень усталости, различные переломы и травмы, а также сотни различных предметов и расходных материалов.
Игра предлагает более 200 различных предметов, для использования и экипировки, начиная от всевозможных видов средневекового оружия и доспехов и заканчивая безделушками с уникальными эффектами, несколькими видами ядов, медикаментами и множеством предметов для крафта.
Все действия вашего персонажа будут иметь внутриигровые последствия. Неигровые персонажи будут менять свое отношение к вам в зависимости от того, как вы к ним относитесь, как ведете себя в бою, и вне его. Это, в свою очередь, открывает или закрывает возможности взаимодействия с ними, а иногда и запускает специальные события.
С умом используйте любую добычу или припасы, которые вы получили в свои руки. Большую часть из них можно комбинировать для изготовления медицинских и вспомогательных предметов, а также различных типов боеприпасов для арбалетов.
Heads Will Roll использует множество элементов случайной генерации, которые превратят каждое отдельное прохождение в абсолютно уникальный опыт. Попробуйте начать игру с другими предметами и характеристиками, сражайтесь с разными врагами, делайте другие выборы и переживайте знакомые события на новый лад с каждым прохождением.
В игре есть десятки видов оружия, начиная от мечей, топоров, булав и копий и заканчивая метательными ножами и арбалетами. Все они имеют различные наборы движений, которые основаны на различных характеристиках и навыках (сила, ловкость и т. д.), уникальные особенности, а также сильные и слабые стороны по отношению друг к другу.
Сражайтесь не только за богатство и славу, но и за сердца прекрасных девиц с уникальным характером, различными взглядами на жизнь и вкусом в мужчинах. Завоевать сердце красавицы может оказаться так же сложно, как выжить в войне.
Выбирайте из широкого спектра аутентичной средневековой экипировки: от всевозможных шлемов и доспехов до горжетов, наручей, и поножей. Все с различными качествами и характеристиками.
В игре есть полноценный режим Роуглайк, с каждой смертью в котором игрок может повышать уровень своего профиля, открывая новые стартовые предметы и улучшая базовые характеристики персонажа, что позволяет продвигаться еще дальше и решать все более сложные задачи.
Для тех, кто предпочитает увлекательные истории, с захватывающими событиями и неожиданными поворотами вместо хардкорного выживания существует специальный сюжетный режим. Он достаточно сложен, для того чтобы увлечь игрока, а также предлагает различные варианты для удобства игры, например быстрое сохранение и быструю загрузку, к которым можно получить доступ в любое время.

Отзывы пользователей
I have played this game for 12 out of the last 30 hours. It is one of the best games ever. Thank you to the developers for making it. The ending I arrived at seemed entirely fitting for my character, a real heroic novel (Eva C6!). I will one day return to play the other main game path. I did hoover up all-but-one of the possible endings to the final chapter of my character's story, and I wonder if that was the right thing to do. Should I get all the endings, to see all the paths my hero could have taken. Or should I take only one, and leave the rest as mystery, tales never told (not to mention less immersion-breaking). If you've read all of my ramblings, thank you, and please leave a comment with your opinion. Once again- thank you developers. This game is truly a work of art and I am a better man having played it :).
Talk about a good game...
I didn't expect it to be this good.
I did a playthrough, England route to the end, story mode.
Yeah i'm a pussy but i played it for the story and narrative choices.
If you love hardcore combat and a grind the high difficulty is where it's at.
Combat is turn based.
Equipment is key, historical and full of flavor.
There is a lot of meat on the bone tactically.
RPG wise there is stats, exhaustion, resting, time management, some squad building and maintenance.
But above all... TONS and TONS of meaningful choices that impact the game.
18 or so (i may be slightly off) different endings.
The dlc adding more storypaths and story choices.
There seem to be two main branches i could detect.
- Going to England.
- Going to France.
Each with their own romanceable options (it's a sort of romance game within the game where you need to do things they approve of, help them etc)
Each with sides. Subbosses. Moral choices. You can refuse to do things. You can loose key battles that will impact the story etc.
Just on what i encountered and noticed you clearly can:
1) side or at least be more diplomatic with the french.
2) Go mercenary it seems.
3) Go to England and be super loyal. (which i did)
4) Go to England and betray your lord.
5) End up in Scotland. (which i did)
6) Apparently I read you can end up in the Middle East.
7) Virtuous or evil choices lead to good and bad things happening and both sides of the coin have pro's and cons. Some nobles are very pragmatic. Some characters are big on the virtue. And if you were yourself super pragmatic or cruel, some opponents will accuse you of hypocrisy. Etc etc.
To add to it there are several crafting systems.
And i rather like the graphical look of things. It's indie but it works well for what it is going for.
Definitely an unexpected gem!!!
ADDENDUM:
Seems a big DLC was announced reworking the combat system, adding even more paths allowing full on defection to the French and going to another region.
Or bounty hunting with 2 ladies. (which i never encountered as i was trudging around in France)
THE best random pleb simulator I've played. Gameplay is fun and the story is interesting no mater which choices you make.
You have to play this on the hardest difficulty to have the most fun. I still haven't beat the game.
Immense replayability value from such a simple system, and lots of different avenues to explore.
Absolute gem of a game.
I have no idea how you can succeed at making something this horrid.
i fit says 100% success than you shouldn't be losing a fight.
Great and unique game.
One of those very special rare games. Others explained better how it works.
This game has something that works for me on every level. I want more of that, I want nothing changed.
Fighting system is NOT "interesting".
Good game with story branches to try on the hardest difficulty with permadeath. The "romance" art (so to speak) is done with taste and doesn't get in the way of the story, goes alongside with it. The "supernatural" may appear here and there, but doesn't get in the way of the story, goes alongside with it. The DLCs are bringing solid things to the main game. My only CON for the game is the absence of a skip chapter 1 option, because you will do it too many times due to your permadeath on high difficulty and the need to play again on a different story branch.
Held back by the visual novel interface but nonetheless a compelling tactical/survival sim game. Characters and Story are a bit shallow core gameplay loop of combat is well done. Survival type decisions add depth
Great game with extensive replay value. Soon as you entered or know the HWR mode, all the other modes become mediocre. Roguelike mode with a good stylised art, whats there to not like?
A fun little game. It's my first exposure to the visual-novel genre, and the romance side is a bit naff for anyone past their teens, but there are meaningful choices and some interesting and genuinely thoughtful mechanics (especially around stamina/fatigue) that I hadn't seen in RPGs before.
Obviously it has its flaws:
- - Copyediting lacking for the English translation.
- - Some fairly significant bugs, e.g. deliver everything for the "heal Bartholomew" subquest but still fail it.
- - Unintuitive and largely undocumented UI, e.g. there's a subsection of saved games for quicksaves, but I never found anything saying what the quicksave/quickload keys are.
- - Apparently the HWR hardcore mode with permadeath and "new game plus" is the "right" way to play, but it's too grindy and there's too little variation in the early game to want to play through it over and over again.
- - Graphics are basic, and while the game shows the main character with correct equipment, for some bizarre reason it elects not to do so for any other characters.
[*] - The squad subsystem never really gelled for me. Early game you can't afford to level them up, late game they die like flies against high-level and/or numerous enemies, so the only fights they can handle are the ones where you didn't need them. One thing I really, really missed was an option to keep them out of combat once they've been rotated out; as it is, once all of your squad are wounded it just throws them back into the fray anyway guaranteeing rapid death.
That sounds like a lot of whingeing, but don't let it put you off. I genuinely enjoyed this game, and got sucked into some unplanned all-nighters,
Ground Hog's Day
Pros:
* Combat is complicated but good
* Great mechanics, equipment options, and decent crafting
* Story is pretty good but...
Cons:
* The game is made for you to replay the beginning over and over again. The problem with this is it's the exact same story with only very minor deviations due to different random equipment that could come up. Gets tedious very fast.
* Needs mod support or at least options to tune down the hardcore elements for players that don't want to spend 50 hours to get deeper into the main story.
* Varying difficulty levels are deceiving as you can't advance without playing the hardest difficulty.
Needs to have a lot of event variety especially at beginning game. Right now there is none.
make the game fucking easier. this is worse then elden ring
good game
very fun
Liked the game!
Insanely Good game
Nice role-playing. Bad balance. I've played 10h in 2 days, so I'd recommend for those who like this genre.
Get zweihander to the neck loser
In war I was something. At home i was nothing.
I find it enjoyable for what it is, but aside from that, it's not, shall we say, groundbreaking.
I give it a solid 8/10, but I advise against buying any DLC. This game doesn't warrant the asking prices. The base game is enough.
GREAT SERIES, GREAT GAME
Hi. Only 4.1h on my record, but I must say - I think this is the true gem. Very interesting story and choises - matter.
shield bash my beloved
Not for me. I liked the idea behind this game. But when I started playing I quickly realized its all text based, which I dont hate, but also dont LOVE... and the combat is utterly boring, just point and click. That may be enough for some to have fun, but I need more.
Im not sure this game deserves a thumbs down necessarily... but also I didnt like this game and I do not recommend it, so... theres that I guess.
Old school and clunky as hell, but the core game loop is engaging, and I expect this would run on anything.
Fun clicker-roguelite
Okay, so I'm going to try my best to summarize my experience with this game.
I bought this, save scummed for about two hours, and stopped playing for a long time.
Afterward, I played this game again a few days ago, this time on the Heads Will Roll mode, which is the roguelite where your profile gains exp after every run.
Needless to say, I died quickly. It annoyed me, and I wanted a little revenge so I tried again I got a little farther this time. "Okay, what did I do wrong then? Let me just adjust." And I did. Surprisingly, I got so far that my profile level just SKYROCKETED.
Suddenly, I can start my character with a badass weapon, piece of armor, or whatever trinket. I experiment and go again, and DAMN. It was working out great until I took that crossbow in the neck. I try again, and ONCE AGAIN it's awesome, up until that time I went looking for trouble without resting first and immediately died. Lord knows how many times I tried to take the "Young Knight" down with different builds.
So once again, my profile skyrocketed. I realized I can put a ton of points into STR so I have as much inventory as possible, pick up a two-handed sword, some awesome trinkets I just unlocked and wait... HOW MANY HOURS HAVE I PLAYED IN THE PAST TWO DAYS?
The replayability is great, especially if you like grinding on HWR difficulty.
Do you feel like your life is too easy nowadays?
Then Heads will roll is for you.
Experience medieval warfare from the eyes of a peasant trying to survive war.
Immerse yourself into a brutal medieval rogue-like where death awaits in every corner.
While I have a few issues with the game that can be described more as nitpicks (Such as the humour, plot, and occasional anachronistic language), the game is quite fun. The art is beautiful and it's nice to have an RPG set in the Middle Ages, so I'd definitely recommend it for Medieval fans.
lol nudes
A real hidden Gem.
I have few complaints and many compliments about this game
TLDR; 9/10 very high replayability on HWR diffuculty. Fun to achievement hunt. Decent and rather in depth story with many many parths to choose. Only big downside is bad grammar
Complaints:
There are a lot of grammatical errors. None that made me not understand what was written, but definitely an annoying amount.Encountered a couple bugs and crashes especially with fast forwarding(L-CTRL) with squad members.
Speaking of fast forwarding, it is incredibly unoptimized to the point of... well crashing
Compliments:
First of I just love this type of game. The story is good enough, but that's not what made me love the game. It's the way HWR difficulty and the leveling of your profile goes so well with progressing through the different obstacles in and out of combat. If you're not playing HWR difficulty you're not experiencing the games full potential.The combat is very simple stat/luck based turnbased. It's easy to understand and with suprising amount of variety in strategies you can use. Game is pretty balanced while keeping strength true to story an example of this is a guy you fight mid story is slightly weaker next time you fight him later in story because he lost an eye.
I also enjoyed the way you have to figure out the balance between getting gear, crafting, training your stats, completing different tasks and wooing the ladies. You have limited time, and it's impossible to do every option.
The high replayabilty and many paths in the story is well complimented with the achievemts making achievement hunting very enjoyable in this game. Currently of this review I only have 64% of Achievements including DLCs which I don't own
cool adventure VN game
The probability of defense and attack is too stupid，I always have a probability of over 70% to hit my opponent, but I miss it every time，Even with over 90%, it is likely to miss it，But my opponent can hit me every round (even when I have 16 agility and their weapon skills are only 2)
2024.9.11
I made a mistake，I correct my previous statement，even the probability of hitting is 100%,you will still miss,this game is completely garbage :(
good one
This was a surprise. I wasn't expecting much beyond a rogue-like medieval "Legionary's Life" clone. This is not that. It's much, much better.
The training, looting, and combat loop is simple but addictive, but the narrative weight of player choices is what I find the most impressive. You have relationships to manage, choices in combat that affect the plot and your reputation, many branching paths, many endings, and a simple but solid dating sim as well.
The prose and dialogue are serviceable (some typos, and it definitely isn't Shakespeare), but it does the job admirably given the fact that this is a game made by a single developer, with no professional writers involved.
Don't be fooled by the simplistic presentation - Heads Will Roll has a lot going on under the bonnet.
I did about 3 runs, making different choices and getting a different ending each time, and I still have lots left to see.
Overall Experience: A Truly Unique and Great Hidden Gem
Played for 20+ hours so far.

- Immersive flash-style RPG game with multiple endings.
- High replayability roguelite mode.
- Passionate Dev, you can tell this game contains this man’s heart and soul. Definitely expect more to come from this team.

[td]Cons[/td]
[td]
- Unless you’re 30+ years old and played a bunch of flash games when you were a child, I think the flash UI is too inconvenient for modern gamers and thus deters many people from trying this game. The initial difficulty curve is also quite brutal and not very rewarding because you’ll most likely fail 60% of the prompts as a randomly generated character.
- There is minimal handholding and the game even tells you that this is for “survival”. The game doesn’t really give you any breathing room if you plan on doing some of the quests as a randomly generated peasant. The power fantasy part of the game comes after you die many, many times.
- Some of the trinkets don't explain what they do (e.g., Fair Maiden Medallion) and I couldn’t find any information online either.
- Need translation to multiple languages at some point. I bet this thing does well if it has a Chinese version.
[*]The font style takes a long time to get used to; maybe add an option to change it to a less harsh font.

[td]Conclusion[/td]
[td]I’m glad that I accidentally stumbled upon this gem. It brought back a lot of memories of playing old flash games. If you’re bored with all the similarly looking AAA games, this is a great change of scene, and you can really slow down and enjoy the vision that the dev wanted you to see. The best thing about this game is the dev team because you know they read these reviews, and they’ll definitely improve the experience somewhere down the line.

I love this game.
This game is a glorious and entertaining pain in the ass.
Production values are amateurish, the writing is serviceable at best, and desperately needs an editor, but: what this game lacks in execution, it makes up in soul. Somebody had a vision and genuine enthusiasm for what they did, and it shines through. Now, I dunno about you, but I'll choose raw amateur product over the polished up-an-coming indie darling any day of the week.
Thoroughly recommended.
Honestly the game is really cool, however it has two really annoying problems. The first is the progressive exhaustion. In no world should my guy be on his last leg after like 3 attack attempts. It really bogs down the whole combat experience and its not like it should be removed it just needs toned down by some. The second problem is hit probabilty and what it tells you vs what is real. I have watched my guy miss a 65% chance 7-10 times in a row. MULTIPLE TIMES. I have a better chance of winning the lottery then that happening. I think the problem is that it is not telling you the true hit chance, so if it just didn't lie to me I would probably not be so annoyed with it. Overall the game is fun, but it gets stale and ripetative on the hardest difficulty after you die in the second battle for the 15th time in a row.
Roguelike in a weird engine. Addictive, pretty good writing. You will die. A lot.
fun
It's a great game and deserves a lot of praise. The only drawback is that it's not in Chinese.

Only completed 2 runs so far, but liking the progression on HWR mode. Interesting game for sure.
Lost over 3 hours of progress because the game failed to save.
The game told me to start off on a difficulty lower than hard, so I chose the "Heads will roll" difficulty obviously, as that is the name of the game ya know. Who did they think they were, telling me what to do...
Anyway, now I know what it feels like to be one of those manga/webtoon characters that die 329 times and repeat the day until they finally manage to survive even though they really really shouldn't have... but they at least get to reach check points, I do not, and boy oh boy is RNG a real b*tch
10/10 wish I'd stay just dead
EDIT: RNG can be f****** bull. Went into a run with over 400 generation points only to lose on the wall during the siege because I kept missing and they kept inflicting me with injuries, bleeds and poisons. Kept getting negatives heaped onto me during scavenging, random BS events in the camp ("you got sick because people are flinging poop at each other, take this negative stat loss and be poisoned.... Oh you're poisoned? well you didn't heal it yet even though it literally just happened lol so here is another negative stat loss lmao get f-ed") and more
Poison is also complete BS. The moment the enemy has poisoned weapon... almost right at the start of the game? Well you are F-ed
EDIT 2: Loving this game, even if its RNG is bull. It feels like I miss way more than I should considering hit chances at 80% or more... meanwhile anything below 60% chance to hit I am yet to land (okay, except once, a shield bash at 41%... that's it, and I've had loads more of attempts). Pretty sure if I ran statistics i'd end up with chances being 10 to 20% lower than what they are showed... but that's not the fault of the game, that's my own RNGesus hating my guts. RNG games always screw me over, then people tell me "but that's not how probabilities work, it should average out"... no, that's not how it works. just because something is highly improbable does not mean that it won't happen. I even ran numbers once for Battle Brothers over a 2 hour session because I got pissed at my RNG, and Lo and Behold I was well below what the game's probabilities told me (Still remember once missing multiple times in a row, which equated to something lower than a 1% chance of occurrence)
But it's not too bad once you get used to dying to BS, and leveling your profile is a lot of fun. Currently running a two-handed sword build and it's super fun with my way more powerful character, splitting shields and severing heads with (relative) ease (for now)
