60 of 67 · most liked firstAsdivine Hearts looks like a charming reincarnation of the old 2D JRPGs from the 16/32Bit era. It kind of reminds me of games like Lunar, Grandia and Phantasy Star. We've had quite a few games of this type released over the last few years, but as a true fan of the genre, I was a bit disappointed with many of them, since they felt a bit dull, as if being 2D JRPGs with turn-based battles and a semi-decent story was supposed to be enough to make them good games. I've only just begun playing…

You'll see and hear it all within the first 5 hours. Then it's recycled and thrown at you again and again and again. What a grinder.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After 21 hours, I found this turn-based RPG to be a chore to play. Not a good sign... I tried to get into this game, but nothing here can keep my interest anymore. Pros: -Nice artwork, unique character design, bright colorful graphics. -Steam overlay support, low system requirements, decent price. -Xbox 360 controller support no setup required. Cons: -Story is boring, towns are bare bones, battle system gets boring. -Music is terrible, sound effects are terrible, no voice acting. -Character…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Disclaimer: This 'review' does not convey the full extent of the experience as I couldn't play it past 20 minutes. My first impression of this game is negative. Its not abysmal, its not mediocre either. My first feelings after playing this game for a bit was regret and disapointment. Which seems to be a trend for many new games on Steam nowadays, but I digress. !!BEWARE!! This is a mobile port. Which is important information that is surprisingly missing from the steampage and even other…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What can i say about this game? It involves a hilarious talking cat, a boy and girl who are so close act like brother and sister, parallel worlds, Gods, and treasure hunting. This is a great rpg, and from what i heard of this, it is a phone port, but we don't get all the rest of the game series on here for some reason. This game is quite fun and i really enjoyed it when i played it. This game is much recommended just for the funny comments the cat has with the heroes..especially the…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Originally released in 2014, and later ported to Steam in 2016, Asdivine Hearts is a 2D Turn-Based JRPG developed by the well known studio Exe Create Inc. Completely inspired by the classics, this is one of those titles that bring memories in HD, that is to say, classic gameplay, with a modern approach! In the fabulous world of Asdivine, two distinct deities are responsible for the stability of the world. The Light deity, and the Shadow one. Both important, as one creates life, and the other…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →WIN! I'm enjoying this game. The writing is amateur and non-serious, and I find myself smiling and even laughing out-loud when I read some of the dialog between the characters, so win for that. Not everything needs to be super-serious. I can tell there's a story in there, as the creators use classic, and cheesy, anime-style "internal dialogues" to heighten the drama surrounding certain characters and events. Combat feels FAST, most of the time. There are a few abilities, like "BIte", that have…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A simplistic, basic RPG. Goes out of its way to hand hold you. Just going thru basic story scenes you will hear the same fanfare again and again and again of "new quest added" as you're simply walking from A to B. Places to explore literally do not exist until you must go there in the storyline. Skills and magic are annoyingly unbalanced, and as the bosses get harder and harder, you'll find yourself more and more annoyed with how crippled you are. After finishing two major story beats, light…

Overall Rating - Painfully Bad ★☆☆☆☆ First Impressions From what I can recall, my main reason for wanting Asdivine Hearts (AH) was because it had a talking cat. That's what seems most striking about the RPG whenever I check it on in my library, and its store page. I doubt I'm the only person who's acquired a game for so…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/8714972/] Please follow TotalWar:Arena for quality reviews Good things: Well someone knows how to use RPG Maker to make a game and it even looks good. The idea of gems giving various bonuses when placed in the cube is interesting. There is also a good idea that there are formations for your team that gives bonuses. Battle order and how many times you can attack before enemy gets his round depending on speed is also a nice change from most RPG Maker…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A great return of classic JRPG! Among the games published from KEMCO, Asdivine Hearts is worth trying, especially. Sufficient gameplay time with great story. It's the best in this field. Recommend! The main character of this game is Jack. And he was an orphan, but practiced himself hard so far. Now he wants to leave the orphanage with his childhood friend Stella. They help the wounded animal in their journey. That animal was a wild cat. And the cat was related to the spirit of the Light Deity.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game, quite simply, failed to hook me. The graphics are fine and the combat system has some interesting innovations, but the random battles happen way too often. During the first 6 hours, the story failed to develop into anything interesting. I do not think I will continue playing this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A decent pastime game but this game offers nothing new or exciting, and has practically zero replay value. If I was able to I would give a neutral status to this game when it comes to recommendations. Pros + Decent graphics + Difficulty selection + Automated combat + Clear skill upgrade system Cons - Censorship - Lazy sprite usage - One dimensional characters Final verdict: ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆★★★ 3/10 - Bad The game looks and feels much like any older JRPG, the character designs are quite nice and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The combat in this game very quickly became boring to me. Some story elements where kinda interesting, but the characters are so annoying that I couldn't get into it. The female characters in particular are very badly written imho.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Ehh I mean it's not terrible? But I can't really think of much it does that's worth seeing. But the characters are pretty one dimensional, the plot is very RPG-by-the-numbers, the world and dungeon design is super uninspired, the soundtrack is incredibly limited, the combat is OK I suppose, and it gets pretty grindy and really starts to drag towards the end. I can't really recommend this, especially at £9. It's a pound cheaper on the Google Play Store if you're that desperate. PS: If you are…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →https://youtu.be/EBEIQDyFreU The powers of light and darkness clash once again and this time some unexpecting mortals are sucked into the conflict. Join 'Zack SwordBro' and 'Stella Whipston' as they try to abandon their pet cat in the local forest only to have it possessed by a deity, and then things get real zany! The choice to go with fewer high quality visuals for makes Asdivine Hearts stand out from the increasingly crowded RPG market. Fortunately the gameplay is there to back it up and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While overall I have been enjoying this game, mostly due to story and RPG elements, I do have a few gripes: - Very weird thematically. It has a fairly PG-13 art style and plot overall but I was surprised about a couple story events like the perverted guards who try and fondle the female characters and the "don't touch me there". Personally, I didn't have anything against it but it seemed off... if it were me, I would either give up the "PG" image entirely or make something that I felt would be…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Graphics & sound are quite ok, though the game is locked to 30fps and motion looks bad as a result. Controller support is functional yet navigating the menus with it takes time to get used to since all overlays assume keyboard control. The story is interesting enough. The gameplay itself is fun. Gem management can seem a chore, though it does add an interesting element to the game. Overall it feels like PC emulation of an enjoyable jrpg.. The port could have done with more polish though it's…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As a fan of RPG games, I appreciate this game. It isn't the flahiest, but the writing is good, at least in the two hours I have played so far. This game has many improvements you may have seen in games of this genre such as a layered battle order (front, middle, back rows), active time battles where a character's speed etc. determine their attack order, and a unique gem equipping angle which boost your stats as well as give you something interesting to craft. You also have trust levels with…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DRM or requires Steam active to play. No go.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I had been eyeing Asdivine Hearts for sometime. I can honestly say I am glad that I did purchased the game. I haven't played a good Turn Based RPG in a long time. Once you get use to the Keyboard and Mouse continues it plays just like any other old school RPG. I am playing on my Mac and it's pretty nice and runs smoothly. I tried to play this via Big Picture via my Steam Link and can never get it to load. So although it says Full Controller support, i just wanted to let you know that it…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can't say alot for my history with Kemco, this being the second game of theirs that I've bought ("Chrome Wolf" on mobile being the first), I gotta' say though: I'm quite impressed. With respect towards those who haven't played this game yet, I won't spoil the plot (essentially, the characters are escorting a "light deity" (in the form of a cat) to regain his/her/it's former power in order to defeat the "shadow deity"), but it seems pretty run of the mill for an rpg as far as plot goes. Where…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →RPG Maker strikes again! This is another low effort retro-pixel JRPG ripoff spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit... in their own words, "Our easy to use tools are simple enough for a child." This isn't even a good RPG Maker game. It's long, grindy, and while some attempts were made to do more than just RPG Maker cookie cutter rubber stamps, the attempt falls flat, and whatever value might be in this game is completely obliterated by the terrible…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Kemco, the makers of many classic SNES games like Top Gear and Lagoon, and who now makes games nearly exclusively for the mobile market, decided to make/translate a few of their games to the PC. (And FWIW I wish they would bring more to the PC). I've played their games before many times on many systems, and one thing all their games seem to have in common is an almost generic consistancy. They don't push the envelope in terms of graphics or gameplay. But sometimes that's OK: there are thoes…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A great 2D-JRPG that you can see alot of effort was but into the game. It's good to see that this isn't just some RPGMaker game, but a decent developed JRPG game. :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →That moment when you remember how much you love JRPGs 10 bucks is steep but there seems to be alot of game in here Paying a premium for japanese imports is as american as apple pie High production value and amazing artwork If you are needing a jrpg fix you will not be dissapointed You already know.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Asdivine Hearts is a classic, party-based JRPG that aims for a familiar “old-school” adventure: explore towns and dungeons, talk to NPCs, and fight a steady stream of turn-based battles. It doesn’t try to reinvent the genre, but it delivers a straightforward journey with a light tone and a comfortable pace. The story starts with a world that’s gradually slipping into trouble after a strange event, and the main characters get swept into something much bigger than their everyday lives. Early on,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's an alright JRPG. Not interesting at all for those who don't enjoy the genre, but if you do, you'll get some fun out of it. Exploration and questing is extremely basic, and the story is too. Characters are okay; there's a bit of a harem angle with the central man but it doesn't go to weird/creepy anime levels. The jewels (which essentially amount to accessories in other games, despite how different the system initially appears), and what you can do with them, are pretty neat, however they…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good fun, interesting storyline, simple but enjoyable battles.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →NOTE: I received this in a Humble Bundle. It included the game on Steam, as a DRM-free download, and an Android APK. I have played it almost entirely on Android, and also partly as a DRM-free download on Linux. This is why my hours on Steam do not reflect my actual playtime (which is probably about 10 hours so far). I've played many, many RPGs in my life. I look for certain things which draw me in, and this game ticked many of the boxes. I haven't finished it yet, so my review might get…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played the game back when it was released for the iphone, and i must say i really enjoyed the game so damn much, it may not have the best story line nor characters, but for a 9.99 game, it is indeed worth it; of course im a rpg fanboy since my very first game, and i must play every single rpg that comes out no matter the platform; when the game released for the pc i decided to play yet again, and i was happy when i discover that Microtransactions were removed or replaced actually. I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very good JRPG with challenging fights and interesting storyline. I originally played on normal mode, but I have to switch to easy just to rush the story line! One bad aspect of this game is the equipments. They are uninteresting and you need to keep upgrading them on a regular basis to go forward. Past your 3rd or 4th equipment upgrade, you will get boring with them. The items are quite nice. A few of them are quite helpful, but you most likely will never use 80% of them on your run
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I played Asdivine Hearts once when it came out and it barely had my attention. The start was so slow and the game itself felt super generic
unlabelledView post →Bof, il est très rare que je ne recommande pas un jeu, surtout après l'avoir complété à 100%. Ici ce n'est pas un jugement technique que j'applique, mais un jugement de "les goûts les couleurs", comme le dit si bien le reviewer Sucrelune. Ce n'est pas que ce jeu est particulièrement mauvais, mais le qualificatif le plus immédiat qui me vient à l'esprit après l'avoir terminé est: "médiocre". Graphiques, histoire, mécaniques... tout dans ce jeu est médiocre. L'histoire est tellement clichée et…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's hard to give this a full THUMBS UP more like THUMBS IN THE MIDDLE but one good thing about this game was the story. Pros: *Loveable characters, witty dialog, and a well told written story. *Does a decent job as a phone port in terms of a port. *Can save anytime anywhere which is nice seeing how big the dungeons are Cons: *The battle system status alignments could have been done a bit better. There IS an in game help but some of the icons are misleading. For example, confusion is a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has engaging game-play and a great story line. I will say that there is a significant amount of grinding that happens in game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While I don't think anyone is going to call this game exciting by any means it is still entertaining. There are tons of cut scenes, lots of dialog to read through, but it's plenty enjoyable. It isn't necessarily something I'd replay, at least not for a long while, but it was worth what little I paid to get to play it. I have it set on easy and it's nice and causal fun.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game is solid. Feels like an old SNES JRPG.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If someone made a cookie cutter in the shape of a JRPG and then someone with passable baking skills used it, you would get Asdivine Hearts. You have a spiky haired protaganist and all the girls in his party are in love with him. You collevt gems that you spend more time organizing and combining than you do using. You fight the same monsters over and over, but sometimes they are a different colour. I got this as part of a Humble Bundle so I can give it a positive rating, but I would not…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I have played this on both PC and Mobile. Its a great game, and the start of a series of games, Dios, Menace, and Cross are part of the series too. I have purchased a lot of Kemcos JRPGs on Android and would be willing to purchase again on steam.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Come join me as we play a new game and take a break from Asdivine Hearts. Join me at twitch.tv/koopatroopa619 and let's see what fun we get into.
unlabelledView post →I mean, sure, it isn't an AMAZING game or anything. But honestly, it was cute enough for me to keep playing. Some of the design choices caught my attention (like assigning gems) and none of it was so unpalatable that I stopped playing. Don't drop a ton of money on this, especially if you aren't a JRPG fan already, but if you enjoy the genre you'll find this game enjoyable enough to not regret purchasing it, especially on sale. Basically, its a mid-level game at a mid-level price.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pues me ha encantado. Un RPG con un buen combate, más complejo de lo que parece. Con enemigos que pueden estar en 9 posiciones distintas, al igual que tu grupo. Muchas magias y habilidades., con "limits breaks" un poco a lo Final Fantasy VII original, y un ataque especial que se va cargando conforma peleas. La historia empieza muy genérica, pero poco a poco va mejorando mucho. La exploración es donde falla, ya que no hay apenas. De hecho, los pueblos no aparecen hasta que la historia lo…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →20) Asdivine Hearts For a Kemco RPG, this wasn't a bad game. It had a cute story at least.
unlabelledView post →While far from groundbreaking, I think this is the kind of JRPG comfort food that people seeking out this kind of title are drawn to. If you're interested enough to read this review, go ahead and give it a shot. You can certainly do worse for your money in this space.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The playstyle is typical to what you may expect from a JRPG - exponential difficulty spikes that are to be mitigated with hours of monotonous grinding. If you're considering picking up the title, do keep the above in mind as it will feel like a slog at some point. That aside, this is quite well made and fairly enjoyable. The story does make less sense the further you progress into it though. $10 is a little too steep, wait for a 50% sale.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →its fun and strait forward, enough side tasks to give you something to do besides main quests. Totally worth it for the game itself. Just dont expect to use the "currency shop" that used to be how it was monitized but you cant purchase the currency now so its basically impossible to collect enough to buy anything cool, and even if you did you would have something better by the time you did it. For example combat has a "continue" option for 100 currency, which is now only obtainable from rare…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another RPGMaker game that couldn't keep my interest. At least this one looks better and seems more polished than the standard shovelware selection, but that still doesn't make this one a good game. Not recommended.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Initial Review Menu music - better than the earlier 2015 title Alphadia Genesis, complex composition with more instruments and deeper bass frequencies. 6/10 More details later.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was truly terrible. When I moved, the camera jittered. The buttons flashed like they were in a 70s disco. The writing was putting me to sleep. If it hadn't come in one of a bundle, I'd be asking for a refund.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm 7 hours in and enjoying this game quite a lot. It's nothing revolutionary or mind bending, it's pretty much your standard JRPG and that's not a bad thing. If your a fan of the this style of game, you'll probably enjoy this. If you're not, this game won't win you over. Graphics are all 2D, bright, colorful and well presented but, could use a little more variety in the types of enemies (many color variations of the same enemies just tougher). Gameplay is standard turn based battles with…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Asdivine Hearts starts like your average RPG Maker JRPG, which set my expectations very low. I was ready to give up on it after a few minutes of gameplay, but I'm glad I didn't, because the game just kept getting better and better. After beating the game on expert with 100+ hours of gameplay, I can confidently say that this is a hidden gem among RPG Maker-esque JRPGs and it does a lot of things right, especially the battle system. The game never felt too easy at any moment, and never so hard…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game fro jrpg
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A typical KEMCO RPG, with a long interesting story, light-hearted and fun characters, and solid gameplay. As is typical with any KEMCO game I have ever played, the story is very linear with each step taking you on a solitary path across the world map. As such, there isn't much reward for exploration (or maybe I'm just too daft to find it), but at least you won't spend hours wandering around aimlessly. Overall, I would recommend Asdivine Hearts to anyone who enjoys classic JRPG games. I just…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very repetitive and boring gameplay. Story isn't interesting either. Just some mediocre plot written in less than an our but stretched out with unnecessary grinding for each story mission.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A large world. Grind your way to the end credits. As opposed to getting chest pains from the intensity or stuck and/or discouraged in the middle. Cheap too. Which is important when the danger exists of spending $60 and getting stuck, overwhelmed or just not liking it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Tags: Topdown - RPGMaker&PartyRPG Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: This is some sort of custom engine RPGMaker game.
