    +Great looking game +Lots of potential --- Dev only care about trade show and not the players - Physical Class completely overpower magic classes due to stats on treasure - Very grindy Dev does not read forum feedback to fix issues, nor actively participate in forum discussion to address player questions or issues. Future Plan show Dev is out of touch with player base.

    Completely fails to iterate upon the Vampire Survivors formula in a lot of very frustrating ways. Within the first hour or so, you can "solve" the game by figuring out exactly the combination of heroes and items you'll need to beat the game. You'll then have nothing to do but grind again and again and again until you accumulate the metacurrency required to unlock all the classes, items, and passive damage upgrades you'll need to actually execute that solution. One of the biggest flaws here is…

    Progress: ~19 hours in. I’ve unlocked all upgrades and reached the second difficulty. Overall Impression: Seed of Heroes is an enjoyable game with a unique style and engaging tile dodge mechanics. The visuals were what initially drew me in. However, there are a few areas where I believe the developers could make improvements to enhance the experience, especially for new players. Areas for Improvement: User Interface (UI): The UI can be unclear at times, particularly when unlocking…

    I'm having a great deal of fun with it, personally. But I'm also not stupid enough to recommend it, especially in it's current state. Screen is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. It's way too much effort to even understand basic information in regards to what's happening on screen. In addition to there just being generally too much going on at any given time. Power is gained WAY too slowly. Grind is insane. You pretty much won't see past boss 4 or 5 until past 5+ hours of grinding. And that's omega no…

    It's a grind fest. 4 hours in and can't get past 12 minutes. At 12 minutes it's the most bullet hell game I've played. To elaborate, this isn't like other action roguelikes where you can build your way out of a problem. The enemy spawns patterns of squares underneath you constantly requiring you to play a mini game of dance dance revolution while you kill things.

    A great quality with massive content for a twin stick-shooter roguelite. Game offer you almost 30 classes with unique leader skill and you have upto 7 slots to create your own party. Each class can also advance to high class and master in the run to make you stronger and go deeper. Each run will reward you with gem to upgrade your stat and unlock over 100 treasures, aka active/passive skill. Some treasure has a gimmick to play with class of your heroes as well. this give you a ton of fun for…

    Short Impression: Very refreshing graphic in survivor-like genre. Feel a little like Bravely Default/Final Fantasy's job class setup blended with Vampire survivor. What's good: 1. Different classes'(with lvl up) combo with different treasures reminds me of a lot of JRPGs while serving re-playability relatively well. 2. Cute characters and neat UI suggest a relatively polished game. 3. Maps with different enemies and small mechanics. What could be better: 1. More explanation on what each…

    The game has some cool ideas but the execution is so lacking that it's just a disappointment. The way items are distributed in level ranges strictly limits the way you can build. Even if you picked up an item you can't level it up once you level past the range when it shows up. Maxing out an item tends to come with huge bonuses making it essential. Characters each have 3 items that they want which means your party needs to be built such that you can pick up all the items your party needs. You…

    Add co-op mode and it will be perfect. Be able to choose what treasures or classes you don't want to see in some game will be good as well since we will have more of it in the future and there will be too much of it which make it too hard to find what you want.

    Really nice graphics and dodging mechanics (like FF14/other MMOs). However, there is just way too much other mechanics layered on top, like class domains, ability domains, etc, and how they interact with each 'hero', that makes it a little too convoluted for me to understand. At least there is roguelite progression! Thanks for the hardwork, devs.

    Game has a good base for a fun experience, but holy sh*t, did the devs miss the mark. At it's current state, the game is a grind machine, with really messed up progression system. Absolutely not fun. Soo.. much... GRIND. Will check back in some time, if anything changed, but for now, its really not worth the money or the time.

    Kinda like it, but for now it's a no.. Likes : Chaotic, Multiple heroes/class in party, nice graphic and music. Dislikes : Lack of detail info (esp. the level locked item), level locked item (if it wont be extended, show the limit on item selection and on the hero class selection. selecting archer at level 20 is just a waste of slot), RNG feels bad.

    I've enjoyed the beautiful design of this game, but I think it could be even better with more sound effects for weapon usage and monster hits. Right now, the gameplay feels a bit limited, as there are only options to move and attack. It would be great to see features like gathering experience points and coins from pickups added in the future to give players more ways to engage with the game and feel rewarded for their time.

    The reward system in this game is nonexistent, ive be play for 5 hours now and i dont feel accomplished. there is too much going on on the screen, collision with a monster or an object is a death sentence everything is faster than you does more damage, they take no damage. if there are build out there i dont know after what point you can say you have a build when you are force to the same items over and over. all i knwo im not having fun and every death it felt unfair and stupid.

    this game looks nice and doesn't feel indie. but it's a bit weird? quirky? and has some pain points you should probably know about before i can recommend this game to you. rerolls are very cheap since they use a resource which isn't carried over to next run and gives no reward for hoarding it. you should be rerolling 40+ times per run, and you should almost always have your perfect ideal set of heroes/items for every run this means you have to spend a lot of time in the database figuring out…

    An amazing spin on the Survivors-like genre, with very high replayability and tons of fun, The additional layering of various mechanics at first might seem a little bit overwhelming but when you start getting into it, it only increases the fun of creating an even stronger and more broken combo. Also a big plus for the cute chibi art style it gives this game a unique charm. Small edit. After 10 hours the games novelity runs out and it becomes more of a chore than fun.

    Seed of Heroes Review – Small Screen, Big Adventure Seed of Heroes plants you right in the middle of a classic fantasy tale—heroes, quests, and plenty of baddies waiting to be whacked. It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s charming, colorful, and easy to get into. The combat system is straightforward but satisfying, and the light RPG mechanics give just enough depth to keep things interesting without ever feeling overwhelming. Where it shines most is how handheld friendly it is. The short quest…

    Seed of Heroes takes the familiar bullet-heaven formula and gives it a more tactical identity by placing an entire group of warriors under the player's control rather than focusing exclusively on a solitary character. Developed by Vermillion Digital and published by Sekai Project, it combines the escalating chaos of survival action with party composition, positioning, character abilities, treasure collection, and roguelite progression. Its Norse-inspired premise sends a band of battle-hungry…

    Bought this in August '25. I hoped it will get patched because it showed some potential. But nothing happened since then, game still feels raw and unfinished, controls are clunky, menus/UIX are awful. Game needs polish, right now there is no recommendation as you won't have fun fighting with the controls instead of fighthing with the enemies.

    Game had potential, but its a solved game thats almost needlessly grindy and they have abandoned it. If this game was cheaper, like Megabonk, then it could recommend it, but it was clearly just throw together and i guess they couldn't find motivation to continue since it didnt go viral. Just go play Megabonk instead.

    The game is fine at difficulty 1, but other than this difficulty the scaling at 2+ does not make sense and makes the game unplayable at all. Would not recommend if you're looking at vampire survivor clone. The game scaling is so bad it seem like the developer did not even put much thought into it nor tested it. And just randomly slap and double numbers for no reason since they don't even know about basic game level design on the difficulty scaling.

    I'm leaning toward negative for this one. 1- Bad scaling of monsters: from the first trash mob. 3~4 hits to kill 1 small monster? 2- Impossible boss scaling for first time or even 10th time play-through. 5x hp > 10x HP? > 20x HP?! 3- Aiming hits: you need to be 90% accurate in your aiming, and for bosses you need to predict-aim where they would go as the hit at the tip of the animation? feels like the slice animation isn't a hit-box as a whole. 4- No Auto-aim function (maybe I've missed it?).…

However it is complicated and you need a bit of patience to build up the knowledge and skill to get to the core of excitement. It is very rewarding once you figure things out.

    It's one of those games where you start off bad. The game is vampire survivors where you survive until Ragnarok and try to last. Usually your first run lasts for around 10 or so minutes. Until you get upgrades then you slowly moved towards that 30 minute mark. Then Ragnarok happens.
