Craving an adventure that's more than just black and white? Heroes of Shaola throws you into a world where good and evil are tangled up tighter than a goblin's beard! This ain't your typical fairy tale. Sure, you'll fight monsters and explore forgotten land, but get ready for some tough choices along the way. The characters you meet are just as complex as the world itself - some with noble intentions, others with hidden agendas. Can you tell friend from foe? In the heart of the world sprawled the Zenman Empire, a titan amongst kingdoms. Nestled within its fertile plains lay Zalumi, the grand capital, a city shimmering with wealth and guarded by four noble houses – the Sutherlands, the Pantelakos, the Totens, and the Rileys. Yet, a shadow crept upon Zenman's grandeur. The Martia Kingdom, once scattered tribes, now a bloodthirsty force, glared down from the north, their hunger for conquest a constant threat. Southward, the Amazail Kingdom, cloaked in an air of deceptive power, watched with silent ambition. Each year, these vassal kingdoms paid tribute to Zenman – a heavy burden of gold, weapons, and even the most beautiful women within their borders. Yet, whispers of discontent grew louder with each passing season. Both Martia and Amazail yearned to break free from Zenman's iron grip. Then, a tremor shook the very foundation of Zenman's power. Leonardo, the sole heir to the Sutherland house, vanished without a trace. Panic rippled through Zalumi, a stark reminder of the empire's growing vulnerability. Meanwhile, whispers reached the Zenman court from a shadowy organization known as the Iron Eagle – both Martia and Amazail were plotting. An alliance brewed in the north and south, a storm threatening to engulf the once-mighty Zenman Empire. Brace yourself for an unforgettable journey filled with twists, treasures, and triumphs.

Press reviews: “This game needs to be played at least twice to find all hidden areas. great storyline with many questions and political overtures. (63.6 hrs at review time)” Recommended – Prudenceanne “The design was very similar to Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, where you not only have traditional JRPG battles but also have ARPG elements to interact with the environment. This game takes it a step further with corpse looting.” Recommended – Robert Starphoenix “This game is great, nice graphics, great story and very exciting.” Recommended – TaelCZ
