Supreme Heroes is an Action Fantasy RPG inspired by the likes of Kingdom Hearts 2 and STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order, and it follows the life of Jacob Matthew Caullen.
In the modern-fantasy metropolis of Some City, California, Jacob suddenly discovers his supernatural powers only weeks away from his sixteenth birthday. It's rare enough to manifest one supernatural ability, let alone three! But Jacob only did so with the help of five immortals known as "The Select Few".
Having fought in many of Earth's most historic wars, saving and protecting mankind, the aging Select Few now commission Jacob to team up with his four best friends and become "The Elect Few". But convincing them to embrace their untapped supernatural power, remain united in the face of worldly tensions, and accept the mantle of saving the world is all but easy. Perilous events force the Elect Few to battle a recurring villain to save the city and together become Supreme Heroes.
The glory of Supreme Heroes's mechanics is in getting to experience a Hack-n-Slash Sword Fantasy in a timeline just a few decades ahead of our own, so enemies will be using guns while you, as teens, mostly just have access to swords. One of your team members does have access to a powerful nonlethal riot gun, which is classified as an Enlightened Attack. Only certain Forms, like Guardian Forms, have access to these Enlightened Attacks, but all weapons grant you access to Magic Casting.
Your Magic Casting comes in three types: Short Spells, Mid Spells, and Long Spells. It all depends on what Empyrean Blade you have equipped and how much experience you gain.
Every Empyrean Blade comes with an immense array of stats... from swing styles, combos, and stances, to magic casting and defensive abilities... from unique names and histories, to their tremendous enchantment of your armor, allowing you to don a new suit with every new weapon and channel the spirits of the blades' previous wielders on the fly, letting you chain together nigh unstoppable combos against your foes!
Discover or Craft your arsenal and become a Supreme Hero as you face off against villains in your city, a city filled with hidden loot and rare Empyrean Blades! Smelting down recovered minerals and then crafting allows you to forge your Empyrean swords, hammer, spears, axes, and daggers so you can access them from your inventory, even during storyline segments where weapon access is normally restricted. You can also trade obtained goods and minerals with vendors to help you craft the Empyrean blade you're looking for!
3 ways you can access your arsenal:
The Stats Menu (Unlocked at 3+ XP) shows you all the weapons you can eventually have. Once you find them, they'll be ready for your viewing and selection. The Stats Menu lets you preview your new set of armor with each new equip. You can also see that weapon's power level and a brief description of its stats.
The Hot Bar method gives you a persistent and customizable menu that lets you move or replace up to 4 crafted weapons or items right from your inventory however you wish!
With enough Experience (50+ XP), Quick Swap between 8 Elemental UNCOMMON & RARE weapons. As you gain more experience (75+ XP), you can eventually Quick Swap between 6 devastatingly more powerful and uniquely enchanted EPIC & LEGENDARY weapons!
With your handy Map, you can Fast Travel between discovered landmarks or place markers for taking the scenic route with your trusty Cytron Motorcycle.
Liberate the fantastical modern metropolis from your foes to level up as soon as you can. Scattered lore and triggered City Events will populate your Help database with info about those items and enemies. Only then can you unlock more skills and Fly across rooftops or Wall-Run up skyscrapers, finding more loot for crafting and lurking enemies for XP, ultimately becoming the hero this city deserves.
Learn the way of the Heroes by retrieving and retaining Orbs, your source of strength.
Orbs. Are. Everything!
Be mindful of your Orb Gauge (Mana) and your Orb Vitality (Health). Should your opponent deal damage to you, you'll lose Orbs from both your Orb Vitality and your Orb Gauge, robbing you of your very essence and your ability to use Magic.
You'll also gain or lose Orbs depending on the public's perception of you, in a similar fashion to Karma, so don't go slicing too many light posts and trees in half!
Retrieve dropped Orbs and Orblettes to maintain vitality and, more importantly, to unlock new Advances (Skills).
Between your arsenal, your crafting, and your abilities, you should be well-equipped for the world of battle that lies ahead, hero...
