Supreme Heroes is an Action Fantasy RPG with some Souls-like elements, inspired by the likes of the Kingdom Hearts series and STAR WARS Jedi: Fallen Order, and it follows the life of Jacob Matthew Caullen.
In the modern-fantasy metropolis of Some City, California, Jake awakens his supernatural powers only weeks away from his sixteenth birthday. It's rare enough to manifest one supernatural ability, let alone three!
Jake is still learning who he is and what kind of legend he will become, according to prophecies. Five immortals known as the Select Few, who have been watching over Jake, eventually interrupt his life and bring him to their realm when they feel they have found their chosen one, and they begin to pass onto him the mantle and responsibilities of protecting humanity so that he can fulfill his destiny and become the next Cytro, alongside a new potentially legendary team that he gets to handpick. Of course Jake chooses his four best friends almost immediately, but leading them—encouraging 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.
Having been victors through many of Earth's most historic wars, the retiring Select Few will guide Jake and his new team "The Elect Few" to continue protecting mankind. Perilous events soon force the Elect Few to battle a cursed villain, who can't seem to stay defeated, in order to save the city and together become Supreme Heroes!
But plans don't always go as intended...
The glory of Supreme Heroes's mechanics is in getting to experience a Hack-n-Slash Sword Fantasy coming of age story in a timeline much like our own. Enemies will be using swords and guns while you, as teens, mostly have access to just swords.
One of your team members happens to wield a powerful riot gun, which can be used as an Enlightened Attack. Only certain "Forms" have access to these Enlightened Attacks, but all weapons grant you access to Magic.
Your Magic Casting comes in three types: Short Spells, Mid Spells, and Long Spells. It depends on your choice and what Empyrean Blade you have equipped.
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 "Form" with every new weapon and channel the spirits of the blades' previous wielders on the fly, and 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 from your dreams and in your hometown, a city and desert filled with hidden loot and rare Empyrean Blades!
Crafting allows you to forge your Empyrean swords, hammer, spears, axes, and daggers from recovered minerals for easy access from your inventory, especially during story beats 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!
4 ways you can access your arsenal:
The Stats Menu shows you every weapon you can eventually have and lets you see that weapon's power level and a brief description of its stats as well as your own stats.
The Hot Bar method gives you a persistent and customizable menu that lets you move or replace up to 4 crafted items right from your inventory! Drop items at will and pick them up again to automatically populate the Hot Bar.
The Inventory Menu lets you view, move, drop, and select any of your collected Elemental UNCOMMON, RARE, and LEGENDARY weapons. You can even combine certain minerals with some weapons to increase their efficiency and cut their weight.
The Quick Pack lets you Quick Swap between all uniquely enchanted weapons across all 6 Weapon Classes! (COMMON, UNCOMMON, RARE, EPIC, ELECT FEW, & LEGENDARY)
With your handy Mini Map, you can spot hidden treasures nearby. Don't forget to take the scenic route with your trusty Cytron Motorcycle while in maps where streets are abundant. When you're ready, travel beyond Some City, from the dazzling streets of Neo Paris to the constantly rainy and dreary streets of New Los Angeles. From the sand-swept deserts of the Middle East to the perilous mountain base of North Korea.
Liberate the world 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 your 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 Supreme Hero this planet 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...
