Valthirian Arc: Hero School Story 2 (PS5)

Combining the RPG and simulation genres, manage your students by determining their learning schedules and courses, building their stats and skills to shape them into the heroes you desire.

These stats are key when sending your students to fulfil quests from people all over Valthiria, defeating various enemies in strategic turn-based combat and adding to your academy’s renown.

Yet there’s no time to rest on laurels – every school year the seniors will graduate, and freshmen will enrol, so managing your academy to fit the dynamic roster of students is crucial!

Create Your Own Hero Academy - As Principal of the academy, your task is to allocate your students what classes and courses to learn, shaping them into the heroes you want them to become? Your management style will determine the kind of quests you can take – as enemies are locks to students’ keys, fulfilling harder quests will require build specific rosters to solve these challenges.

Plan, Forecast, Execute, Repeat - Foresight and strategic turn-by-turn decisions are critical to succeed in our unique turn-based combat system. Built around class-based proficiencies and breaking enemy weaknesses, players are rewarded both for bringing an optimal team composition and taking calculated risks in combat!

Manage a Dynamic Student Roster - Despite the lure to focus on caring and honing just the best students, as a principal it is your duty to ensure that every child taken under the wings of your academy thrive. Students will stay for only three years before they must graduate, and every one of them will affect your academy’s reputation (which will deter gifted students to enrol next year!).

Decisions That Matter - Make key decisions around the school which have lasting effects in-game!
