HonestGamers Review // Lionheart

Gary Hartley Writes: Lionheart is a monument to grind. It loves nothing more. If there’s a goal to obtain, an obstacle to overcome or a secret to find, the answer is--universally--that you need to grind some more. Nothing gets done without grind. Want to do something other than advance the plot? Perhaps you'd like to see a bit of character development? Sure, that’s an option... but it lies behind the grindwall. Think it’s time to put to use some of that gold you’ve obtained through your countless hours of grinding? I mean, you could. But not for something useful like better armour; you’ll need to collect items you can’t buy for that. How do you get those items? Through grind. As in all RPGs, your characters gain experience and grow in strength, which is accomplished through grind. That’s standard, but do you also want them to learn new, powerful moves to complement the stat-buffing level gains? Those don’t grow organically with levels. You need special items to trigger instances that teach your crew those advanced skills. Those special items first have to be built. And how do you get the items you need to build them? Grind, grind, grind.
