Heaven & Hell episode III - Rise and Fall of the Hero by Kharan5876

 
In what initially appears as a classical fantasy world populated by various races, a mysterious man named Sirran has created a highly technological city and crowned himself emperor. He now rules like a tyrant, but a rebel movement called Operation Resistance was created and Commander Fleet leads a secret operation against Emperor Sirran. 
Enters our hero, Ayen, a new agent assigned to a team that includes the wizard Celine Ashe and the cleric Professor Marx. Ayen will be involved in a mission that will make him visit many place all around the world and fight seven tracherous humans that possess powers received from the seven deadly sins.

 
Heaven & Hell episode III begins with a prologue where we play as a very powerful character named Kharan (like the developer of the game), but after that short introductive part it makes us choose Ayen's class, and there are 15 of them. I personally chose the Monk, since Celine and Marx are a Wizard and a Cleric, later you may also find a Rogue, a Fighter, a Paladin and others, but the party limit is of four characters, so you may use the ones you prefer. The classes are all taken from Advance Dungeons and Dragons, and so are the skills and spells. The setting instead, despite the presence of dwarves, elves and drows, is a modern fantasy world that includes firearms and futuristic vehicles.
 
 
 
Random Fact: this was NOT a game in a series. There are no episode I or II, and unfortunately this game is also just a demo, however it has a lot of content included, and can offer hours of adventures.
 

Final Verdict: a very ambitious project that uses a custom made system, I'm not sure that the classes are balanced nor that the game is without flaws, however it's really enjoyable, unique and full of content. There are also many interesting maps, some isometric or side view scenarios.
