Class of Heroes

About

Class of Heroes casts you as a student at Particus Academy, a school that trains future adventurers. You spend your days navigating procedurally generated labyrinths, battling enemies and completing objectives to earn grades and advance through the curriculum. Combat uses a turn-based grid system with elemental weaknesses and class-specific abilities. Missions range from fetching items to slaying bosses, with loot and experience directly tied to your academic progress. The game stands out for its quirky blend of school life and dungeon crawling. Each labyrinth shifts in layout and enemy placement, encouraging replayability. While the 2008 PlayStation Portable release shows its age visually, the core loop of grinding stats and customizing builds remains satisfying. A small but vocal fanbase still praises its addictive progression system and the novelty of treating adventuring like a semester-long course.

Storyline

Why did they appear? What were they created for? The answer still eludes us. What we do know, is that the mysterious labyrinths appeared decades ago, and with them, the world was changed forever. Their true form unknown and ever-changing, they sprawl across the world like a web, connecting towns and villages, mountains, lakes, and deserts. Many adventurers delved into these labyrinths dreaming of riches, and those fortunate enough to return did so with tales and treasures untold. It was only natural that the children of our world began to look upon these heroes with their unconditional admiration. And as they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Here at our campus, we strive to equip young men and women with the tools they’ll need to become full-fledged adventurers. To all the bright-eyed students stepping through our gates for their first term: Welcome. We hope your studies here are as enriching and productive as you’ve dreamed they would be. - Principal Feinman
