Class of Heroes 3: Remaster is a 3D dungeon-crawling RPG set in a high school where students battle monsters in randomly generated floors. Developed by ACQUIRE Corp. and published by PQube, it released on September 18, 2025 for PC, PS5, and Switch. The game blends team-based strategy with a schoolyard setting, letting players lead a group of classmates through procedurally generated dungeons. With expanded classes, characters, and new mechanics, it serves as both a sequel and a deepened experience for series veterans. The core appeal lies in building a balanced party, mastering gear upgrades, and surviving increasingly complex floors. Ideal for fans of tactical RPGs who don’t mind learning a steep curve.
Each session starts with assigning classes to 5, 10 students, who gain unique skills and weaknesses. Combat is turn-based but emphasizes positioning, elemental matchups, and equipment management. You explore procedurally generated floors, fighting enemies, collecting loot, and unlocking shortcuts. Every three floors, you restock supplies and reconfigure your team. The grind is slow but deliberate, with gear upgrading requiring specific materials and synthesis. Bosses at the end of each dungeon demand precise strategies, often hinging on exploiting enemy traits. The UI feels cluttered, but the depth in class synergy and floor randomization keeps late-game runs fresh. Sessions last 2, 4 hours, with the challenge ramping steeply in later chapters.
The PlayPile community gives it a 4.3/5 rating, with 65% of players achieving 100% completion. Average playtime is 17 hours, though 30% report over 30. Community moods are split between nostalgic ("the school setting still hits different") and curious ("never played the first two, but the remaster feels modern"). Critics praise the added content but note the difficulty spike. One user wrote, "The class system is deeper than it looks, but the tutorial is a brick wall." Achievements (57 total) reward exploration and boss kills, with 82% of players unlocking at least 30. A 2025 review from RPGamer called it "a rewarding grind for patient tacticians."
Class of Heroes 3: Remaster is a niche gem for players who love grinding through complex systems. At $39.99, it offers 20, 30 hours of challenge, but the early tutorial could frustrate newcomers. Series fans will appreciate the expanded lore and mechanics, while others may struggle with its slow pace and punishing difficulty. The 57 achievements (400 total points) cater to completionists. If you enjoy methodically optimizing builds and conquering procedurally generated floors, this is a must-play. Otherwise, skip it, there’s nothing here you can’t find in more accessible RPGs.
