Nova Hearts

About

Nova Hearts is a turn-based strategy RPG with visual novel elements that blends dating sim mechanics with tactical combat. You play as someone transformed into a hero or villain alongside other "attractive" locals, balancing dialogue-driven relationships with strategic battles. The story follows your return to a hometown now overrun by cosmic chaos, mixing casual banter and romantic pursuits with quests to uncover a mysterious power’s origins. The game stands out for its oddball mix of genres, letting you manage both flirtation and fights in the same narrative thread. Combat uses a grid-based system with unique abilities tied to character personalities, while story choices influence relationships and faction dynamics. Early feedback from preview builds highlights its self-aware humor and the way it twists typical hero-villain tropes with a focus on quirky, modern relationships.
