Valthirian Arc: Hero School Story 2 Coming To Steam Early Access This Summer

Fans of Valthirian Arc: Hero School Story rejoice as PQube and developer Agate has revealed their plans to bring the sequel to early access on Steam this Summer. The game will see players become the principal of a brand-new hero academy that they can run their way. Valthirian Arc: Hero School Story 2 promises hours of genre-defying gameplay as players nurture their students through beautifully handcrafted narrative arcs. Pioneering the academy will involve management sim mechanics while players can also embark on dangerous missions with tactical, turn-based combat.

Valthirian Arc: Hero School Story 2 aims to combine the best of the simulation and RPG genres. It is a game where attention to detail and strategic decision-making is rewarded with more resources, talented new students, and even new job classes to unlock. Every student in the game is unique too and comes with their own combinations of skills, talents, and traits. Adversaries will be just as varied, and players must use strategic forecasting to conquer them in the unique round-based battle system. Players can tactically queue actions and moves while commanding a full view of the battlefield. The unique puzzle elements will also allow players to exploit enemy weaknesses in combat.

Players who enjoy management sim mechanics can look forward to designing the school as they please. For the best results, they need to take into account the preferences and needs of the students but are free to adorn the grounds and halls of the academy any way they like. It is even possible to set the uniform colors of the academy and choose a banner emblem that matches your preferences.
