Hero's Journey First View

RPG Vault has released another one of their "first view" articles, this time providing commendations, reservations, and considerations for Simutronics' Hero's Journey.
As we have seen in our series of features on specific game elements, the design incorporates a variety of interesting and imaginative ideas. Although the list may not yet be final, the Warrior, Ranger, Rogue, Wizard, Necromancer, Gearknight, Healer, Cleric and Bard classes tentatively named so far provide a nice range, and with the character system having both primary and secondary options, there should be even greater flexibility than this number initially indicates. The company's proven expertise using part-time GameMasters to create and run events bodes well for this aspect. The Hero Engine technology has proven impressive enough to be licensed by BioWare for its online world project. From what we've seen to date, the graphics appear to be competitive.
