About

The Age of Heroes is a late-generation weapons-based 4-player arcade brawler based off of Chinese mythology. It's similar to the Capcom Dungeon and Dragons games because it has advanced techniques and an inventory button to cycle through items and spells. It's also notable for its pre-rendered CGI sprites.

Trivia

To create graphics like this, artists render high-def 3D models and then capture sprite images from them. This is how Donkey Kong Country was made. This is one of the few Korean-developed brawlers.

Age of Heroes is alright. It has a somewhat advanced combat engine and competent presentation. I couldn't get into it because the enemies are too similar to one another and none of them put up much of a fight. Meanwhile, bosses have a ton of health so the game is really long yet not exactly intense. The graphics and sound aren't great either.
