Class of Heroes 3 Remaster - Review

The Class of Heroes 3 remaster is finally here, and we had a chance to play it. The remaster of the RPG school-themed dungeon developed by ACQUIRE Corp, Zerodiv, and published by PQube was officially released on September 18, 2025. It's a fun, cozy game for all to enjoy, that allows players to explore the dungeon, customize parties, choose schools, and characters to battle, and we enjoyed it.

The remastered version "offers improved graphics and optimization for newer devices, as well as the full English translation of the game." That said, let's dive into our review of the Class of Heroes 3 remaster game.

The Gameplay

The goal of the game is to confront the dungeons full of enemies. Just like the original, the Class of Heroes 3 remaster has the player choose between three schools: Drakken, Takachiho, and Presiana. There's a wide variety of classes to explore and characters to meet along the way. Here, you can experience an enjoyable student life, adventure, and intense battles.

The Drakken school has more realistic classes and offers low-fantasy classes, such as a pastry chef, a doctor, or a nun. The Takachiho school, which I personally chose for my adventure, focuses more on the traditional Japanese occupations such as a shinto priest, an origami master, and a ninja. Modern and high-tech Presiana College teaches you how to be more of a tsundere, otaku, or journalist.

Your characters start in their respective regions, together with a set of uniforms, teachers who train you, roles you take on, and some quests to do. After exploring the classes, the player gets to go on an adventure to other schools to learn about other unique subjects. You get to experience the studies and training to your heart's content, build a team with fellow students, educate them in the "art of evasion," and train in combat.

Players can choose their own party by picking students to battle. The customisable characters can choose a name, gender, alignment, and anything that makes it feel more personal. You can allocate points to various capabilities and have control over deciding the strength of your students. After all, you never know what lies ahead, so you need to be prepared for anything.

Just like the original game, the goal is to build a party of six students that fit your brief and adventure into the labyrinths. To make things even more exciting, there are 100 labyrinths to explore, with over 250 enemies to encounter.

Aside from weapons and potions, there is also a feature where you can mix and match between 10 races and 18 classes with their unique attributes, allowing you to achieve a sure victory against enemies. There are recipes for weapons, potions, and more.

Once you have enrolled in the school of your choice, you can start your journey, but remember that each school has a different difficulty level. Before going into dungeons, I would recommend reading through the tutorial so you don't get a bit stuck in battle. Exploring the dungeon can level up your characters and your chosen party, and then you can earn money to obtain items or materials to be used in the lab. The deeper you go into the dungeon, the harder the enemies will be, which means more exciting challenges ahead.

Additionally, there are small tutorials to help along the way, just in case you need them. Especially while the teachers are training, which I thought was a nice addition. The game is a dungeon-crawler, so you can mix and match your party every time you do a quest. It keeps the game fun, however you like, because you can decide to switch classes and abilities.

It gets frustrating, especially after building your initial party with all the abilities, but I also think it is fun to restart and build from scratch, as it keeps me occupied in the game. It overall allows me to explore something different, trying new abilities.

The relationship chart addition is another highlight. In my case, I had Miss Uzume, who taught me. This addition means that as you build up on your party, you can draw lines and create a relationship chart to decide which characters like each other and which characters do not.

With these relationships, they can lead to advantages or, in some cases, can be a disadvantage in battle. Although you have to be careful, since having characters like each other may also cause another character to dislike another as a result. Of course, you don't want to ruin your connections. Anyhow, I like that this addition gives each character a bit more of a personality, and not just one that is just on the corner of your screen.

My Dungeon Exploration Experience

The concept of the game is fairly simple: explore the dungeon, customise your party, choose your schools and characters to battle with, and so on and so forth. The overall experience I had with the dungeon exploration turned out to be very interesting.

Due to the dungeon-crawler aspect of the game, it can become a bit repetitive. However, the game has so many different labyrinths available and new areas to explore that you will never get bored. Not to mention, the characters you can choose from to build another party. That's why I also appreciate the small tutorials for every new subject or area that describe how to use recommended specific spells, items, and weapons.

There are some unique additions, like the relationship charts between characters to see how they work together. This is my personal favourite aspect of the game since it really brings the characters to life.

Aesthetically, the game is quite cute, and the art style reminds me a bit of Lucky Star. I especially love how all characters are so unique from each other, and all the colors stand out, from the characters' design, background, dungeons, and even the enemies. It looked very clear and sharp, which gave the game a really clean look.

Mechanics-wise, the game is pretty simple. Some of the interesting parts of the gameplay are that the characters can be put in different positions, front or back, which the enemies have as well, and can be changed whenever you like. I liked the option to recruit and customise a variety of different characters by numerous races, stats, and the 45 different classes to learn from.

There were a few things I was not very fond of. The first-person dungeon exploration could be smoother for me, since I struggled moving around without running into the edge, and it felt a bit jumpy in places. The spawn of the enemies was quite close together, which can also be annoying.

However, the game is, at its core, enjoyable. It was also easy to synthesize new weapons as well, breaking them down to craft more, and access quests that mainly ask you to find certain items. It's easy to tell their difficulty by the number of stars coloured in. These quests are nice since I like the idea of being able to have a task to do instead of endlessly wandering around, as it can be frustrating.

In addition, there is the feature to purchase items from the shops, like maps that will be filled in the more you explore, and spells to cast to reveal more of it. It's all easy to follow since there are helpful tutorials, so I don't recommend skipping it or else you might end up getting stuck somewhere.

Class of Heroes 3 Remaster Review Wrap Up

All in all, Class of Heroes 3 Remaster is a fun and cosy game that I think everyone can enjoy. Fans of fantasy-dungeon RPGs would especially appreciate this – from the maps to uncover, classes to learn, characters to build, and how even labyrinths change, so that you are never bored exploring.

My personal favourite highlight of the game's uniqueness is being able to endlessly explore each area and class in the game. For instance, the fact that we can build the relationship charts to bring out more of the character's personality, and how their likes and dislikes can affect the overall battle in the game. I loved being able to customise my characters in my party, learning about their stars, seeing what works and what doesn't. These multiple features were fun to explore, and they ultimately brought my own twist to my gaming experience.

Overall, I loved this game, and I am excited to get back to it to see and unlock more aspects of it. For more information, visit Class of Heroes 3 Remaster on their official website and on Steam.

A big thanks to PQUBE for this experience.
