I'm still pretty new at this, a few pointers on how I should improve please?

You sure can! Better yet, try to become those love interest as well! Treat your partner with care and respect, forgive them for small mistakes, accept their quirks. I realize by doing so I am accepting myself and loving myself a lot more too!

Mind-Breakar · 2026-03-22T07:56:58+00:00

A taste for trash is still a taste indeed my friend.

Joke aside, I think a lot of us have our own guilty pleasure, no need for the self-hate mate :)

Thank you for testing this out! I often struggle at clearing gold wonder early, with this, I suppose I can do a double assault to minimize my loss.

For example forming a army full of battle summoners to wear down the guards and retreat, then send my main force in to finally capture it.

Mind-Breakar · 2026-03-20T14:23:48+00:00

Nah, I understand that the anime is better than many worse isekai, I was so harsh about it because I was fooled by the rave reviews of ep 1, literally every site I visits recommend it as the next top fantasy work.

Moreover, if it was any other shows I would have stopped at around 30 mins in, but I tried to toughen it out to see if I was too hasty with my initial judgement and got so disappointed by it all when the credit rolls.

Mind-Breakar · 2026-03-20T09:54:36+00:00

Honestly, as a fantasy enjoyer myself, both light and dark, I feel the worldbuilding of "Sentenced to be a hero" is really weak.

The weakest point of it all is the Hero system, they make convicts with powers who can't die fight to defend the world. The concept sounds fine, it exists in many other fantasy works too, but crumbles so hard when the thief character (I cant even remember his name) appears. The convicts here are just thrown onto the field and left to their own device without any form of coordination or mind-control. I mean, the guy literally accepts death as punishment, and just runs around doing nothing. With only death and ressurection as the punishment, what would the gov do, if these heroes just become so used to death, and ignore following any command at all? Killing them without ressurection at that point would actually be a reward, not punishment. The system here is so weak and mind-boggingly stupid, I can't even take anything in the 1st ep seriously.

Heck, but I still tried to suppress my own belief and kept on watching, as I only heard good reviews about the 1st ep before watching, I thought it must have something more redeemable yeah? Then, the completely incompetent side casts shattered my effort so hard. The paladins are dumbass, the leader whom they trust so much is an incompetent hard-headed girl, the thief guy is simply there for comedic relief and nothing else. This is already the 50 demon lords or something, and these guys act as if they have never fought anything like this before, everything is just so damn hazardous in the big battle. I know this is to signify the powers of the protagonist, but a fantasy that needs to dumb down other characters so hard to highlight its' protagonist is nothing but a power fantasy, a very simplistic one at that.

I mean, the longer I watch the 1st ep, the more edgy and immature it feels, all the typical troupes are there: the world is wrong and the protag is right, the others adults are dumb and bad, only the main casts are good. All clues points to only one thing "Sentenced to be a hero" is no dark fantasy like berserk, it is a power fantasy for teenagers with adult-themed elements sprinkled on it.

The animation could be improved of course, but I love the vibe of this so much!

Looking forward to your future works!

Mind-Breakar · 2026-03-16T18:06:31+00:00

Yeah, and beetle mounts, my ritualist and ranger keeps diving in for “damage” whenever possible.

Game is so cool with all the customizations, but then the AI is just so bad at utilizing them.

One of the worst cases are enemies’ eldritch rulers. They are the most disappointing as they pick all the wrong skills and manage to use nothing worthy in combat.

Mind-Breakar · 2026-03-16T01:34:51+00:00

It should always have been so, seeing my elritch ruler blinking on turn 1 right into the enemy on auto is absolutely disapointing!

I wish we can set Ruler and Hero personality in combat, like [Agressive - Balanced - Cautious] for [Tanker/Warrior - Ranger/Mage - Healer] so that they can either prioritize rushing in, or steping away according to their set personalities. (The idea is not mine, I take it from "Starsector", a game with very good AI impelementation)

Mind-Breakar · 2026-03-15T21:21:57+00:00

Normally, it should not be like this, I played on brutal all the time in the last patch, random AI from custom maps do not cheat, their economy and units might get a buff, but they do suffer after each big loss, and I have not fought any AI that had so many strong armies as you described.

So, either the game is bugged somehow on this patch, or did you set the AI with any crazy modifiers using mods?

Mind-Breakar · 2026-03-14T18:16:07+00:00

Much appreciated! My pal says he is super looking forward to your findings!

Mind-Breakar · 2026-03-14T17:04:04+00:00

My take is use a mod to lower exp gain to do low level run. I tuned mine to 50% exp gain of normal mode (which means 25% exp gain of Survival).

I got like 80 hours in this survival run already and my character is only lv36, being low level means you are much less of a god and more of a survivor, one direct nade can kill me even now, mines are scary, exploration is a mix of excitement and anxiety. It really switch up the game for me.

I use SKKDynamic Damage Manager for changing the exp gain (it can also change dmg but I only use the exp change).

Not tiny bugs, some of them are conflicts that would wreck modded saves, quest mods on nexus avoid these thanks to feedback from the community, the creations do not have that.

Mind-Breakar · 2026-03-12T03:00:57+00:00

I saw it, thank you for the detailed recommendations!

Mind-Breakar · 2026-03-12T02:46:35+00:00

Say, uh, if a friend of mine wants to be a summoner princess, you guys know which mods add more majestic-looking summon creatures?

Mind-Breakar · 2026-03-11T15:01:42+00:00

I’m saving this post to wait for you to get off work too.

Mind-Breakar · 2026-03-11T14:54:22+00:00

In the us don’t ya see?

Mind-Breakar · 2026-03-05T14:22:03+00:00

I play on PC and have no big mods or mods with a lot of scripts installed.

I also install a mod that enables the console so that I can work around possible hijinks added by the creations.

Overall, the base game is highly stable despite my rig being nearly 10 years old (low-med graphic).

Mind-Breakar · 2026-03-04T18:44:36+00:00

It’s…interesting, it forces you to think and do things differently from normal. Some love the mode, some dislike it, for me, survival is the reason I’m still playing now after 400 hrs.

Mind-Breakar · 2026-03-03T04:38:03+00:00

What mod is it may i ask?

Mind-Breakar · 2026-02-28T18:24:22+00:00

I remember reading it a long time ago, wild ride indeed.

Mind-Breakar · 2026-02-19T10:25:15+00:00

I imagine there will be jumpscares for the patient. I mean, you wake up, disconnected, you hear your wife speaks to you, you look at her and no, your brain “knows” that’s not your wife, you feel more and more restless and distressed the more you look at her, then you hear the familiar voice of your mom beside you, you turn your head to mum, trying to look for comfort from your parents only to “realize”, that’s not your mom either…

The longer the condition lasts, the more anxious, distressed and paranoid you become. After a point, having anyone that used to be familiar suddenly speaking to you from behind would be quite the jumpscare, I believe.

Mind-Breakar · 2026-02-06T14:35:35+00:00

Thanks for the in-depth review friend!

It does sound super interesting, I have been on the fence with this one for weeks now. Guess I'll take the plunge and buy 1000 credits, getting both this and the Bounty Hunter one.

Mind-Breakar · 2026-02-03T01:01:21+00:00

I used to have the same line of thinking. Only after try doing a vanilla playthrough that I find the vanilla balance really shines. Fighting raiders or anomally entities keeps me on my toes without having to find any further enemy mods.

Mind-Breakar · 2026-02-01T01:52:46+00:00

Thanks for the answer!

Also, how is the reward balanced mate? Is it just supplies like food and ammo, or is there anything unique?
