Now as all games similar to Heroes Of The Sword, each class brings with it a set of certain skills.
Choosing a class will depend entirely on the sort of gameplay you prefer, whether you like being stealthy, sneaky, a healer, or a long-range fighter, there is a class for your division of gameplay.
Another great advantage in Heroes Of The Sword, is that if you choose a class and you’re not entirely happy with your choice? You can easily own 4 characters.
When you exit the game and log back in, you can select your previous character, or choose a new class!
Speaking of gameplay, let’s get right to it!
Heroes Of The Sword – Gameplay
You are able to select a name for your character on this pre-game screen as well. Simply select the icon on the bottom-right-hand side of your screen in the class selection screen. See the image below:

Once you have done that, select the New Character Icon below your name, also on the bottom right-hand side of your screen.
Take note that for this guide, the Shadow Warrior is the class we will be referring to, as it was the one chosen for this guide.
Once you have selected your class, you will be taken to a screen with all sorts of enemies.

Your character will automatically begin destroying enemies and collecting items, you will not need to do much.
However, if you think this is a simple game with not many things to do, the gameplay is extensive with various icons and missions you will need to complete in order to progress.
Your character will run to different NPCs around the map, those with a question mark (?) icon above their heads. These NPCs will give you missions that you will need to complete.

Additionally, you are able to toggle the automatic gameplay settings for a limited amount of time, if you wish to do so.
For a new player just starting out, this feature is highly recommended in order for you to learn the basic mechanics first.
To toggle the automatic feature, select the “auto” button in the center of your screen at the bottom.
In addition to this, you can use your joystick on the left-hand side to make your character move to where you want them to go.
As we mentioned, this is not a permanent solution, and should not be considered a long-term fix to the automatic feature.
If you’re a gamer who prefers the automatic feature, also note that you cannot leave the game running continuously and expect it to continue. There are some points in the game that you will need to select proceed, or in this instance, challenge.
Once you have entered the map, you will go on a bunch of quests automatically, don’t be alarmed by all the icons on the screen, we will try to cover them a bit as we go along.
A few of the extensive features available will be listed below:
Arena

Heroes Of The Sword – Join A Guild

Note that if the server is full, you will find it hard to find a guild that is not already full.
You are able to chat with guild members, just make sure that the guild you join speaks your language, or communication may be a major issue.
Guild quests are available that help you obtain various rewards of significant value. Make sure you have what it takes, and earn rewards that will help your character become OP.
You are able to store equipment obtained throughout Heroes Of The Sword, by placing the equipment in the guild storage.

Note that doing so is not a guarantee that your equipment will remain there, you would need to create your own guild in order to set the settings in such a way that other members are unable to take the gear.
Bosses
In certain games, there are a few bosses you need to challenge, however, in Heroes Of The Sword, the bosses are everywhere! More bosses are equivalent to more rewards, so we are not complaining!

A few of the Bosses are as follows:
- World Boss – You can go against various players on your server, and try to reach the top of the ranks while attacking these bosses, as your rewards are worth so much more if you manage to beat other players!

- House Of Bosses – Make sure you are geared up for each type of boss, as some of them are really hard to defeat! Certain bosses open up after various achievements have been completed, this boss is one of them.

- Personal Boss – This may sound easy, but trust me when I say, it is not! You will go up against your own personal boss, and if you are not well-equipped, you will die!

- Guild Boss – Your guild Leader is the only person who can activate the guild boss, so be sure to look out for when the boss will be activated!
These are only a few mentioned, however, there are additional bosses on the map as you progress, as well as throughout the game. Quests give you additional bosses you will need to defeat.
Find Romance!
This may seem cheesy to some, however, if you’re the romantic type, this is meant to be! You can find your own romantic partner in Heroes Of The Sword!

If you want to make your romance public? Get hitched! You can either sit and watch on the sidelines as someone else gets married, or you can be brave enough to tie the knot yourself!
