Evaluation

Arisen Force: HeroTest launched on October 22, 2024 and received a substantial free DLC update in December 2024 adding six new characters, new high-difficulty stages, new equipment, and a raised level cap. The developer then began work on a major overhaul. On March 31, 2025, the team announced they were rebuilding the game's UI framework from scratch due to deep-seated technical issues with the original engine. Then on September 13, 2025, they went further — announcing "PhoeniX Reborn," a complete framework rebuild that amounts to essentially a new version of the game (described internally as "HeroTest 2.0"). This rebuilt version will bring overhauled levels, a brand-new UI, improved controller/keyboard support, rebalanced difficulty, counter-attack systems for all weapons, a new tutorial, and more. Existing owners will receive the upgrade for free. However, the developer was transparent that this rebuild is contingent on their core team first finishing work on a separate game called Vonimir. No release date or window has been committed to for PhoeniX Reborn. The most recent communication was a minor Windows 11 compatibility patch on February 19, 2026, which confirmed the new framework was still in development at that time. There have been no updates since then (as of June 20, 2026), leaving the status of the rebuild uncertain. The promised content is real and publicly committed to, but its delivery timeline is indefinite and tied to the progress of another project entirely.
Evidence
Developer announces 'PhoeniX Reborn' — a full framework rebuild of HeroTest — with new levels, UI, tutorial, difficulty rebalancing, and counter-attack systems for all weapons. Free upgrade for existing owners. No release date given; rebuild is dependent on core team first completing work on Vonimir.

Procedure

In a fictional time-space setting, players are summoned by a goddess to the Temple of Time to harness powers beyond this world and repel the Void's invasion. The Temple of Time serves as the last bastion and the player's base after each mission. From this sanctuary, players journey to various time-spaces corrupted by the Void, taking on the roles of heroes to rescue them and bring them back to the temple. Together, they march towards the Void-corrupted Demon Tower. In the Temple of Time, players can strategize, assemble their teams, and prepare for battle before embarking on their quests.

Heroes

In the main storyline, players will randomly encounter six legendary hero characters through the time teleportation roulette. They are: King Arthur (Greatsword), Catherine(Firearm), Jeanne (Lance), Guan Yu (Polearm), Hippolyta (Bow), and Oda Nobunaga (Katana).

Since each hero has unique talents and areas of expertise, and weapons and skills are independent, players can achieve astonishing synergy by experimenting with different weapon and skill combinations. Under certain conditions, skill points can be reallocated, unlocking even more possibilities and enjoyment.

Worlds

We have introduced a new dynamic time pass system with four distinct time periods. Combined with our high-definition, beautifully crafted pixel-style 3D environments and special effects, this offers a visual experience that blends nostalgia with modern aesthetics, providing ultimate visual enjoyment as the scenery evolves.
