Gameplay
Spirited Heart Deluxe is a turn-based game in which players take on the role of a young adventurer. Players can choose from one of three races: human, elf, or demoness. Each race has its own unique strengths and weaknesses, so players must choose carefully.
Once players have created their character, they can begin their adventure by choosing a job. There are 20 different jobs to choose from, each with its own unique requirements and benefits. Players must carefully consider their character’s skills and interests when choosing a job.
Once players have chosen a job, they can begin exploring the world of Spirited Heart Deluxe. Players can visit towns, dungeons, and other locations. They can also interact with other characters, make friends, and even fall in love.
As players progress through the game, they will level up and gain new skills. They can also unlock new jobs and items. Spirited Heart Deluxe is a non-linear game, so players can choose to play at their own pace and explore the world in any order they like.
Characters
There are a wide variety of characters to meet in Spirited Heart Deluxe. Players can make friends, lovers, and even enemies. Each character has their own unique personality and backstory. Players can learn more about the characters by talking to them and completing quests for them.
There are six potential partners for the player character in Spirited Heart Deluxe: two for each of the three races. Each partner has their own unique personality and will react differently depending on which race the player is playing. This leads to over 100 different dialogue combinations!
Marriage
One of the goals of Spirited Heart Deluxe is to get married. Players can marry any of the six potential partners in the game. However, getting married is not easy. Players must first build up their relationship with their partner by going on dates and giving them gifts. Once the player’s relationship with their partner is high enough, they can propose.
If the player’s partner accepts their proposal, they will be married in a beautiful ceremony. After the wedding, the player and their partner will live happily ever after.
Endings
There are 20 normal endings and 12 special marriage endings in Spirited Heart Deluxe. The ending that the player gets depends on their choices throughout the game. Players can get different endings by marrying different partners, choosing different jobs, and making different choices in the game’s many events.
