Let's talk about the most important class in RPG parties for a second. No, not that guy in front with the big sword. Nah, not that cackling fool of a mad wizard either. And the thief, that old kleptomaniac, he's completely useless most of the time. Oh no, I am talking about the healer. Cleric, white mage, whatever - that guy is the best. It was high time that this underrated support hero gets his time in the limelight, and here we are: PonPon Games' A Healer Only Lives Twice let's you feel the thrill of non-stop healing. Escort a hapless knight through a seemingly endless dungeon and watch him cut down monster hordes while you try to keep him all in one piece.

You have no direct control over the knight, but you're pretty busy keeping him alive, anyway: casting a multitude of healing and buffing spells, crafting potions, and telling him what to do. Every enemy wave harbors a red magical orb which, if activated, wipes out the whole wave and lets you be on your way. But if you don't loot a torch first, it's lights out and game over sooner than later. Thankfully, each run earns you points that can be invested in a set of persistent skills, so each attempt gets you a little closer to victory.
A Healer Only Lives Twice is not a game you'll play for hours on end. This is a lunch break kind of game - provided you have moderately sized lunchbreaks. But you'll probably come back to it again and again because damn, being a healer is pretty awesome!
