Make as many of the properties of Character to be final as possible. init (which should be named initiative) should not be a property at all.
Delete getRandom. Pass in an instance of Random for testability, and call its nextInt. Make Character a static inner class - it won't be able to access properties of Game, and that's a good thing - it's better to pass them in explicitly when needed.
cls (clearing the screen) is an anti-feature. The user can clear the screen when they want through their own terminal controls.
Don't \' escape apostrophes when that isn't needed.
There is no need for Console in this application.
Make more use of printf instead of string concatenation.
Don't abbreviate variables like h (hero) and e (enemy) to single letters; spell them out.
Various spelling issues like croud (should be crowd); enable spellcheck.
clash calling doBattle is recursion, which is not a good idea; you almost certainly shouldn't be recursing here.
Don't nextInt for your option. Since it's only used in a simple comparison, leave it as a string; it removes the potential for an exception and simplifies validation.
Whenever possible, construct your console formatting so that it produces logically-related paragraphs. Also, prefer accepting terminal input on the same line as the prompt.
