    Hero’s Hour may look like a simple game, and truthfully it can be if that’s what you want, but dig a little deeper and you’ll discover some surprising details. And while it definitely deserves the comparisons it receives to Heroes of Might and Magic, Hero’s Hour unfolds into something all on its own if you let it speak for itself. Whether you want a casual or complex experience, Hero’s Hour provides both — wrapped up in a glorious pixel art turn-based strategy RPG.

    It is sad to give a rating this low to a game with this much potential. The UI in Hero's Hour is often problematic, and the graphics are just too basic to understand what is happening. Furthermore, there is a very heavy 'rush' element to the game rather than the more plodding pace of older games. If the graphics were better, some balance problems ironed out, and the UI was fixed, this would be an easy game to recommend to strategy players by a wide margin.

    It's a big stodgy dinner plate piled with dissonant RTS ideas, the baked beans of unit management mixing with the Coco Pops of auto-battling. It's such a map-clearing jambalaya that it's difficult to tell which elements are working together and which are simply crowding out the fun parts. For all the things I can say about Hero Hour's design, it's not by-the-numbers. I can't even tell you if I enjoyed it or not, it's so much like eating a fistful of rando-flavoured jelly beans. And I suppose that in itself is kind of remarkable.

    Muy flojo. Básicamente, por un lado junta la jugabilidad de mapa, desarrollo y demás prácticamente copiada de Heroes of Might and Magic (3 enMuy flojo. Básicamente, por un lado junta la jugabilidad de mapa, desarrollo y demás prácticamente copiada de Heroes of Might and Magic (3 en especial) pero en buena medida hecha peor. Las batallas, en vez de ser por turnos y con profundidad táctica, acaban siendo una mezcolanza rara en pseudo tiempo real donde todo es más confuso que interesante y donde en buena medida puedes dejar que las tropas luchen solas y ocasionalmente tirar algun hechizo. El apartado gráfico es extremadamente pobre, ni siquiera se puede considerar pixel art, y lo mismo con el apartado sonoro. Por todo ello, es un juego que no creo que valga la pena. Un 3,5.… Full Review »
