    Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption is a fun game with great exploration, unique graphical design, and a great fantasy setting. Despite all this, I found myself having a hard time getting into the overarching narrative of a young thief on his road to redemption.

    Hero-U is an imperfect experience that it is difficult to recommend, even to fans of these devs’ previous work. It might be an interesting proposal to those looking for something far outside RPG norms, but there are too many other choices out there to give this one a general recommendation — if nothing else, I’d suggest tracking down the original Quest for Glory titles instead!

    Hero-U: Rogue To Redemption is a funny, intriguing story that Dungeons & Dragons fans may enjoy for the use of abilities and skills in gameplay. The narrative and skill building mechanics are engaging and rewarding, however the game could use a few tweaks to make movements mechanics less of a chore on the Nintendo Switch console. Despite the frustrating controls, Hero-U: Rogue To Redemption is a good fit for players who enjoy a retro-style RPG adventure.

    I found this to be too slow for my liking, but if you want a slow-paced game with lots of idle chit-chat and an occasional battle, then this might be right up your street. The sedate pace and minimalist mechanics will probably divide critics, but this one found it dull and unengaging.
