    Even when it's not sounding like an improv group at a Bernie Sanders rally, Heroland is a gem. It's incredibly funny, the characters are some of the most charming I met all year, and its unique take on turn-based battles made a strategist out of me. I just wish I didn't need to do so much grinding to see the game through to the end.

    Heroland enters the fold as the ultimate “sit back and relax” JRPG. Even though the game has hands-off combat and long-winded dialogue sections where your participation is questionable, you have charm oozing from every pixel. The self-aware humor and quirky characters make up for most of the shortcomings.

    With a very funny premise and full of references to popular culture, Heroland is the perfect title for those looking for something different. Thus, although its original battle system can be improved, the talent behind Heroland makes it a game that deserves your time.

It has a great aesthetic and i love the 3D pixelated character design but that isn't enough to make me happy with my purchase. The story is very simple, the characters are charming (to a degree) but quickly get annoying and the battle system is a waste. The characters automatically battle while only giving you a limited amount of control during the battles to make a slight change or heal a character. The dialogue can get repetitive and some of the jokes between the characters can be funny at times, but are a bit cringe-worthy. I like the premise of the dungeons but i hate the way you traverse them. it is a grid based system and its VERY basic. This game is average at best. I would only recommend it if you dont have anything else to play. Otherwise, just pass on this one.… Full Review »
