The Turn Based Lovers have reviewed the strategy RPG Hero's Hour:

Hero's Hour Review

Remember those days, back in the 90s, playing the classic turn-based fantasy strategy RPGs? There were quite a few of those! There was the famous Heroes of Might and Magic series, of course; and I also remember spending some very quality time with Age of Wonders and its sequel. But why all these vintage fantasy references? Because it seems like Hero’s Hour has set out to take the best of those experiences, trim the fat and serve the player only the juicy meaty parts.
IT IS THE MAGIC HOUR, THE HOUR OF THE HERO

Right from the start, Benjamin Hauer designed Hero’s Hour as a spiritual successor to HoMM. The goal was to stay as true as possible to the style of those great classics. With such emphasis on the mechanics and the gameplay, the developer decided to not even bother with a story. The main game begins as soon as the tutorial ends. Hero’s Hour wastes no time to explain the how and why of its setting and the origin of the creatures. Why would it? Anyone who’s played a fantasy title in the past is likely to feel right at home with its fantastic universe.

[...]

Summary
Hero's Hour is an all-around incredible time, taking its classic 90s inspirations to our modern age by keeping all the strategic bits intact and serving a plate of immediate turn-based strategic gameplay, that is endlessly entertaining.

Good

  • Easy to pick up and play
  • Perfectly balanced gameplay loop
  • Incredible set of customization options to fit all tastes

Bad

  • Some problems with pathfinding

Score: 8.5/10
