Description

If you already own Hero's Hour, you'll receive a 70% discount on its Deluxe Edition containing Rogue Realms DLC.


Hero's Hour is an accessible, yet-deep and content-rich Strategy Roleplaying Game. Take control of your hero, explore the world, build up your town, fight fast-paced battles, level up your hero and amass an army large enough to take out the opponents - before they take you out.

Turn Based + Real Time

While exploring the overworld and developing your town and army are both turn-based, giving you time to think and plan out your next moves, in battles your units will do the best to fight for themselves in real time - all hundreds of them. Cast spells and give attack orders to swing the tide of battle - or just sit back and watch as your might unfolds.

Procedural Generation

Hero's Hour brings impactful procedural generation to the strategy game formula, ensuring that every time you play, there will be new areas to explore and strange buildings to enhance your hero or army. Seek out obelisks to start you on small procedural quests that send you around the world. You won't even be able to use the same build order each time you play the same faction.

Features

  • 11 factions with special mechanics, strengths and weaknesses
  • 22 hero classes, with a special skill each
  • 50 common hero skills
  • 177 units (and 99 upgraded units)
  • 80 unique unit abilities
  • 166 artifacts
  • 83 spells (+18 spells unlocked via skills)
  • Dozens of impactful map buildings
  • Local "hotseat" multiplayer
  • Co-op with other players or even with the AI

Being on the faster side compared to other turn based strategy games, you may even be able to finish the hotseat games that you start!

Fun trying out all of the combos

I got this game from Amazon Prime and originally installed it just to see if it would work on my machine (I have a old PC)....besides, who turns down a free game? I'm so glad that I have given this a try! It plays very similar to HOMM like everyone else mentions. What I love about it is all of the different combinations to unlock and try out. There's a lot of different heros, spells, factions, treasure, buildings...so many things to see exactly how they work with all of the different combinations. It also has lots of customizations, so you can make the exact game you want to play (I've only played single player so far). And while the graphics are "retro", that definitely works in it's favor....you really do get hundreds of creatures on the screen battling it out in real-time...even on an older machines like mine. Finally, the reason I thought to write this review is because they still update this game! (at least as of 2025) As you can see, I have a lot of games...but this is one I return to quite often! So if you see this on sale (it's actually worth it's base price as well...it's that good!) and are a fan of HOMM, definitely pick it up!
