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!

Bugy, constant load errors.

First time playing during week 4 I keep getting errors... reload a earlier save and eventually those also give an error. Otherwise the game seems really cool.

Fast and fun, great casual TBS

As the title suggests, this is a fast and fun turn based strategy. The battles are real time. It reminds me a lot of Heroes of Might and Magic. I'm a casual turn based strategy player and I find this game hits that sweet spot. These days I need something that's pretty easy to pick up without being overly complicated or I lose interest. This game delivers.

Pretty Good

easy time waster, you will find yourself spending countless hours on the game. Super simple to learn and play. Also quite difficult if you want it to be.

This game has a ass tutorial

The tutorial is ass and honestly nothing is obvious. I keep losing to absolutely nothing on normal difficulty and all AI start off at impossible to defeat status making this game extremely confusing to play.
