Vibrating Heroes of Might and Magic!!!!!

You thought you knew what you wanted. You thought the world was a simple place with simple answers. Heroes of Might and Magic over here, Vibrating Football over there, and never the twain shall meet. And then came Hero's Hour. The perfect game? Yes, it is the perfect game. I read about it on some indie-game site and thought I'd check it out on itch. Big mistake. Poof! Two weeks vanished before my eyes. I could have been making money. I could have been travelling. But instead, I elected to crush my enemies deploying all the strategic mastery of a drunk little league coach at the end of a long divorce. You don't just stack your armies in neat unit piles stuck in their tidy hexagons like you did in HoMM. No, no, you drag as many monsters as you are allowed onto a the field of battle, hit GO and let them EXPLODE like a piñata of death! A piñata of DRAGONS!!! I bought this game on GOG because I love GOG and I don't think they charged me enough for Hero's Hour the first time I bought it. Now I'm writing a review. That is my entire life's story. tldr; An incredible update of the classic Vibrating Football game! (and HoMM)

Basically HoMM with less appealing looks

As others stated, this game is a lot like HoMM. That's not a bad thing, I love HoMM particularly the older entries, but it's so similar you can't help but compare this game to those classics. The two main differences are in combat and graphics. Hero's Hour has real time combat in which you can drag your units around but they mostly do their own thing. It means there's more happening on the screen which is kind of cool, but it also feels like you have far less control over what's happening. The most immediately obvious difference is in visuals though. Old HoMM games have nice pixel art that still looks good, Hero's hour uses the faux retro 16 bit style that honestly has been done to absolute death and beyond at this point. Some may love this visual style, but to me it makes all games using it basically look the same with no visual identity of their own. So yeah. Give it a try, it's not a bad game by any means, but the game is so similar to classic HoMM and inferior where it differs that personally I'd rather just play more HoMM3.

Great Fun but one horrible bug

I really love this game because you can set up to play a short or long game and the pacing itself doesnt drag as much as a HOMM game. Its very fast paced while keeping plenty of strategy even if it has a simple look. I do have one major problem with this game though, when you start a game it does random map generation... sometimes it will generate a map where you will never be able to reach a specific area or enemy due to a glitch in pathing and placement. It doesnt happen very often but its super annoying when it does happen (just ended up playing one match for an hour before realizing i would never be able to finish) Fix that glitch and it would be a solid 5 out of 5

Deeply flawed, but with potential.

Hero's Hour is a game that very obviously pays tribute to the classic HoMM games (most specifically, HoMM 3), and in many ways tries to have similar gameplay to it - sadly, the underlying mechanics of the game are very much at odds with this. Let's dive straight into the thick of it: difficulty, balance and meta-strategy. The game's balance is absolutely horrid: each 'town' offers a couple "builds" you can focus on, depending on your heroes' skills & army comp and to a lesser extent your build priorities, gear, spells, etc. Some of these options are insanely strong and synergetic, and others are absolutely abysmal even when there seems to be somewhat clear and strong synergies to build off of - Necromancy for example, is by far the worst "build" you can focus on with the Undead faction! On the other hand, building around the 'Bodyguards' skill/mechanic is easily accessible to any town and ridiculously strong, letting you kamikaze heroes into mobs or enemy heroes ad infinitum as they get a free army every time you recover or rehire them - without ever having to hire any troops or spend any resources! This is the case for almost any town I've played so far, which all have two 'classes' of heroes with a unique skill. So skill balance is completely out of whack, what about units? Yeah, it's not much better. While having an amount of variability in unit 'quality' between different factions and different tiers is required for building an interesting roster of units, here the variability is far too high and, due to there being no limit to the different types of units a hero can carry into battle, and no penalty of any sort for mixing and matching, this makes unit balance an utter joke. To top it all off, rushing is the ONLY viable strategy: you cannot enjoy the overworld game if you want to win maps. Forget magic and exploration, just grab what you can, stack ranged troops on a summon build, and rush the next castle - you'll always win once you know how to do it right.

Nice presentation, but flawed execution

I really tried to understand this game. I spent tens of hours with different factions and found it to be a shallow 'tactical' experience. For starters, the game looks great. The pixel graphics and color palette are beautiful and I'm amazed at the attention to detail with the dozens of different units. The interface is clean and easy to read and I didn't see any bugs. There are several factions and city types with mostly similar units, but with some varying abilities (all factions have a basic ranged, melee, mounted and 'large' type of unit). Now the problems. When you enter combat you CAN pick the type of units to deploy, but after some time you'll just get annoyed that there are so many units and start with whatever the game picks. Once battle begins you have no control. Units will move towards the enemy and target whatever. You can select a few and direct them in a direction, but they still just do whatever. You can cast spells, but once your mana runs out you just sit and watch as pixels smash into each other. On the higher difficulties you have to get lucky and hope your opponents keep each other busy while you build up or they swoop in and crush you. This is because unit production is restricted to a weekly total. Once you reach the limit, you can't hire more. If your army isn't strong enough to fight the npcs, you have to sit and wait for the next week. Cities are built up in mostly the same way and you always build everything. Units are always on the same tier and you can only build one building a day regardless of your income. The maps are random so you MIGHT get a node that lets you hire more units, but usually not. Finally, the army size is limitless. You can only start with x amount of units, but the reserves are endless. It comes down to who has the bigger army. If not you, you lose. tldr; There are no tactics and your production is very limited. Enemies crush you easily on higher difficulties and lower difficitulties are too easy. It's mindless.
