A good Homage to a Classic Genre

I grew up on Sierra games and so was glad to see this homage to the old Quest for Glory series come out. The sense of humor and witty writing make this rather enjoyable along with the variety of things to explore and uncover. The lore of the world is also genuinely fun and interesting to look into. There are a couple ways to solve each problem as well making for an experience about tackling problems your on way. If you like a good old fashion point and click adventure combined with some RPG elements, such as stats, equipment, and sneaking past enemies (or fighting them), then this is an excellent game to consider. There were some negative points though and these include: The game is rather grindy for increasing stats and going through the motions of the day to day. Most of the problems that come up in the game are time locked and so you may not even proceed to solve the problem until a specific day making any work/time you put in before then fruitless. The ending was a let down as I expected a Report Card or Yearbook with comments to reflect my school year made me regret all the time I put into the game getting good skills and stats for Shawn.

Great Spiritual Successor to QFG

Hero U is one of the most fun games I've had the pleasure of playing in 2018 and true successor to the QFG games. Don't let the price put you off. By the end you'll see it was a worthwhile investment which will not only provide you with dozens of hours of enjoyment, but also support a small independant team bring you the next chapter. Its not perfect some of the animation regarding character movement can either be tortiously slow (sneaking) or janky (running). The 'time management' of the game certainly adds a sense of urgency, but maybe a little too much at times. Every action moves the clock forwards so sometimes I would skip over ambiant dialogue, or clicking on objects altogether, because I didn't want to waste precious minutes. Which is a shame when some of the jokes/background info are so good. Though fair warning the coles have never met a pun they didn't like and there is an onslaught of them in places. Additionally, I thought the end game was a little weak compared to say the previous 95%. However, these are minor niggles. I enjoyed the story, it had a great cast of supporting characters, real challenge and humour throughout. I loved learning new secrets and discovering hidden areas of the school, the thrill of discovery was prevalant throughout the game. Having finished it I'm looking forward to diving back in and finding all the things I missed when I was learning the ropes. If you're an old QFG fan, enjoy RPG's or old school point and click adventures, you're in for a real thrill.

Well hidden gem

Having discovered the game by accident I was suprised to discover that it is from the authors of one of my favorite game series - Hero Quest (also known as Quest For Glory). The description was intriguing so I bought it and played it for 4 days straight until finally completed it today. The game is a mix of an adventure game (light version without pixel hunting and all item actions are contextual), simple and a time management game akin to academagia. Main character is a thief that was given a chance to become a hero by studying in Hero university. The plot revolves around character slowly becoming a hero (or if player chooses just a more competent thief) by interacting with fellow student and teachers, exploring the castle (filled with secret passed of course) the school is located in. The gameplay is about managing time for training, exploring, socializing and completing tasks. The game has simple combat system that fits perfectly the theme of a game. Most of the quests can be completed differently and can be skipped if player chooses to. The downsides that I've notices are: * Uneven pacing - some days there is not enough time to do anything and some days (closer to end of the game) you have nothing to do except to train. * Too much puns, it gets better in later stages of the game, but at the start they quickly become annoying * One dungeon is a slog - it is filled with enemies that are too long to kill and it takes forever to sneak around them * Some puzzles are time gated, but heavily hinted from the start, you never know if you're missing something or you just have to wait a day. * It is too easy to complete everything. But still, for me, this is one of the best games I've played recently, sure it has its faults, but in the end it is really fun to play.

Attending Heroschool is fun!

This is a wonderful little game, with an upbeat story about growing up and choosing how to spend your life. The characters are charming and likable and there is a varriety for optional romantic encounters. Combat is more puzzle-like, you need the correct items to beat our opponents and time their use. Most of the game revolves around planning your day. You have only a limited amount of time for classes, training your skills, exploring your surroundings and helping (or not helping) your fellow students. This can be overwhelming at first, but once you are able to plan your school-day, you will be the king of Hero-U. You should also take notes from the dialogue, because there will be tests, where this knowledge will be useful. Sometimes there won't even be straight answers, so somtimes you have to read between lines. If you hate stuff like this or reading in general, this game is not for you. Reading is half the fun of this game. The environments and music are also wonderful, although the 3D-Modells look a bit off, especially when your character starts running. Also in addation to the story: again, this is a game about growing up, so this will be a personal and not an epic journey. The game is about your relationship to the characters and how you choose to interact with them. They are the plot. If you need a tight three-act-structure, this game is not for you. There are some darker scenes, but overall I would think that the game is still also suitable for younger players, who just need some patience and curiosity for learning the games mechanics and finding all the secret locations it's hidding. And if you are curious yourself and ready to be curious, this game is also for you.

Everything I wanted

Absolutely splendid. Done just like another quest for glory game. Has all the great style and gameplay of 2 and 4 mixed together which were my absolute favorites. It's definitely it's own game in it's own right but integrating a bunch of QFG lore and doing it in the spirit of QFG was super on point. Highly recommend purchasing. lets get this game to at least break even sales wise so we can get the next game running.
