Turn-based strategic RPG, Hero’s Hour however, takes the gamble of adding a dose of real time as far as the fighting is concerned. “While exploring the universe and developing your city and army is turn-based, giving you time to think things through and plan your next moves, in battles your units will do their better to fight in real time – and there are hundreds of them. Cast spells and issue attack orders to turn the tide of battle – or just sit back and watch your power unfold“, sums up the game sheet.
Hero’s Hour is described as an accessible, yet deep and content-rich game. The player starts by choosing a faction and a class of heroes then goes to explore a procedurally generated world, build his city, fight and gather an army that will hold the aggressors in check. Each of the 20 hero classes has its own abilities (there are 60 in total, not counting the 80 spells). These heroes can command over 200 units, from fire-breathing lizards to mighty capable beastmasters to healing monks and who knows what else. Supporting 10 languages, including French, Hero’s Hour will be available on Monday March 1 for 14.99 euros on Steam and GOG.
