Serena Nelson writes: "While Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption has very little to show for itself in the past couple of years of development, what they have shown to original backers is a big improvement over what they had before. They're asking for $100k to complete the first title in the series and in just the first day have managed to get about a third funded."
The Nintendo Switch Point & Click Sale is offering discounts as high as 76% off for adventure games on the Nintendo Switch.
WTMG's Heidi Hawes: "Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption is a game that fans of Quest for Glory will probably love, but other gamers won’t. It plays similarly to those games in many ways and makes tons of references to them as well. The writing is humorous and full of puns, but the story takes far too long to get interesting. The combat is uninspired and tedious, as is the music. The time mechanic is a great idea and adds a level of strategy to the game, but it’s poorly explained and results in a lot of wasted time trying to figure things out. If you’re a fan of 80’s and 90’s action/adventure RPGs, especially the Quest for Glory games, then maybe give it a try if it’s on sale. For everyone else, if you’re looking for a great point-and-click adventure game, try Röki instead."
Playing Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption is like curling up in front of a fire with a good book: you give yourself to the story. Bugs and obtuse puzzles aren't enough to detract from what's a unique and thoroughly entertaining experience.
