Description
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.
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.
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!
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.

It was good but there are just too many updates to the game. It was good the way it was and now it's just a bit too streamlined and 'automatic'. Also the HOMM feel disappeared in a recent update when they decided to

Only leaving this review to counteract all the negative reviews saying the "AI cheats hard and steamrolls the game." Huge skill issue on their part. I, the human, steamroll the game. So much so I try to preserve each

I came back to this game again, and every good thing has changed—from a funny game to a boring one. Sad. I was looking for a game that is wild and unconstrained, where I could enjoy the pleasure of endless greed. But

I wanted to like it, but didn't find it especially fun. It's an... interesting choice to set up a tutorial in a way that you lose if you don't do it a specific way. It kind of felt like the worst aspects of Heroes of
