Reviews for "Hero's Arms"

Great Game

Having to go to another site to fully enjoy a game isn't new, so I won't remove points for that. The game has great graphics, even if some more story and stuff would be cool.

WOW :)!!!!!!!!

THis game is great... also it was really interesting and unique, sorta like zelda but more colorful, and more appealing. The bestiary was a good addition too! great job!

Amazing

its really good.

Thank God

I'd just like to begin this review by saying thank you. Yes... thank you for this game.

As a small child in the Woodlands of Kasterlock, I was raised on the likes of Link, Mario, Kirby, and all the other 8-bit heroes (much like everyone else here), so I'll always have a soft spot for some retro-style gaming. And I dunno who you guys are, but you hit the nail on the head with this'n.

Maybe it was somewhere in the slapstick introduction. Perhaps it was somewhere between the goofy graphics and the killer 8-bit style text. Hell, it coulda been somewhere between the useless ramblings of villagers to the more, dare I say 'serious' tone of World 2. Wherever or whatever it was, this game's got me hooked. It's got the great Zelda vibe, while at the same time retaining a more 'contemporary' feel with the flash-style in-game graphics we all know and love. And yet somehow, this doesn't distract from the nostalgic retro feel I got when playing it.

The story is... erm... well, it takes a more straightforward path, be it in the humour of World 1 or the dank, gloomy atmosphere of World 2. There's no use of unnecessary rambling to be found here (well, for the most part) - just a nice, straightforward game. No tutorials. No detailed ramblings on how to play (I mean hell, it's written on the in-town signs). Just load it up and get you ass 'ta playin, and honestly would be have it any other way?

Though it can get tiring at times taking the same world map to get to side-dungeons and encounter bosses, it's actually worth it. There's enough here to keep you hooked 'til the end, thanks to the awesome progression. Half the time I zoned out and forgot why I was playing (in terms of a story), and didn't care; I just wanted to find the next palace and destroy the next boss, dammit!

Mix one part fantastically polished graphics, add a dash of classic (S)NES-style feel, top with a clever variety of enemies, items, and weaponry, and you got yourself a nice tasty dish. What's not to love? Honestly, I don't think I'd *want* to meet the man who doesn't appreciate a game such as this.

ii iits b-bu ..

o my god it buetiful
