What is Hero?

This single-player, third-person fantasy action adventure sends you on quests through three kingdoms to unite them against a dark enemy. You explore large areas along a linear path, fight orcs and dragons with hack-and-slash attacks, and make dialogue choices that affect later events.

For you if...

  • +you like exploring large areas between story quests
  • +you prefer simple combat in a fantasy adventure

Not for you if...

  • −you want unrestricted exploration instead of a linear path
  • −you prefer adventures without frequent fights against fantasy creatures
