Half

Half-Minute Hero was released about two years ago and was touted one of the most exciting RPGs of all time. Indeed, gamers from all over the world scrambled to buy the game the moment it was released and it became the best selling RPG within months. No one could deny that Half-Minute Hero wasn’t worth all the hype.

 Half-Minute Hero: Super Mega Neo Climax Edition is the latest release and is the sequel to the first game. It has a brand new interface with HD graphics with awesome sound and scenes that make it another sure winner. For those who love RPGs, you can’t go far wrong from getting your hands on a copy of this game.

 The world is under threat once more and you play three characters in the game who try and save the world from extinction. An evil lord, a knight and a princess are the last hopes mankind has. On each level you move around as quickly as possible fighting random battles and if you don’t get to the highest point in a certain amount of time, the world is lost. You collect items, like health, and money on your quest. There are many hidden treasures which add to the excitement of the game. You ride beasts of fire, talk with bats, and some other cool stuff. It’s pretty much the same as the first game, except the graphics are vastly improved.

There are different modes which get revealed when you complete your missions successfully and they are not all RPGs. You’ll find some pretty surprises that will make the game more enjoyable as it deviates from the main theme. You need to concentrate and play wisely. Time is short and you can’t afford to roam aimlessly as death is always an ever present danger. The battles are hard and require clear thinking on your part. You can buy armor and weapons with the cash you collect and improve your combat skills.

Sometimes you need to avoid evil spells that get more powerful as the game progresses and even lesser evils await you at every corner. You will be motivated to replay the game over and over to improve your combat skills. The gameplay is quite addictive and you will not put the controls down for minor disturbances. The characters are fairly easy to control and the movements are smooth and responsive. You should master all the moves quickly at the beginning stages of the game.

 You can play online with real people and this is more exciting than playing the CPU.  Half-Minute Hero: Super Mega Neo Climax Edition will appeal to children and adult gamers alike. The narrative doesn’t have any language restrictions so younger children can enjoy the game as well.

 Comparing the two versions may be a bit unfair. The original always has the advantage over the first. The sequel in this instance will serve as a reminder that the first game was totally new and provided gamers with something they didn’t see before. The sequel has all of the first ones advantages, but some people may feel they are playing the old game, with a little touch up.
