Yet Another Hero Story

nett

Pros - Nice art-style - Weird fantasy world full of wacky characters - Humorous dialog - Decent puzzle design for the most part. There is a particular maze puzzle which I never understood but its possible to brute force it. - Nice fast travel system - Quick loading and saving (multiple save slots with timestamps) - Some nice animated sequences. - Controls as you would expect with mouse. Simple left click to interact and right click for some context. No messing around with verb tables etc. Drag and drop from Inventory as expected. Cons - No hot-spot reveal tool (as far as I'm aware) I was stuck a few times simply due to pixel hunting. - Music gets repetitive. Overall its a solid point and click with plenty of nostalgia. Recommended.

I'm tired and am not sure how coherent I am going to be, but I felt I had to write a review for this. I don't know if I can finish the game. I got to the first town and managed to get through some puzzles. I picked up several items and should probably have what I need for at least one more puzzle. But that's the thing, I don't understand much of what's happening. What items can be picked up? Where and how do I use the items? Where and what are the puzzles? Maybe it's because I'm autistic, but I'm not comprehending what the game expects me to do. I love point-and-click and puzzle games! Am I great at them? That's debatable, but I still enjoy those kinds of games. Nancy Drew games are an example of fun yet difficult point-and-click puzzle games. There are hints on the easier mode if you need them. There are indicators for if and how you can interact with items. The dialogue is fully voiced. The captions are readable. There's an options menu. The puzzles can be hard to figure out at times, but (usually) nothing feels unfair or too vague. I really need to read the reviews more thoroughly before I wishlist things. (I received this as a gift from a friend.) The positive reviews are pretty lukewarm. I wish there was a neutral option so I could better understand how people felt about a game before playing it. My tone was a bit hostile throughout this review, I think. I do not feel hostility towards this game or its developers. It's not awful. There was time, effort, and passion put into this. Honestly, it's just not my cup of tea, so to speak.

Accurately reproduces the illogical puzzles, repetitive music, and lo-fi sounds of the classics like Legend of Kyrandia. However, it fails to capture the classic art feel and suffers from forced dialogue. Advised to mute the game and enjoy your own soundtrack.

Boring. Very limited. Not worth the few dollars I paid for it.

I reviewed several walkthroughs and the issue I had was handled differently in each one. Problem was that NONE of them worked for me and I exhausted every avenue.

Très bon petit point n click à l'ancienne sans prétention. Les énigmes sont assez réussis. Un peu de pixel hunting de temps en temps (il n'y a pas de hotspots) mais rien de bien gênant. Je recommande!

it's a nice little adventure game that lacks only one thing: voice overs and SFX and music. besides it is cool. Be careful with the walkthrough as the sword passage has been modified.

Cute and funny, but rough around the edges. It feels like someone's first attempt at making a game. I agree with the reviewers who have pointed out that some of the hot spots are hard to find and that impeded my progress multiple times. There is definite moon logic in this game, but I've seen worse. The screens also felt kind of bare minimum when It comes to interacting with the game. All In all, I found it charming, but frustrating at times.

Es una aventura gráfica con buen sentido del humor. Pero tiene los peores problemas de las aventuras gráficas: item escondidos que hay que mirar cada pixel de la pantalla, y puzzles con lógica extraña. Las animaciones son pobres, pero es perdonable al ser un estudio muy pequeño y el juego costar poco.
