About Hero's Hour

✦ AI summary

Take control of a powerful hero, build your town, and command hundreds of units in real-time battles to dominate your opponents in this strategic RPG. With 11 factions, procedurally generated worlds, and hundreds of spells, units, and artifacts, every playthrough offers fresh tactical challenges and new ways to build your army.

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.

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.

Procedural Generation


Hero's Hour brings impactful procedural generation to the strategy game formula, ensuring that every time you play, there will be new areas to explore and strange buildings to enhance your hero or army. Seek out obelisks to start you on small procedural quests that send you around the world. You won't even be able to use the same build order each time you play the same faction.

Features


  • 11 factions with special mechanics, strengths and weaknesses
  • 22 hero classes, with a special skill each
  • 50 common hero skills
  • 177 units (and 99 upgraded units)
  • 80 unique unit abilities
  • 166 artifacts
  • 83 spells (+18 spells unlocked via skills)
  • Dozens of impactful map buildings
  • Local "hotseat" multiplayer
  • Co-op with other players or even with the AI

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!

Not recommended Sep 1, 2026
Game is fundamentally broken. There is a 'building planner', and you can select the buildings in your main town screen to build them. Sometimes you can build a building in the planner, but not by selecting the building, and sometimes it's the other way around. I tried playing two games, one game the monsters and such were around a power I could fight, the second game everything was 'impossible', so I just couldn't actually fight anything or gather anything. Apparently they are working on Heros Hour 2... Considering they can't even get this one working, I highly doubt I will even look at that one.

Balance is all kinds of wonky. Most fights are always "Hard" or "impossible" -- then as you are making progress and actually branching out and building up your town, the enemy will swoop in with death squads of 200+ units and be level 19 while you are like level 10 as obviously they had no problems just dominating their map to get to you. I've come back to the game time and time again and there's some fun here but the balance is awful.

i got this game when it was free on opera gx a few years ago, and, despite frequent bugs and crashes, i loved it. they seem to have fixed SOME of these, but whenever i try to make custom content i do still crash instantly. i will admit, the gameplay loop does have some amount of interesting decision-making, and it is rather fun. most of the reason i'm reviewing this well is just nostalgia, though. i can't bring myself to hate this game.

Fun game, funny army/spellbook compositions. I don't understand all of the map layouts when choosing what to play however. User error on my end.
