The Hero is a story driven third person shooter. The game is cobbled together with a bunch of Unreal asset store assets. I think it's worth mentioning that a genuine attempt to make a video game took place here. It's not a pure asset flip, it just has a lot of asset store assets in it. But the way these things are put together is a nightmare. The assets are of varying levels of quality and it looks jarring. Likewise, textures are mismatched and badly applied. The developer thought it would be okay if he did the voice acting himself. This was a disastrous idea. Gameplay is a nightmare as no polishing or balance was done. You run into uneven chunks of floor where the developer didn't bother to put the environment together properly. At least they tried, and that's 10 times better than a pure asset/template flip.

So! Here we have a game which is I don't know. Just pushed too hard in my opinion! I know that it's easy to judge a game but for this one it just felt to me that they just tried too hard to create a good game. - I mean the graphics are like Half Life Era but in HD. Which is not bad but but just feels pushed. - The controls are responsive. -The graphics are not bad in general but the continuity of a motion of char is really bad. - I tried different options on resolutions but still couldn't show the health bar, ammo etc. -And for a long time I couldn't understand if I was "The Hero", "The Villain" or "Just someone who's taking revenge!". Anyway! For me this really is a game which has to be played to make any comments! [url=https://youtu.be/NS1e_LYQBk8] First 20min Gameplay here[/url]
