About Hero

Welcome to Hero! A simple 3rd person fantasy action adventure game created by Bakershah Games, a 2 man game studio based in San Francisco, CA. Hero is a game where you the player go on quests in a world with 3 kingdoms. You must unite all 3 kingdoms to defeat a dark enemy that has been unleashed upon your world. The game is meant to be an homage to all the classical Action Adventure games from the 90's. Cheesy dialogue, weird animations, but worlds as a kid you could escape too and loved. That is what Hero wishes to recreate. It is a simplistic adventure game which focuses on 3 basic pillars that people like to do in these games.

1). Exploration: Explore open environments. Think of Witcher 2. Semi open world with linear gameplay.

2). Combat: Fight orcs and dragons throughout the game. We use a simple hack and slash combat system that focuses on precision of attacks rather than button mashing.

3). Dialogue: Throughout the story you will be conversing with many NPC's and the choices you make in those conversations will affect things. Those things might happen immediately at the end of a quest you're on or will be way later in the game where the consequence of your actions will be shown.

Simple, third-person fantasy action adventure game in which you explore the world, fight enemies, and complete quests to defeat the enemy ✅Very good value for money ✅Three different kingdoms and varied locations (8 chapters) ✅The combat system is not complicated (if this were a game with a much bigger budget, I would consider this a disadvantage, but you have to remember that this is not a big game) ✅Open world in the sense that you can explore larger areas; the game does not show us exactly where to go ✅Choice of dialogues that can influence the further development of the plot) ✅The graphics are simple, old-school 3D graphics ✅The game features simple dubbing ❌The animations and controls look bad, the characters movements arent very smooth. ❌Not much variety in weapons and equipment ❌No character development, no skills or complex equipment ✅✅Verdict:[strike] Very Bad [/strike] , [strike] Bad [/strike] , [strike] Average [/strike], [strike] Decent [/strike], [b] Good [/b] , [strike] Very Good [/strike] (Rating scale for tested games) If you have any questions about my reviews, feel free to ask. I'm happy to answer them. All reviews are my own!! Best regards, King Viking Bez…

Beat it in two sittings after the missus left for her mom’s. Now I’m fist-bumping the final boss while vacuuming chips off my chest. Would rate 11/10 but Steam only lets me click once. Buy it before your better half discovers your war cry at 3 a.m.

Hero is a small-scale indie action-adventure that deliberately looks backward rather than forward, aiming to recreate the feeling of classic third-person fantasy games from the late 1990s and early 2000s. Developed by Bakershah and published by Volens Nolens Games, the title is driven by nostalgia, simplicity, and earnest ambition rather than modern production values or genre innovation. From the very beginning, it makes clear that it wants to evoke a sense of old-school adventure, where exploration, straightforward combat, and a traditional heroic journey take precedence over mechanical complexity or cinematic spectacle. The narrative places the player in a medieval fantasy world divided among three warring kingdoms, all facing a growing dark threat that looms beyond their internal conflicts. You step into the role of a lone hero tasked with navigating political tensions, helping villagers, and gradually uniting the fractured land. The story unfolds through quests and dialogue with non-player characters rather than elaborate cutscenes, and it leans into familiar fantasy tropes with sincerity. While the plot does not aim to subvert expectations or deliver dramatic twists, it succe…
