About Hero's Hour
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.
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.

It lags a little bit on my computer, but else it is hella fun!1 found this helpful
Do NOT buy at full price. It's a 3 of 10 game if you were to get it at full price. Recommending ONLY if it's on sale, more than 50% off. It's maybe a 6 of 10 game IF you can get it and the expansion for 5-7 bucks or less. It's a HoMaM game with it's quirk being battles are real time. It has some interesting ideas but they often aren't done to the best of their potential and that's before bug issues which, since they're now working on a sequel, may not ever be addressed. There's also a lot of RNG and questionable AI moments in it, not the worst game for those but not the best either and you'll notice it. The same with balance between units and factions, it's not the worst but not the best either. Also big warning the game locks far too much content behind achievements, many of which require some level of grind or luck. The problem is it's an okay for cheap game at best, you're just not going to want to put that much time in for. It goes way too hard using questionable skinner box/dangling carrot design mechanics when it should have just been simple accessible fun.1 found this helpful
This game is unnecessarily hard. Every match is either a complete steamroll in your favor (very unlikely) or a devastating loss since your opponents have unbeatable armies by the start of phase 2 while you're barely getting started, there is no middle ground. And no, it's not a learning curve issue, it's the AI cheating, which takes all the fun out of the game. Shame.
Days of fun if you want an RTS thats as casual or as intense as you want. Saw this game early on and it aready has workshop along with tons of vanilla updates
