DESCRIPTION

Featuring four separate game modes and visuals designed as a loving homage to classic 8-bit titles, Half-Minute Hero finds gamers saving the world from evil in 30-second intervals. Each of the four game modes is split into 30 levels, and each offers a different style of gameplay. In the RPG-like "Hero 30," players attempt to defeat evil lords by engaging in random battles (featuring completely automated combat), leveling up, earning loot, and stopping by small towns to recover health and purchase items. "Evil Lord 30" is a simple real-time strategy mode where gamers can summon three different kinds of monsters to dispatch a variety of monsters in each location.

"Princess 30" is a side-scrolling shooter in which a young royal and her squadron of protective knights fire arrows in all directions as they attempt to capture helpful items, and "Knight 30" is made up of a series of escort missions where players try to protect a mage from relentless monster attacks. The catch in every one of the game modes is that players have only 30 seconds to complete each task before the world ends. Fortunately for gamers, the apocalypse can be averted thanks to the venal nature of the Time Goddess, who will gladly turn back the clock for a small fee. Half-Minute Hero also features a multiplayer mode, letting up to four gamers compete in local Ad-hoc competitions. ~ Christopher Brown, All Game Guide

“Addictive and very fast. Requires undivided attention and is very frantic. Graphics could stand to be a bit better however it does add to the comedy. Very fun, but it won't absorb your life, it's a pick up and play game, nothing more.”

“So I beat this game like 14 or 15 times yesterday. . . Sort of. Each scenario is, as the game is aptly named, a mere 30 seconds long. Now, to be honest, as you can reset the time in a scenario they...”

“Blazed through Evil Lord 30 mode and got the best possible ranking on each stage. I don't know if that's gonna be possible for Princess 30 (which I'm already halfway through), but I'll try.”

“Completed Hero 30 Mode. Well, I should say I made it to the last stage of Hero 30 Mode, as my completion counter still only reads 92%. I wonder which paths I forgot to take? Maybe I'll look 'em up.”
