The Good
- Really captures that Quest for Glory essence by providing a flexible narrative that incorporates lots of player agency
- intuitive writing rewards observant gameplay
- subtle guidance makes players feel very in control of how and when the narrative unfolds
- interesting environments realized through painstaking attention to detail
- side quests serve to flesh out supporting characters and develop strong relationships with them.
The Bad
- Combat remains fairly superficial
- no voice work at all
- some repetition comes through by design.
Our Verdict
Very good
A game of very high quality. Although some aspects might have been executed better, we would recommend this game without hesitation.
The founding family of Quest for Glory has returned with an all-new unofficial entry that proves worthy of its predecessors’ legacy yet still manages to distinguish itself entirely on its own. Existing fans will be thrilled to see all the classic design staples make a return in Hero-U, while newcomers can enjoy a witty, substantial (if somewhat bloated) adventure-RPG experience.
