Great 8bit presentation.
Four game modes which each represent a different game genre. Branching paths in Hero 30. A gallery and collection mode to see what you’ve unlocked in Hero 30. Unique art style. Very easy controls. Pretty simple to play

Graphics
Simple Game mechanics
No replay value
Repetitive objectives
Bosses are too easy
Some minor slowdown.
You have to unlock Knight 30
Hero 300 and Hero 3. Even though the box claims 20 hours of gameplay
The modes other than Hero 30 are pretty short. Can be overly easy at times. Princess 30 is disappointing.
Abstract: It sounds like the game would be really short no? 30 seconds and it’s win or lose. But Rising Star, Marvelous and XSeed have cleverly put in multiple levels each which you have only thirty seconds to solve. You are able to do things like rewind time so...
Abstract: For Half-Minute Hero I wanted to try and write a review in 30 seconds. But I'm a pretty slow typist, so it would have ended right about.... But I couldn't possibly explain the quirky charm of this novel take on overdone JRPG formula in such a short amo...

You have to unlock Knight 30, Hero 300 and Hero 3. Even though the box claims 20 hours of gameplay, the modes other than Hero 30 are pretty short. Can be overly easy at times. Princess 30 is disappointing.
Abstract: There’s a lot to make fun of when it comes to RPGs. Many developers don’t seem to care that they’ve been recycling the same stories over and over again for years, and neither do a lot of fans. Instead, there’s this strange movement where retro styling ...
Abstract: Roleplaying games are dramatic, lengthy affairs in which most players could reasonably expect to lose up to eighty hours of their time. Half-Minute Hero exists to tell you just how much you're wasting your own precious and fragile life, as it reduces ...
Abstract: Half-Minute Hero is a strange beast of an RPG, something that's certainly unique in a tidal wave of sameness that tends to pour out of Japanese RPG's as of late. It's not without a few faults, but the core gameplay of the Hero 30 mode included here, wh...
Abstract: While traditional role-playing games have their perks, they're often loaded with hours of tedious grinding and dozens of melodramatic cutscenes that take as long to watch as they do to unlock. Half-Minute Hero eschews all that in favor of fast-paced a...
Abstract: Despite the title, Half-Minute Hero is a full-length game that is anything but short or half-baked. Take a classic, old-school RPG and trim the fat and inject some extra genres and you`ve got this lean, mean, action machine. It`s everything that you li...
Abstract: When I began reviewing Half-Minute Hero, I tried to describe it to some of the other GamePro editors and failed miserably. The description usually went something like this: "It's an RPG, but it's not long. Well, it is long, but you only have thirty sec...
