Jun 30, 201190Half-Minute Hero may be "JRPG-lite," but even if you're not a fan of the genre there's plenty of great gameplay to be had. A clever game with plenty of humor and personality, Half-Minute Hero: Super Mega Neo Climax is certainly worth your time.
-
Jul 8, 201183The game's greatest accomplishment is that these simple little tales are as effective as many full-length JRPG releases this generation.

Jul 8, 201180All told, you're getting an absurd amount of content for your 800 Points, but such is the incessant repetition at the core, you may question whether you really need it. If the answer is yes, then this is unquestionably an instant purchase, but over the long haul its infectious opening gambit doesn't quite sustain.
-
Jul 6, 201180A funny, clever and charming game. I think the character modes outside of the Hero's story fell a bit flat, but there's plenty to unlock, explore and battle. It's an easy recommendation for folks looking for a cute twist on the traditional RPG.
-
Jul 4, 201180Those who played the PSP version won't find a lot of new material here, but if you never played it before, Half-Minute Hero: Super Mega Neo Climax is a game you won't regret.
-
Jun 30, 201180During a time when Japan's hit a creative drought with RPGs, it's great to see a game that's adopting this traditional style, and using it in a more imaginative way.
-
Jun 30, 201180A loving, and genuinely funny, homage to old school role-players and the people that play them.
-
Jun 29, 201180I don't know that the core concept has the legs to support a a sequel, but in the here and now I'm awfully glad this game exists.
-
Jun 28, 201180I fell in love with this game, immediately. It's got a funny script, it's easy to learn, and I can complete a whole quest while I wait for my tea to steep.

Jul 13, 201178No matter which way you slice it, Half-Minute Hero is still loads of fun. At only 10 dollars, it's well worth your money.
-
Nov 14, 201175Half-Minute Hero is a fun and quirky gem that is worth a second look.
-
Aug 5, 201175You may tire of the basic gimmick before you're skilled enough to succeed on elaborate, brutally competitive four-player online maps, but Half-Minute Hero's charms still last a surprisingly long time.
-
Jul 21, 201175I grew fond of the concentrated characters, and after applying the alternate retro visuals had a much easier time navigating the game world, along with it being easier on the eyes.
-
Jul 6, 201175You wouldn't guess it from the title, but Half-Minute Hero is good for hours of role playing against the clock.
-
Jun 29, 201175Admittedly, Half-Minute Hero does wear out its welcome towards the last handful of stages, and the extra modes generally feel like filler at best. But, for the most part, Marvelous' RPG parody is a unique and entertaining experience that finally has a chance to capture the hearts of an entirely new audience.
-
Jul 15, 201170A good way to play this quirky RPG if you don't have a PSP.
-
Jul 15, 201170Quotation forthcoming.
-
Jul 11, 201170If you happen to also own a PSP, you would be far better served seeking out the original Half-Minute Hero instead.
-
Jul 5, 201170So while Half-Minute Hero Super Mega Neo Climax offers some new features, they don't make for a brand new experience. That said, the Hero 30 mode, which is the heart of the game, is still in place and as great as ever.

Jul 6, 201142If you don't have a PSP, it might be worth checking out if the nostalgia hits you hard enough, but unless you're a glutton for punishment, I don't know how much you can find here. Oh, and if you do have the PSP version, just walk away. Take your time, no need to hurry, just walk aw-BOOM!
