Heroland

"Heroland may be a supremely charming and genuinely funny experience yet its minimal gameplay eventually makes it a chore to play."

"We are facing an original proposal, somehow removed from the dungeon RPGs thanks to its combat management system. Their large doses of humor and the varied and fun of their characters know how to make up a story that is …"

"Heroland on the Nintendo Switch presents an RPG simulator where the player will manipulate the main elements that form a fantasy-themed roleplaying game. While the ideas are good and some aspects come out positively (such as the dialogues and the …"

"Heroland is a game that won’t be for everyone, as the gameplay loop is fairly short and the music as well as combat can quickly become repetitive, but it remains worth the price of admission."

"When all is said and done, Heroland ends up being a bit of a mixed bag. Charming graphics and a deep, uniquely enjoyable combat system are mired by obnoxious characters and a need to level grind. There is a lot …"

"Heroland is a charming game that simply lasts too long. The first impression is super positive, reminding me of Half-Minute Hero and similar delightful titles, and for the first few hours, the gameplay strikes a good balance between engaging and …"

"But even when it&s;s not sounding like an improv group at a Bernie Sanders rally, Heroland is a gem. It&s;s incredibly funny, the characters are some of the most charming I met all year, and its unique take on turn-based …"

"There aren&s;t a lot of games out there like Heroland. The writing takes center stage, but the battles are also a lot of fun to witness unfold. You&s;ll get a lot of laughs out of this game, and though it …"

"Heroland is a very enjoyable experience for PS4, Switch, and PC owners. The graphics are cute and unique, the combat is enjoyable and surprisingly engrossing, and the game&s;s overall charm is praiseworthy. Despite some canned in dialogue and my desire …"

"For what it’s trying to do, there’s nothing quite like Heroland elsewhere on the Nintendo Switch. Whether or not what Heroland tries to do is a well-realized product, however, might still be up for debate."

"If you&s;re looking for an RPG with robust customization and a deep battle system, Heroland won&s;t offer that. Without it, Heroland is still fun. If you are looking for sharp writing and charming characters, then Heroland will offer that plenty. …"

"While Heroland looks good and has a few funny moments thanks to the writing, there&s;s simply not enough here to make it worth your time. Idle games work well on mobile because you&s;re meant to do other things while they&s;re …"

"Heroland offers a hilarious take on working life, RPGs, and fan culture, wrapped in a clever combat system."

"Full of quirky and unusual characters, and built on a somewhat unusual premise of there being a hero amusement park of sorts where people go to get their dungeon crawl on, Heroland is most definitely different..."

"Heroland is an excellent “podcast game.” You can take your time with the actual important parts, paying attention to new boss battles and enjoying the story, then zone out with a show or something while you grind older levels to …"

"FuRyu continues to establish itself as a publisher with a knack for finding the most interesting and creative games."

"All in all, Heroland is a solid title which finds its niche, sticks to it, and ramps it up."

"Overall, Heroland is a fun little game. After a while it starts to become a bit grindy, though. You need engaging gameplay when things get grindy, and I feel like this game falls a bit short in that area. The …"

"Heroland relies far too much on the style over substance, and while I do really enjoy the style, especially the Paper Mario-esque pixelated characters, I&s;m let down by how unsatisfying the game is overall. It&s;s imminently cute with a solid …"

"You remember all those ideas people throw at the wall and don’t stick? Heroland manages to pick those ideas off the floor and use them as integral parts of its game design. If you’re looking for something to play over …"

"Make no mistake, this is a very funny game, and you’ll soon be agonising over which of the delightful main characters is your favourite. Unfortunately, it’s not quite enough to hold up the entire game – some folks will automatically …"

"Overall it&s;s an interesting blend of elements and Heroland works amazingly. Keyboard and mouse or a controller as it is also on the consoles, the input and the navigation of the menus is both simple and clean. Been wanting a …"

"While it lacks in variety, Heroland serves up an original idea that is almost sure to give RPG fans a laugh along with a taste of something new, yet familiar"

"Heroland is a light-hearted look at the turn-based RPG, whose charm is slightly undermined by an over-reliance on grinding and repetitive gameplay."

"RPGs are one of the many genres of gaming I love, and there are different RPG types like turn-based RPGs, action RPGs, and so on. Although, I don’t know what to classify the game I am reviewing today as. That …"

"Heroland enters the fold as the ultimate "sit back and relax" JRPG. Even though the game has hands-off combat and long-winded dialogue sections where your participation is questionable, you have charm oozing from every pixel. The self-aware humor and quirky …"

"Heroland has charming character art, hilarious dialogue, and a unique premise. Unfortunately, its style can&s;t make up for its repetitive, monotonous gameplay and unwieldy length."
