WTMG’s Heidi Hawes: “Hero-U: Rogue to Redemption is a game that fans of Quest for Glory will probably love, but other gamers won’t. It plays similarly to those games in many ways and makes tons of references to them as well. The writing is humorous and full of puns, but the story takes far too long to get interesting. The combat is uninspired and tedious, as is the music. The time mechanic is a great idea and adds a level of strategy to the game, but it’s poorly explained and results in a lot of wasted time trying to figure things out. If you’re a fan of 80’s and 90’s action/adventure RPGs, especially the Quest for Glory games, then maybe give it a try if it’s on sale. For everyone else, if you’re looking for a great point-and-click adventure game, try Röki instead.”
