Review: Songs for a Hero – A Lenda do Herói (Steam)

A classic platform with a twist: A dynamic soundtrack and funny lyrics that sing the player’s actions and responds to what is happening during the adventure.

Pros:

  • Decent graphics.
  • 2370mb download size.
  • Steam achievements.
  • Full controller support.
  • Steam trading cards.
  • Graphics-fullscreen, resolution.
  • Platformer gameplay.
  • Gimmick-the game sings a song of what you are doing/need to do in real-time.
  • Basic opening tutorial.
  • 3 save slots.
  • World map level select.
  • Can replay levels.
  • Has a Wonderboy vibe to it.
  • Many collectibles-music notes, chests, and medals.
  • Can rebind controls.
  • Checkpoints in level.
  • Find new abilities/weapons as you play.
  • Slight puzzle elements.
  • Satisfying combat and level design.
  • End of a level breakdown showing the time taken, medals found, notes, and chests.
  • Character customize-pick a skin.
  • Charming.
  • Big boss fights.

Cons:

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
