Evaluation
Hero launched on February 2, 2017 after four years of development by a two-person indie studio. Following launch, the developer issued a day-one patch on February 3, 2017 adding a block mechanic and fixing a critical final boss bug, then a second patch on February 5, 2017 rebalancing combat and addressing audio issues. The final recorded developer communication was on April 10, 2017, when the developer announced a price drop and mentioned an upcoming bug-fix patch for enemy AI issues. That patch was never publicly announced as shipped, and there have been no further communications from the developer since April 10, 2017. The only DLC — a game soundtrack — released on January 28, 2017, before the game even launched. No future content was ever announced, no roadmap was published, and the store description makes no mention of post-launch additions. The game shipped as a self-contained narrative experience with a clear beginning, middle, and end. Given the complete silence since April 2017, the absence of any announced future content, and the nature of the game as a finished single-player adventure, the game is complete.

About this game
Welcome to Hero! A simple 3rd person fantasy action adventure game created by Bakershah Games, a 2 man game studio based in San Francisco, CA. Hero is a game where you the player go on quests in a world with 3 kingdoms. You must unite all 3 kingdoms to defeat a dark enemy that has been unleashed upon your world. The game is meant to be an homage to all the classical Action Adventure games from the 90's. Cheesy dialogue, weird animations, but worlds as a kid you could escape too and loved. That is what Hero wishes to recreate. It is a simplistic adventure game which focuses on 3 basic pillars that people like to do in these games.
1). Exploration: Explore open environments. Think of Witcher 2. Semi open world with linear gameplay.
2). Combat: Fight orcs and dragons throughout the game. We use a simple hack and slash combat system that focuses on precision of attacks rather than button mashing.
3). Dialogue: Throughout the story you will be conversing with many NPC's and the choices you make in those conversations will affect things. Those things might happen immediately at the end of a quest you're on or will be way later in the game where the consequence of your actions will be shown.
