Games Reviews: Half-Minute Hero
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Half-Minute Hero makes a mockery of the fantasy role-playing genre’s characteristically plodding action by challenging you to complete the game in just 30 seconds. That’s 30 seconds to level-up, buy equipment, discover the Evil Lord’s weakness and defeat said Lord; just as well then that the hero not onlymoves like lightning but can also turn back time. With speed firmly of the essence, the efficient control scheme helps enormously, while the varied stages – each designed as mock sequels, complete with intros and credits – create a unique style, perfectly complemented by a dry wit throughout.
