    3D Heroes is a refreshing trip down memory lane. Other adventure games, including the franchise this is based on, have gotten so complex from a combat and exploration perspective that it's nice to take a vacation from all the modern bells and whistles and experience something simple again. There isn't a lot in 3D Heroes that hasn't been done before, but that doesn't detract from the fun. Read more

    • Sprawling overworld hides many surprises, Thrilling boss battles, Catchy soundtrack, Tons of optional side missions, Lots of clever references and silly jokes.
    • Creation tool is limited, Dungeons are fairly easy.

    Once upon a time in gaming history, players were able to enjoy basic gameplay with a basic story, basic audio and basic visuals. Despite the fact that most studios nowadays are pushing for photo-realism and engaging narratives, some of you may feel the need to take one more trip down nostalgia avenue. That's where 3D Dot Game Heroes comes in, but don't get too excited just yet. Read more
