Has-Been Heroes Now Arriving in Europe on 4th April

Based on the Destructoid review that just got released, can't say I'm all too hyped. That and the 25% price increase for Europe.

I'll just wait for Snake Pass, Lego City Undercover, Shakedown Hawaii, Wonder Boy, Mario Kart 8 and Puyo Puyo Tetris. All of those are launching in March/April and seem to be worth the money.

Isn't this being released physically, too?

Might pick it up if it's boxed as my collection's pretty thin atm.

Not-Funny Heroes

Don't buy it folks the game is trash. I played it at Pax east and its not worth buying for $20 dollars. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!

@Flanktwo Here is one review https://www.destructoid.com/review-has-been-heroes-426649.phtml

Spoiler alert 4.5/10 lol

Another reviewer gave it an 8/10...still, I'm not sure this is my kind of game.

Used a gift card on it. So hoping it's somewhat decent.

I might give it a shot the video look pretty good. I stay away from early reviews and let the dust settle. That is when I make my decision.

I have a reasonable amount of faith in Destructoid, so their 4.5/10 has put me off a fair bit. I will wait and see what others say and see if a demo comes out at any point before ordering this one.

@therealgamer did you read the review? It sounds like the journalist has never played a rouge like before. Don't think I'll be trusting that review.

@BionicDodo read the review

@Flanktwo No profanity.

@faint I did read the review. Aside from any struggles he had with the format it sounded like he found the game boring and repetitive with a lack of variety in the opposing forces. Doesn't sound like an instant buy for £20 to me.

That said, Gamespace gave it 8/10 and iDigitalTimes gave it 4/5, so, like my original comment said, I'll wait to take in a larger pool of opinions and try and find a way to try it first.

Ignoring early negative reviews, I don't really know what the big deal about this game is. Nintendo has been kinda pushing it, even having a large section about it a couple months ago at their presentation. I saw that trailer when it came out and wasn't really impressed, it looked really shallow and more of a mobile title than a full fledged game.

@RazorThin I think Frozenbyte still generate some hype based on Trine and Trine 2. From what I've seen though they haven't made anything particularly good since Trine 2 and that came out in 2011.

The game has also received a bit of hype because there aren't many brand new games on the early Switch release schedule.

Seems like Europe will never get their games at the same time as everyone else. There's no excuse for it anymore : technically it's as easy to put out a digital game on the same day. I guess it must be a deliberate choice...

@NewAdvent most likely the fact that they are getting physical copies

@Tibob it's do to physical copy's

@faint Didn't think of that... quite logical actually.

Can't say I'm interested in this one, the trailer doesn't excite me and the price is way above an impulse buy

So now I can get it a week earlier as well as £4 cheaper on the US eshop...

There's some bad press against this game, reviews and previews. That coupled with a high price tag and just look at its visuals. This is the same developer that created beautiful graphics on Wii U with the Trine games.

Trine 2: Director's Cut on Wii U.

Has-Been Heroes on Switch.

There's no comparison. I remember Trine 3: The Artifacts Of Power skipped Wii U. I might have suggested Nintendo try to get that on the Switch but that didn't review great either. Maybe they're just not as talented as they once were.

Trine was a much better game but honestly am happy theres a physical. May be the only reason I buy lol

Eh, I suppose it gives time for reviews to appear first, which looking at the comments here, is going to work against them.
I would have nothing against buying a more expensive good if it is good, but the way it currently looks, if I want a RPG fix on my Switch, I might as well spend a tenner more for that 'I Am' game.
Mind you, since starting Zelda, I haven't played anything else, on Switch at least. So I'll probably be able to hold out for even better RPG experiences.

@faint "it's do to physical copy's"

There's so much grammatical wrong about that sentence. Sorry but it's a bugbear of mine.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE So, we finally know now what one of, if not THE deciding factor for you, as to whether you buy a game .... GRAPHICS.

Hey, everyone is different, that is fine. For ME personally, graphics come about 4th or 5th in what I look for in a game.

What type of game it is. What I am able to do in the game. How the game makes me feel. The story telling. What new (if any), features the game introduces/improves upon. Graphical quality, relative to the style of game. Longevity, and replay value.

As I stated, we are all different, and that is what makes us ALL great. Also as stated, this is MY opinion(s), which are no LESS valid than your own, and certainly no MORE valid.

@akaDv8R I never said that. Can people please stop trolling me?

@SLIGEACH_EIRE "There's so much grammatical wrong about that sentence." might wanna check your own spelling before you go around criticising others, ey?

@SLIGEACH_EIRE It sounds more to me like the games aren't close to being the same type of game.

Even still... Finding it really hard to find any enthusiasm for this game.

@tjhiphop Care to elaborate?

@SLIGEACH_EIRE im very sorry that my quick response while at work offended you. I'll spend the rest of my day beating myself up over it.

@therealgamer wow his review sounds really jaded, I mean maybe that is how bad it is, but his writing makes him just sound angry... I will wait for some more reviews that don't seem as biased as that one.

They can push it back even further for all I care.

@faint Sorry I probably shouldn't have said anything.

I at least didnt get that Eire disliked the game for the graphics. He/she just stated that the game doesnt seem to live up to the creators former works.
The graphics or id say artdesign was just a point to show it.

And yeah i also think that trine looks much better in that department. Whilst no heroes looks a little bit like a handygame.

But well in the end one has to play it to really see wether its an improvement in the other departmens.

Destructoid destructed this game in its review.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE No.

Although I got Treasure Trove, just Zelda and Issac have been enough to take up my time. I am gping to try really hard to not buy new games when I don't need them as I still have original wii and PS3 games I have never played yet besides Wii U, PS4 and 3DS.

This drought is the best thing for me but it will be coming to an end soon.

Long story short I would have bought this game regardless of the very good chance it might be crap in the past.

Has Been taken off my wish list.

Since when was Europe a country? I thought it was a continent.

Here's another break down of the game for those looking. http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/review/44345/has-been-heroes-switch-review

Get a delay and pay more than anywhere else? Only in Europe! (not interested in this game anyway but it's concerning)

@SLIGEACH_EIRE You did not have to SAY anything.

You put up a picture from one of their TRINE games, and a picture from Has Been Heroes, and said, "NO comparison".

Whether you would admit to it or not, you were talking about GRAPHICAL quality.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE What stands out most to me is that those are two very different games with distinct art styles and gameplay.
