Songs for a Hero - Definitive Edition

Great game for everyone willing to play a cool platformer with engaging and funny songs

Had fun in the start of the game, as the game progresses, the singing becomes very monotonous and boring. The stages doesn't feel that fun, every stage looks the same but with a different color, feels repetitive.

Songs for a Hero is a generic platformer that is a waste of time and misuses its one gimmick.

The gameplay is very simplistic to start: Jump, swing sword, and use shield to block. There are 9 worlds consisting of typically 3 levels plus a boss. You gain some new powerup for worlds 1-7 such as charging up to shoot a fireball from your sword, invisibility, swimming, dash, etc. You have lives in this, but enemies, environments and bosses are so non-challenging that you'll rarely die unless you're searching for secrets and get insta-killed in some manner. I had 40+ by the end.

The main gimmick of the hero singing to what you're doing is exaggerated, overdone and not utilized properly. By the time you finish the first world, the singing will mostly be background noise that you'll barely pay attention to while you're platforming or fighting. Most of the time the music is about 1 of 3 things: Something about the current environment of the world you're in, seeing a new enemy for the first time, or something about finding the princess. Typically, the only times the music will be about something you're doing is if some enemy hits you or you land on spikes/environmental object, The music should have been done in a humorous way but most of the time is not. The lyrics are pretty bad and I don't think I laughed a single time while listening. It would've also helped to find a better singer.

There's not too much to complain about other than how generic this all is. You've done all these things in much better games that were far more challenging and rewarding. Of annoyance, there were two spots during the game where there were secrets I could go get but a cutscene triggered and then during the cutscene the hero decides to jump down a pit that there is now no way to go backwards from. One is right after getting the swimming ability which means you'd be forced to replay the level if you want to go swim through the water segments prior to that to get whatever was hidden there.

To further add to the complete lack of challenge and is insulting to the player is that every single level is covered in signs pointing in the direction you're supposed to go or with a skull and crossbones over a pit indicating not to jump into it. Why? Do the makers of this think this is the first platforming game made in the history of videogames and that players will have no idea what to do if there aren't signs everywhere indicating where to go? Was this game made for mentally r3tard3d people? There will be spots with a sign with a down arrow on it right before a ledge and you can clearly see the platform below on your screen and there's no where else to go.

Songs for a Hero is a mediocre generic non-challenging platformer with a wasted and often annoying gimmick.

I'm flabbergasted, this game is WAY MUCH BETTER than i expected. The songs are too good, fun story, real fun gameplay and it's retro looks give a good nostalgia. Come on non-brazilians, give it a try, the english translation is AMAZING, i'll have to replay this in english later just to listen to it.

Unique game.

A must play unique platform adventure with specif songs for actions and designs. Fun in English and in Portuguese

Só comprei porque achei a arte e level design legais. Primeira coisa que fiz foi desativar a voz desse nerd cantando kkkkkk Legal a ideia mas achei chato pra kcilda . Se não desse pra desativar ia ser reembolso na hora kkkkkkk

Ótimo jogo brasileiro! Divertido, e o sistema de músicas é incrível

Completed with my 5 year old. Cozy little game :)

.

So much better without the nasally singing
Turn off the voice in the settings
Bosses get crazy difficult also

Que jogo EXTRAORDINÁRIO, ele é tão lindo, tão criativo, a forma que ele não enjoa nem se eu jogasse ele 3 vezes seguidas. Amei cada parte dele e as DLCs então, perfeitas. Se vc acha que ouvir alguém cantando o tempo todo pode ser enjoativo, acredite, não é.

The gameplay is safe and generic, the story (what little there is) explains nothing, and the singing sucks.

simplesmente incrivel ver o trabalho dos Castro Brothers e de sua equipe no jogo.
dá de perceber que foi feito com muito amor e dedicação.

A masterpiece really. Everyone should give it a go!

Played this a while ago and went back to play the dlc (included in this edition)

The songs can be pretty funny and its a pretty solid standard platformer with some fun abilities to use such as temporary invisible/invisibility where you can't attack at the same time.
