    Half-Minute Hero



    Half-Minute Hero PSP

    For centuries, an epic battle between humans and evil lords has been raging and destroying everything in its path. The civilized world is under attack by the relentless evil lord and all that remains are ruins of castles and the bodies of faithful knights who once proudly protected them. Throughout time, heroes and legends have risen above the chaos, only to eventually disappear into the ashes. As the last wandering sage and final hope for humanity, it is up to the protagonist to somehow transcend time and death to unite these legends and their unique powers in one last battle against the Ultimate Evil Lord.

    An unorthodox approach to traditional RPGs, Half-Minute Hero combines adventure, an epic storyline, legendary characters and a punishing countdown clock to destruction, to create an adrenaline pumping experience that will blow past conventional fantasy games. Choose between four modes of accelerated gameplay, each complete with original quests, enemies and attacks. Hero Mode consists of random battles with classic RPG leveling-up elements, Evil Lord Mode involves a high degree of strategy to summon the appropriate monsters against the varying oncoming enemies, Princess Mode involves fast-paced shooting action as you guide the princess safely to and from her castle, and Knight Mode challenges the player to protect the sage in any way possible, including carrying the sage away from danger, clinging to monsters to halt their movement, or even throwing yourself at enemies to cause physical damage.
    Each of the gameplay modes contains 30 stages in which players have 30 seconds, or a half-minute, to complete their tasks. Retaining the charm inherent in classic RPGs, Half-Minute Hero is a breakneck foray into an ancient land of monsters and magic, 30 seconds at a time. XSEED Games partnered with Marvelous Entertainment USA to secure the North American rights to publish and distribute Half-Minute Hero. This title is being developed by Opus Studio and is scheduled to be released Fall 2009 exclusively for the PSP.
    I've been playing the demo and this game is addictive hyperactive fun.

      Read about this almost 2 months back now. Looks interesting, but not sure if this is going to be a UMD PSP game or if you're gonna get a voucher for a download like Patapon 2.

        New demo coming out today.

        This demo will feature Evil Lord Mode, a real-time strategy game where players will take control of the powerful, and obnoxiously gorgeous, Evil Lord. In this mode players must summon monsters to fight enemies. Summon monsters are divided into three types: Brutes, Nimbles and Shooters, and enemies are also divided up into the same categories. Each type of monster or enemy has advantages/disadvantages towards another type of monster or enemy. Figuring out the best strategy to use against each type is crucial as when the time limit reaches zero, your reign of evil is over.

        This second demo will be available for download through PlayStation?Network on Thursday, September 24th.

          Downloaded both demos last night (I was REALLY busy on the Playstation Store yesterday...these two demos, the Uncharted 2 demo, the three Shatter videos, and the price-dropped Prinny and Holy Invasion of Privacy PSP games).

          Here's a new preview from Gamespot. The game comes out, apparently with a retail version, on October 13th. I say "apparently with a retail version," as the 13th is a Tuesday, and the Playstation Store does not get updated until Thursdays, which in this case would be the 15th.
