One True Hero is a quirky fantasy action/adventure game from Rat Cliff Games released on 20th October 2022. The game is available to buy with a 20% launch discount on Steam right now. I got the chance to recently journey through the world the game has to offer. After seeing the trailer boasting quirky gameplay, comic/cartoon animations and tons of humour, I felt I had to play it.  Plucked from obscurity, the one true hero happens to be an everyday farmer! Chosen by mystical forces he is set on a quest to save the lands in which he lives. A common adventure game trope and the game developers know it. Regardless, I buy into that story time and time again. Do you enjoy action/adventures where the underdog gets chosen to go onto bigger things? Let us know in the comments your favourite game where this is a theme or even if you just enjoy games like this. The game offers up a barebones settings option and a menu screen, without much to look at. Starting up the game you are welcomed by a short animation without too much of a storyline.

At first, that is. You are interrupted by the narrator partway through following the usual tutorial commands. The meta-narrator claims we’ve heard this origin story countless times before and offers up a simple story of a farmer chosen to be the hero. This sets the theme for the rest of the game. A quirky cartoonish action adventure, full of funny narration. As you make your way through the tutorial level you get comfortable with the controls. You are also introduced to the diamonds. These you collect by exploring the world you find yourself in. It grows to be a bit of an addiction, well, for me at least. At the beginning of the game, they are just dotted around everywhere but later are used more as an affirmation that you are going the right way. These diamonds are collected to access puzzle areas, which happened to be the most challenging set of platforming around! These areas were tough with moving platforms moving in all directions requiring accurate timing and judgment. The satisfaction and relief in completing them though were great to feel.

An Epic Adventure.

The reward wasn’t a new weapon, however, but another goal to hit, which I felt slightly disappointed about. The combat is very cartoonish and very satisfying. With “woosh” trails and flashes you make short work of any enemies. The game offers up a rudimentary skills tree to add attacks and skills to your arsenal. Skills points are acquired through combat and exploration. Exploration is so much fun due to the ability to sprint around at speed, the ability to jump far, and wall climb. Along the way, you also find puzzles ranging from levers to move obstacles, moving boxes around, and floating platforms. All the puzzles felt challenging enough and never felt like a chore. You meet bigger enemies as you progress even more through the game offering up a bigger challenge. these larger foes range in size and all have weak points that you must strategically attack. For example, a small bear kind of creature has a weak point on its back. A well-timed couple of strikes to its flank made short work of it. Another boss required you to climb onto it to attack the evil weeds, that presumably made it evil. Darksiders III

All of this made for great gameplay. The graphics were very simple, but in line with its cartoonish theme. The detail was instead put into making sprawling landscapes full of houses, mountains, obstacles, and challenges. There was enough variety of houses to make the village you start off in varied and interesting. You do speed past these buildings, sometimes over them, exploring the open world looking for diamonds. Some of the main buildings you visit are designed reminiscent of the style of Mario 64 with intricate stained glass which was great to see. The animation of the cut scenes was well done. These came across as a cartoon in their own right full of quirky animation styles and expressions. I didn’t skip a single one of these as they were so full of humour, great voice acting, action, and entertainment. The audio that accompanies you on your adventure is equally as good and changes from area to area. I noted the change in tunes ranging from a sombre piano melody to a more upbeat Christmas-style tune, which for some reason reminded me of the music from Home Alone as I explored an orphanage.

Nerve-Racking Sword Fights.

All the music was fitting with the game and never distracted you. The game offers up many an hour’s worth of gameplay. Initially, you are led to believe it’s a simple and short adventure, but as you encounter characters who give you quests and your traversal across the world you are in, you find it may take some time. This time however is entertaining as you come across puzzles, obstacle climbing, enemies to defeat, and areas to explore which are equally challenging and fun to complete. There were two memorable moments for me. The first time in the Hollow Realm gives you some excellent visuals and introduces an optional hard section of platforming. The secondary was an excellent battle in the burning orphanage which had a burning away platform. The battle was a longer sequence, the battle which was tense and exciting and I was on the edge of my seat for the duration. The platforming sections in the mandatory parts of the game are challenging without being overbearing and the optional sections (i.e. The Hollow Realm) are very challenging for those that need an extra level of difficulty.Out of Ore

The platforming in One True Hero comes in ledge hanging sections, in which the developer varied the difficulty based on how easy it was to see the ledges and 3D elements. For example, things such as turning corners of traversing across gaps and traditional platform jumping sections, mainly in the form of the town experiencing an earthquake in the early sections and avoiding traps such as fire, steam, and saws.  The puzzles are well thought out and varied, making them fresh and not repetitive. The library puzzle, for example, takes the ‘in a specific order’ puzzle trope and adds a platforming element to it. However, the basement puzzle has a logic to match the statues motifs using the paintings provided in the previous room. They had me thinking and it gave a real satisfaction when the puzzles were solved.  The game has a very ‘British’ dry sense of humour which I was not expecting and at times the cut scenes had me laughing hard, which is rare for me in video games. Particularly the town hero and the girl at the orphanage made me laugh out loud and I appreciated this.

Loads of Platforming.

Needless to say, this added to the fun factor of One True Hero.  The music in One True Hero is great and I have found myself humming some of the music after I have finished playing for the day. Whether it is the music traversing the world as normal which is regal and adventurous, the battle theme which instils a sense of confrontation and danger which all good battle themes should or the various boss themes which are bespoke and fit perfectly with the fighting style and surroundings. Unfortunately, the combat controls are just too stiff and unresponsive for the extended combat sequences the game expects. I tried using a variety of approaches and moves, trying to target dangerous foes first, tactically using the healing move, juggling, etc. The input buffering means it feels like even when I am attempting to execute a move consistently it sometimes just doesn’t trigger, or totally whiffs even when I am locked on. The lack of move cancelling means that any mistake (or just a buffered input) means that I can be locked into moves for seconds at a time, and ultimately that, combined with the enemies fast-startup, high-tracking, and repeated attacks can create multiple seconds of high damage stunlock (and death).

Some later combat sequences feature like 5 combat waves coming in one after another.  Once we got to “4 homing shot mages plus armored rolling guy”, it just is too frustrating for me and I had to admit I was getting miserable and angry and it didn’t feel like “getting better” was something the game was going to let me do in an engaging or consistent manner. The puzzle platforming, cut-scenes, music, voice acting, and particularly challenge levels in the Hollow Realm? All very neat stuff! It kept me playing through the game even as I was finding the combat increasingly unbearable. The combat is just not in a fit state for release. If I hear about patches and improvements in that regard I might pick this one up again (and change my review accordingly). An evil tyrant… A magic sword… A young farmer turned Hero. It’s a tale we’ve heard thousands of times before, and in the kingdom of Genericia things like that happen every other week! This makes it hard for our Hero to be taken seriously when he tries to save a town that’s mysteriously sinking into the ground, even if he is the only one capable of saving it!

A pretty sweet game so far. I recommend playing this with keyboard and mouse, because the gamepad controls are a bit clunky, sometimes unresponsive and I have to let go of my left stick to move the camera with my right stick properly. Nonetheless, I’m having fun. There are some things to polish, but to my surprise it’s actually entertaining! The dubbing is top notch and the humor made me chuckle a few times already. Go buy the game and have fun with this gem! This game is very reminiscent in a good way of some of the classic 3D platformers from the 90s and 00s (your Crash Bandicoots and Spyros), mixed with some modern elements, hack and slash combos, sarcastic/self-aware humor and skill challenges. It’s a fun experience and you can see the creator cared a lot for the genre. Play it and see for yourself! One True Hero is an absolute charming game. I am a big supporter of single dev projects and impressed by the end-result given it is the developer’s first project.  OnlyFap Simulator 4
