Half-Minute Hero is a bold new concept of having the player save the world, 30 seconds at a time. The player must fight, shoot, summon and protect in four distinct modes, each containing a different perspective and unique gameplay style, across a total of 120 varied stages. The 8-bit graphics and story elements provide a unique style and humour, whilst the hard-rocking soundtrack keeps pace with the breakneck speed of gameplay.

Half-Minute Hero is an explosive new take on the RPG / adventure genre, offering all the required elements of a classic RPG but played to a frantic 30-second time limit. Its fast, funny and, above all, completely bonkers!

Intense multiplayer action – connect two to four friends through ad-hoc wireless connection for blazing fast competition

Old school graphics, new age metal sound – classic 8-bit graphics give this game its unique visual style, while original music by one of Japan’s most critically-acclaimed guitarists keeps a pace as fast and furious as the gameplay
