Songs for a Hero is a game that tries something new. In the gaming industry, we have seen many games that are similar to one another, but that's not the case here.
When I say "something different," I'm not referring to the gameplay. Songs for a Hero is a traditional 2D platformer with jumps and sword fights against enemies. However, the gameplay feels like an old game and lacks responsiveness. Controlling the character feels heavy, which is not ideal for a game like this.
So what sets this game apart from everything else? The music! Now, if you don't know anything about this game, you might assume that I'm talking about the soundtrack. However, that's not the case.
Songs for a Hero has a narrator similar to Stanley Parable, for example. The difference is that the narrator sings a song all the time, narrating what you're doing during the game. It's incredibly fun and humorous! The narrator constantly makes jokes about gaming conventions, such as rescuing princesses and floating platforms.
The game is available in English and Brazilian Portuguese. If you are fluent in either of these languages, you'll have a great time, and I guarantee you'll be laughing within the first few minutes.
The only downside is that the narrator gives the impression that everyone will have the same experience playing the game. The developers tried to make it feel like the narrator is singing about your own journey, but ultimately, it's all scripted.
The visuals are not particularly impressive. The game lacks a distinct visual identity. If they had put more effort into this aspect, the overall experience would have been better.
In the end, Songs for a Hero is a remarkable project that originated from videos created by a small Brazilian YouTuber. I believe you should give it a try for a few minutes, and if you have fun, continue until the end. It's definitely worth a try.
