I gotta say, I don't really give Sunsoft the highest praise and I kind of feel bad. Outside of Rough World and Waku Waku 7, all their other games to me are like a 7/10 or lower. I don't hate them or anything but I guess maybe I'm strict on scores sometimes? I'm not sure. I finally got a pack of translations and Hebereke was one of them, I've always wanted to try it so I gave it a go and I'm gonna say it early, this is my favorite Sunsoft game.

This is an early take on a game style like Metroid where you recruit new characters and get items and upgrades to go through each part of the world. It's pretty fun though it can get a little tiring if you go the wrong way, I got lost at one point like an idiot. While Hebereke isn't perfect, what makes me love it is just how much fun and relaxing it can be. It helps it's one of their easier games they've made.

I really love the presentation, this was when Sunsoft was really at their A game with the hardware though it does come at a cost of the framerate being a little poor at times. All the characters are just really fun to look at, especially Hebe. Which they sadly replaced in the PAL released with a way less cute design. Same with O-Chan who went from a human in a cat onesie to a lizard. The music is also phenomenal, some of the best on the Famicom.

I could go on but I probably shouldn't drag out the review, give it a chance if you're curious, it's sadly expensive to get a Famicom copy of this nowadays so you might need to emulate it. Though this game is apparently getting ported to Switch and PS4 so maybe wait and see if the emulation on those are good. (update, it's coming out next week. Kind of crazy just how long they took compared to when the review came out when it was on a different page).
