While the PSP original may has worked well with the bite-sized content, a port to PC/Steam simply doesn't to well to the main idea. The concept loses its luster quickly, even with what would be a quick and simple ~30 quests/missions/levels/whatever. By the time I was done finishing all of the paths for the primary Hero 30 mode, I just had enough of it. I may look at it more fondly a few years down the line. But for now, I don't think I'll want to keep track of this again. The writing either flew over my head, or the joke was more blunt than a rusty wheelbarrow filled with bags of cheap concrete.

[extremely Jerry Seinfeld voice]:
What's the big deal with grinding? You know, where your little avatar character goes out into the tall grass to catch some Pokémons. And what happens, little tiny numbers go up? Why do these people play this? It's like they're trying to reinvent the wheel, but this time the Japanese fellas are making accounting all over again!

The hardest I ever laughed was just a goofy chuckle at one of the in-game 'Evil Lords' that was a chicken who's name was "Cuckold", and said laughter was more in credit to recent social media & messageboard slapfights.

Oh and apparently there's a sequel to this for some reason why.
