What. A. Game!

This game feels like it's about 10 of your favourite games rolled into one. If you like action and battle, RTS, complex economics, powers and abilities, Rogue-likes, those maths flash games you played in high school, metroid-vanias or just having the time of your life then this game is for you!!! :)

The best thing is also that it's so adaptable. You can get deep into when to tap your powers or just chuck on the auto button and you're living your best life while destroying the most powerful foes in the land! :):) Once I was telling a chick that she's probably a guy with a voice changer in Overwatch while I was taking on the toughest brutes in the tower in Hero Wars on full auto and it just made me contemplate the limits of humanity! :):)

I wish all games had an auto button (Imagine breath of the wild with an auto button! :):):) ) and sometimes I wish there was a way to auto the full game because then I could leave it at home and just have it grinding out for me. I'd probably come home to a bajillion money, gems, chests, raid tickets, energy, blue chests, brown chests, purple chests, purple coins, blue ticket things, stars and probably just pride. See what I mean about complex economics :P

Honestly, when you just chuck this game on full auto (especially in the arena, PVP mode, where its auto on auto! haha), it's like watching the gods of Olympus go up against the Titans. You are not going to want to blink! :):)

When you forget to put the game on auto in some modes it is just brutal. But it really reminds me how far I've come in the game and in my life when that happens, so it's still a positive! :)

As a bonus, all of the babes are pretty much in bikinis and the dudes covered fully. That just helps stop any you know, guy thoughts, though the red guy with only a loincloth on is giving me some trouble! :P

Probably the only con is that I kind of lose respect for people that won't play the game or talk bad about it. Clearly the other reviewers here haven't even played or if they did, their IQ probably just wasn't high enough to really get the game. That's sad.

You know the best thing, I've been playing Hero Wars this whole time while I've been writing the review! :):) It's a life hack!

It's a shame, isn't it?

These days, we have it all. We can easily access an entire console's library with a mere flick of our fingers through means that don't hurt anyone. You could play mods, fixes, hacks and all sorts of things to improve or build upon whatever it is you're interested in. We have everything we could imagine to play anything in gaming history, but despite all this, you can never stop time's continuous march forward. We grow older, we develop more as a society, and technology progresses towards it's next plateau until the next big breakthrough, but could you really know what it's like to play something from it's time period without knowledge of what we have now? To envision yourself as that five year old kid playing it for the very first time? Could you really?

The very first 3D game that I remember playing was Hard Drivin' on the Sega Genesis. It was an impressive looking racer for it's time, but even when I was that young and so full of imagination I only ever saw it as "neat". It wasn't exactly leaving a mark on me anytime soon with it's scenic barnyard aesthetic and lack of music during gameplay. It was funny to crash, that was about it. I laughed, and I went back to playing my 2D games of which many even today still enjoy. Three Dee? What of it? Star Fox you say? Super FX you say? I don't know what those are, but it sure sounds cool!

For me, it was something I couldn't believe. The immediate introduction with that cinematic shot of the giant carrier slowly approaching Corneria with the backing of that powerful and sinister orchestra hooked me immediately. I was amazed. Am I really playing this? Yes, yes I was. Soon as I knew it, I was piloting an Arwing and living that cinematic space-flying adventure with the coolest rock tune to grace my ears at the time. I was navigating through asteroid fields, taking part in chaotic assaults on Andross' space armada and destroying gigantic battleships from the inside in my own little trench run. This wasn't any old game I was used to, it was an experience, and it was amazing. I loved it, and I would never forget it.

...and now, all those... moments are lost on those who come after me, and I find myself alone and lonely on this mountaintop. Star Fox... was no longer considered that amazing, it was just..."neat", like Hard Drivin' on the Genesis. Heartbreaking. Some could be ignorant, some could be respectful, and others could even enjoy it, but I know that deep down they could never be awestruck by it. Their experience will never be the same as mine was, and it will never hit the same again. It's pathetic maybe to lament, but I've come to face the music. I will never meet someone from generations onward who will love this as much as me, and my loneliness will continue as I feel more and more like the last of my kind. Maybe it hit at just the right age as my creativity was just beginning to manifest? I dunno how else to describe my attachment. It rules, and it still has the best sound I have ever experienced off the system. Feel those enemy shots go past you as you boost through space, experience the explosions radiating off the bosses after they're defeated. God.....it's so good.

At the end of it all, Star Fox is still Star Fox and my heart never changed. If I must be alone on this mountain until I die, then so be it. I ain't moving.
