Half-Minute Hero Ships
Torrance, Calif., (October 13, in the year of our Lord 2009) –XSEED Games is pleased to announce today that Half-Minute Hero for PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) is now shipping to retailers across North America and will also be available shortly for digital download on the Playstation® Network Store. The highly-anticipated Half-Minute Hero is available exclusively for the PSP and PSPGo handheld systems.
Half-Minute Hero is a unique addition to the RPG genre, with revolutionary fast-paced gameplay spread over four distinctive modes. Players are offered an enormous amount of variety as they can choose between four modes of accelerated game-play totaling over 100 unique stages. Among the modes are the quick level-grinding of Hero Mode and the rapid-fire shooting of Princess Mode, all executed in classic 8-bit style graphics and backed by a rocking soundtrack. Marked by tongue-in-cheek humor, each mode features original quests, enemies, and gameplay style. No matter the mode, players have just 30 seconds or, a half-minute, to save the world.
Early reviews agree that Half-Minute Hero brings a breath of fresh air to conventional definitions of genres and gaming in general. I
