Once upon a time we made fun of RPS at this site!
[quote name="Mischief Maker"]There's a lot of depth to this game, which is the bane of a professional game reviewer with a deadline: [quote name="RPS Critic"]Picture the scene: you are at the beach. It is a real-time strategy beach, where metaphors happen. A lawless-looking child hands you a bucket. When you look into the bucket, you find sand, paint, bread, pottery, chocolate, nails, and several crabs all speaking different languages. Isn't this fascinating? What the hell is going on? This is Hero's Hour, an untidy RTS sand bucket filled with so many ideas it's hard to see how this turbulent mix will have any structural integrity at all when you finally up-end the bucket to build a tower. And yet… it sorta does? I don't know. I'm lost. How do I get off this beach?[/quote] Tell me this reviewer isn't just annoyed he can't press X to not die and get this review banged out in a couple hours before he has to sit down to dinner and explain to his parents what is does <I>is</I> an actual job, thank you.[/quote]
