My Little Hero

Almost legendary

by Harry Slater 7/5/2012

Modern gaming owes a lot to The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Every now and then a new game turns up to try and repay some of that debt, mixing the classic top-down, dungeon exploring template with some more up-to-date twists.

My Little Hero is the latest attempt to recapture the hacking and slashing majesty of the Nintendo classic, and while it's a little rough around the edges it's endearing and enjoyable enough to melt the heart of even the fiercest cynic.

Cardboard knight ...

Gorgeous graphics, easy to pick up gameplay, and a couple of flaws that are easy to look past mean that My Little Hero is definitely worth checking out
