Hero’s Hour hits consoles – Dive into a swirling mass of pixelated chaos from couch

If you’re a fan of fast-paced strategy games with a nostalgic feel, there’s a new reason to get excited – Hero’s Hour has just been released on consoles! You can now play this chaotic and charming indie title on Xbox, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch.

Originally a surprise hit on PC, Hero’s Hour combines the strategic world exploration of classics like Heroes of Might and Magic with real-time battles where hundreds of units clash on screen. It’s the perfect mix of planning and spontaneity — one minute you’re upgrading your town and recruiting new troops, the next you’re diving into a swirling mass of pixelated chaos.

What makes Hero’s Hour stand out is how alive each playthrough feels. With procedurally generated maps, dozens of factions, spells, and units, no two games are ever the same. You can pick a hero, shape your kingdom, and forge your own path to victory — or glorious failure.

And now, it’s all available from the comfort of your couch. The console version translates surprisingly well, and playing it with a controller feels intuitive (but the mouse as a controller is irreplaceable).
