My first half hour or so playing Hero Core - this game is brilliant!

Almost everything is spot on - varied and challenging enemies, an absorbing world design, upgradable weapons and metroid style ability/progress mechanics. I’m amazed that the monochrome graphics are able to convey so much, and that such a simple looking game contains so much complexity.

There really isn’t much to criticise, apart from the fact that the two tone graphics can make it difficult to see what is going when things get hectic (as they frequently do over on the left side of the asteroid). Definitely worth the two hours it will take to play it to completion.
