Hero Rescue

I just played Hero Rescue, and suddenly, so many genre combos make sense. The game has you pulling pins to make your way through levels, killing monsters, rescuing princesses, and, of course, collecting that sweet treasure. The idea sounds simple, but the levels are created to make you think again before you act, wringing your brain as you’re trying to solve special puzzles and avoid deadly traps.

Community buzz indicates that if you tread carefully through the treacherous paths of Hero Rescue you might just trip over a glitch that offers up coins in your direction. The game, on its other palm, is a test of your tactical ability and reflexes, featuring environments where a mishap can lead to slapsticky but unfortunate results for our main character. It’s so much less than where you’re going; it’s the ride there and the several hundred random coins you could pick up on the way.

And about all that treasure, despite the absurd amount they can hoarde, players love to get the delightful sensation of building up riches and saving the world, even if that sometimes means a horrible death due to a removed stick for no good reason. It is a journey worth taking if you ever wanted to be a rich hero saving your town hall. If you have been looking for a game that will get your problem-solving skills running, try this one. And, when in doubt, don’t pull the red pin, it’s usually a trap!

If you want something like that with the same charm, you can try Adam and Eve, a brilliant puzzle solver.
