You've got 30 secs to save the world! oh noes!
Gotta go fast!


A parody of the typically slow, grindy, complicated and expansive plotdriven J-RPG, it condenses the game into much simpler 30 second stages. You will need both the reflexes and the smarts to plan an optimal route to beat the clock!

Speedrunners and RPG fans will get the most kick out of this game. It's also a fantastic, fresh experience for any other players interested and well worth the few bucks it costs when on sale.

I highly reccomend playing to beat the >time<, not the game. Go for the gold, and go beyond!


30 secs to do everything sounds daunting, but you have the option to pray (aka bribe) to the time goddess and reset the clock. Kill some random monsters and you can buy yourself some leeway. This is necessary for the much larger stages and gives even casual players the oppurtunity to get through the game easily.

But you're not a filthy casual, are you? You're a huge nerd with the penchant for speedrunning! Enjoy reverse engineering the game mechanics, planning routes and equipment, executing optimal frame-perfect runs, and feeling great about yourself as you destroy your friends' inferior records. Kill those leaderboards, KILL THEM! Many levels can actually be completed under 30 secs without praying a single time. You'd be surprised how the people on the leaderboards got there. (the legitimate ones, that is)


EXTRA DETAILS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
= Port Features/Differences =
This Steam version mirrors the xbox version. It is missing 1 level that is exclusive to the PSP, but has a different set of 7 stages and equipment (the time beast route). Some levels, items, and mechanics have changed as well; the wiki is somewhat inaccurate in some areas. You can play in the original 8bit style or the new neocartoon look. I reccomend neocartoon for larger resolutions. Multiplayer mode is expanded from the xbox counterpart, but unfortunately very few people are around to play it.

= "60+ RPG Games and Extra Modes" =
The flavor text at the steam page is somewhat misleading. The game advertises itself as 60+ seperate full RPGs; its more truthful to identify them as seperate levels. The main game consists almost entirely of Hero 30 and Hero 300. Knight 30, Evil Lord 30, Princess 30, and so on are advertised as "extra modes" but are in fact seperate chapters that are still relevant to the plot and serve to bridge Hero 30 to Hero 300.

The important thing to note is that the graphics you chose matter in these modes:

- If you play in neo-cartoon mode, Knight 30, Evil Lord 30 and Princess 30 become very short single-level chapters. You'll play different characters with slightly different mechanics, but it will mostly be identical to hero 30.

- If you play in the original 8bit retro-mode, these same chapters become completely different, fleshed out mini-games each with thier own set of levels.

= Bug =
Sometimes entering holes teleport you out of the map and unable to complete the level. It may also cause the game to crash after a level ends. To fix this, you'll have to verify the cache. This glitch is prevalent in quest #22.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Quest #30 (Cursed Hero) is the best level.
At least play through that.
It is a better love story than Twilight.
