Call for Heroes: Pompolic Wars Reviews

IGN and GamingExcellence have both taken the time to review Strategy First and Quotix Software’s Call for Heroes: Pompolic Wars, though their reactions aren’t pretty. IGN gave the game an “Abysmal” 1.2/10:

Notice to innocent consumers: avoid Call for Heroes as if your life depended on it. It’s enough to destroy your motivation to ever game again. If you see it on a retail shelf, scream like you’re on fire, berate the store manager for carrying the game, sprint out, drive home and immediately take a shower. Call your friends and let them know. Knowledge is power, people, and the more gamers that neglect adding this title to their libraries, the further along our ramshackle civilization will advance.

While GamingExcellence gave the game a “Terrible” 2.4/10:

Overall, Call For Heroes isn’t just a bad game. It isn’t just boring because it’s mindless. Hack and slash games have their audience as well, and there are some great games on the market that require no thought to play while the hero swings and cuts his way through throngs of sword fodder. No, it’s not just a bad game. The problem with this title is that it embodies a torrent of design concepts that the rest of the industry decided to eschew in favour of more enjoyable models. Even the graphics feel like something from a decade ago, when the third dimension was something new on the computer screen.

Ouch.
