Pixel Heroes: Byte & Magic Review (PS4)

Pixel Heroes: Byte & Magic has made its way to PlayStation 4 for $14.99.



Pixel Heroes: Byte & Magic is a nostalgic adventure that gives you the experiences of the classic days of gaming. The developers at The Bitfather wanted to give gamers an old-school experience and remind players of how ingeniously creative games use to be.

The RPG is dosed full of humor with retro throwbacks to the old ways of gaming. Pixel Heroes: Byte & Magic involves an ancient cult called The Sons of Dawn who worship a dark and mysterious god. This cult is now recruiting people for its bidding and might want to stir up more chaos then the world can handle. Their actions are leading down a dangerous path that could destroy everything.

Once you boot up the game, players into this old-school world populated by Pixel Heroes and start to prepare yourself for the adventure ahead. There is a lot to do in Pixel Heroes: Byte & Magic that includes fun events, dark dungeons and the and even some quirky NPCs to interact with. You are allowed to choose up to three heroes to join your party--each one has their own unique skills and abilities. It is up to your team of heroes to journey across the unknown world, collect awesome loot and then defeat the evil that wants to destroy the beautiful township of Pixton.

In the end, Pixel Heroes: Byte & Magic is a charming game for die-hard fans who love the feel of old-school RPGS. While the game is charming, there are a few flaws such as its repetitive gameplay. To learn more, visit the official Pixel Heroes: Byte & Magic PlayStation Store.
