Gameplay
Reception ''The One'' gave the Amiga version of ''Hero Quest'' an overall score of 91%, expressing that it "for the most part" faithfully recreates the tabletop version, but is 'oversimplified' in some areas, and stating that "this over-simplifying is mainly apparent in combat: a larger feeling of involvement would have been generated by even the simplest of additions such as the rolling of a dice ''sic''. As it stands, the fights are pretty bland and act more as a temporary obstacle than as a major part of the excitement". ''The One'' also criticises ''Hero Quest's'' 'minimal' animation, but expresses that aside from these grievances, ''Hero Quest'' has succeeded in "taking all the elements from the board game and convincingly turning them into a highly playable computer game", furthermore calling it "an excellent conversion of an already enjoyable table-top".The reviewer from ''Amiga Computing'' wrote that "''Hero Quest'' represents great value for the money". The reviewer from ''Amiga Action'' considered the game "worth buying whether you are a fan of the boardgame or not. Excellent!". The reviewer from ''Amiga Format'' said: "Gremlin have managed to produce the computer doppleganger of the original board-game bestseller and 300,000 people can't be wrong: can they?" The reviewer from ''CU Amiga'' stated that "Gremlin must be congratulated for a job well done". The reviewer from ''Amiga Power'' wrote that "''Hero Quest'' is an enjoyable piece of software indeed, and one of the best multiplayer experiences available for the Amiga". The reviewer from ''ACAR'' called the game "technically superb".
