The music in Hebereke/Ufouria is widely praised for its catchy and iconic tracks, characterized by the distinctive NES Sunsoft bass. Players appreciate the game's quirky and fun soundtrack, although some have noted issues with music speed due to differences in PAL and NTSC versions, leading to a desire for options to toggle between original and adjusted music speeds in future releases. Overall, the soundtrack is considered a standout feature that enhances the game's charm.
- “Hebereke/Ufouria is a classic NES game with fun gameplay and great music that can now be enjoyed on Steam!”
- “Still, it’s quirky, fun, and the soundtrack is genuinely great.”
- “Every music track is iconic, thanks to the NES Sunsoft bass.”
- “Because I played that (Wii VC) version, whoever did the programming of that release didn't make the adjustment to slow down the music (PAL releases had 50Hz and NTSC releases were 60Hz, so playing a PAL game on an NTSC console back then would make the music speed up). Because of that, when I played this new release, I thought something was wrong with the music.”
- “I was so used to hearing the sped-up version of this soundtrack that I never knew about the original way it was meant to be.”
- “I know this sounds odd and I know it will be very unlikely, but it would be very nice to have Ufouria on this release as well with the option of either the original music or the PAL on NTSC music on this release.”

The story of "Hebereke" (or "Ufouria: The Saga") is notable for its unique approach to translation, offering a separate menu that provides translations of cutscenes alongside comparison shots of the original and localized versions. This feature enhances the experience by highlighting the significant changes made to the plot and visual designs in the European and Australasian releases, appealing to both nostalgic fans and new players.
- “It is a bit unusual that the way the game treats translation of the original story is by not editing the original game, but rather by providing you with a special separate menu that provides a translation of the cutscene you’ve just seen in Japanese, but at least as an added bonus it also provides comparison shots with the Ufouria version, where things were very altered.”

- “The extra features really add to the experience, especially seeing the differences in the story between the original and the localized version.”
- “I know some people have nostalgic feelings for Hebereke, also known as Ufouria: The Saga in the European and Australasian release of the game that changed the plot and some visual designs.”

The graphics have notable issues, particularly at the edges of the screen, which are attributed to the limitations of the NES's drawing capabilities.
- “There are some graphical issues you'll notice at the edge of the screen, just caused by the way things are drawn on the NES.”
