    The music in Hebereke/Ufouria is widely praised for its catchy and iconic tracks, characterized by the distinctive NES Sunsoft bass. While the soundtrack enhances the game's quirky and fun atmosphere, some players noted issues with music speed due to differences in PAL and NTSC versions, expressing a desire for options to toggle between the original and altered soundtracks in future releases. Overall, the game's music remains a standout feature that contributes significantly to its charm.

    • “Hebereke/Ufouria is a classic NES game with fun gameplay and great music that can now be enjoyed on Steam!”
    • “The game has incredibly unique silliness, a visual style, and a catchy soundtrack.”
    • “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), and 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 players a separate menu that provides translations of cutscenes alongside comparison shots of the altered localized version. This feature enhances the experience by highlighting the differences in narrative and visual design between the original and its European/Australasian release, appealing to both nostalgic fans and newcomers.

    • “It is a bit unusual that the way the game treats the translation of the original story is by not editing the original game, but rather by providing you with a special separate menu that offers a translation of the cutscene you’ve just seen in Japanese. As an added bonus, it also provides comparison shots with the Ufouria version, where things were very altered.”
    • “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.”
    • “It is a bit unusual that the way the game treats the 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. 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.”
