Description
Underhero is a 2D side-scroller RPG adventure game with timing-based combat. It tells an intriguing and mysterious story, full of silly characters brimming with personality, quirky dialogue, and lots of weird humor.

STORY:

Inspired by Paper Mario games and RPGs in general, it tells the story of a world where the chosen hero has failed and an underling of the main villain takes his place as the new “hero”.
Join Elizabeth IV and a little Masked kid in a journey across the Chestnut Kingdom to once again, defeat the evil Mr. Stitches! Meet friends, foes and other weird characters in the mysterious world of Underhero.

...Wait, once again!?

FEATURES:

  • A sidescrolling RPG adventure full of beautiful pixel art and cartoony aesthetics.
  • Turn-based combat with a twist: there are no turns! Use your reflexes to evade, and your timing to attack or parry! We call it timing-based combat.
  • Level ups let you choose between three options! HP, attack and stamina! Choose wisely...
  • Enemies consider you their ally, so talk to them in-battles!
  • Critical hits occur when you hit an enemy with the beat of the music, not randomly! Groovy~
  • You want to escape a tough battle? Bribe your enemies!
  • A wonderful original soundtrack composed by Stijn van Wakeren.
  • Explorable worlds sprinkled with many hidden secrets.
  • Mini games!
  • Puzzle elements.
  • Some good old platforming.
  • Fun and intense boss battles!
  • A satire of RPG tropes.
  • A story shrouded in mystery, with many twists and turns…

Needs more polish, better backhalf

Really enjoyed this game a lot. The first half of the game is fantastic. Second half though really needs some work (annoying minor backtracking, jungle area , etc.) Has some problems with repeated slightly different content (there's 2 warp room sections, and 2 mazes, in a game this short/small is REALLY annoying/noticable, especially when two are pretty close to eachother). The games also buggy as hell. I hardlocked twice, almost immediately discovered a pointless zip, things like that. Also annoying is you have to skip tutorial to break out of it, so it feels like you can accidentally some things right at the start, you don't learn about until later. That said this game is really cool. Loved the story, even though one of the 'twists' really kinda killed one of my favourite things in the game. Back half of the games mechanics are really sloppy, it kinda has the Evoland problem of not really fleshing them out properly. If they ever polish up this game it'll be for sure be up there higher rated, but it is sadly mediocre as a whole package, which is a shame for what's a really largely fun/interesting game.

Good game but broken control

Game is good but the Control in controller not working properly like no parry button on controller and i encounter few bugs like in some flat form you can't jump while running and only can jump while standing still.

Great game, controller broken on GoG.

Review score based off not currently being able to use a controller with the GoG version; it simply doesn't function properly.
