School Hero is a classic-style, side-scrolling beat 'em up where you brawl your way to victory against waves of enemy students. Enjoy minigames and challenging difficulty levels.
High school can be tough, but at least you don't usually have to punch your way through hordes of students to save the day! That's the premise of the anime-styled retro brawler, School Hero. As the titular Hero, you'll embark on a quest to rescue your girlfriend from a rival school, battling nerds, football players, cheerleaders, and more in this 2D side-scrolling adventure.
While School Hero treads familiar ground, it offers plenty of variety. Expect diverse levels and enemies—a big plus in the beat 'em up genre—along with a collection of minigames to provide a change of pace from the brawling action.
School Hero is a fun pastiche of the beat 'em up genre, blending stereotypical anime aesthetics with adaptable gameplay and a storyline that, at first glance, seems engaging enough to keep you playing. And yes, it includes controller support.
