School Hero

Fun beat'emup with good artwork, gameplay and story and lots of mechanics/upgrades! I want to finish it to update!

I am going to say for many people, it's the type of pass-time game that will make them happy. But for me, I need gameplay, and here it is just too simplistic and wonky. The full depth of the combat system is uncovered in the first couple of minutes. It's mostly just attack spamming to initiate the auto-combo, and auto-concussing knocked down foes. Occasional charge punch. Inputs and animation/actions are oddly de-coupled which makes the control really janky and you end up with lots of double-inputs. The apparent input delay is so bad you press the input, then have long enough to actually think [i]"wait did that button press register"[/i] only to press again and mess up the initial action [i]because yeah it actually did register[/i]. Sooooo annoying. And then fighting isn't really a challenge, and it really isn't fun or exiting at all. You're limited to extremely [i]deliberate inputs[/i] since the input system is so janky. It drops inputs all the time and doesn't seem to queue inputs, so it's very plodding feeling. You have to carefully enter one attack input at a time, taking care not to buffer any or the move won't come off. Its like fighting in quicksand. So much of the "strategy" is walk move out of range in the Z plane, let the foe close in and walk into your fists. Watch a cloud of 5 all walk into your first at once, and keep pressing X to watch the auto-combo. Or stand and deliver 3 consecutive charge-punches to a bigger foe, who just stands there and eats them and gets knocked out. Then there's the tacked-on "level up" where you can choose to spend 3 skill points on health upgrades or ATK. But unless you're 5 years old and fooled by magic tricks... you realize nothing's actually happening. See, you can only earn XP at the rate enemies are concussed, and the number of enemies is fixed, since they're placed at static locations in specific numbers. You're "leveling up" but so are the enemies, and there's no apparent benefit and its a giant placebo. I thought it did some things really well. For being on limited schedule/team/budget/whatever they did a pretty good job of making the storytelling pretty engaging. You're not needlessly clicking through dumb dialogue boxes, they tell the story with little animated vignettes and it does bring the hype. I will also admit that the moves are cool and have that exaggerated physical/mystical edge. You can even throw hadoukens apparently. They showed me RB in the tutorial and let my try it a bunch, but never explained what resource/mechanism they use if any(?) and I could never throw one in the actual game. Even in the tutorial it tried to show me the "rage art" type move pressing X&Y together. Well guess what the move wouldn't come off. I had to QTD and restart, next time the move came off but of course even studying the screen I could not tell why or what was different this time. This type of stuff frustrates me to no end. If you want more of a hype, action-packed experience that doesn't have a high skill ceiling this might be for you. Again what brought it down for me was that the "game" part of the game was pretty weak and felt paper-thin. And that bored me. As much as I can appreciate storytelling in games for [i]other[/i] gamers, its not what makes [i]this[/i] gamer tick. I need gameplay and it wasn't there. So Idk... basically saying just avoid this one. Unless you hear what I'm saying and don't care because the hype and theme is more your thing. Get it on super sale if you do buy it.

Good & fun beat em up with loads of love put into it.

Приемлемый битемап за свои деньги

É um jogo bem barato e sendo honesto, pelo vasto conteúdo poderia custar até um pouco mais. Vale a pena comprar até fora da promoção. É um jogo de porradaria bem completo. O personagem tem vários golpes - Uppercut - Rola no chão - Bola de energia - Especial - Sequência de socos e chutes - Voadora - Soco carregado Também é possível pegar itens no chão como, taco de baseball, vassouras, placas, etc. para bater nos inimigos e/ou arremessar. Existem vários tipos de inimigos. São umas 7 fases cada uma com um chefe de fase caricato. Algumas dessas fases possuem mais de um chefe que são chamados de "medium boss", algo como chefe médio, eles não são difíceis de derrotar. Todas fases possuem cutscenes explicando o enredo do jogo. Como demonstrado existem pequenos mini-games bem fáceis de jogar. Aqui não existe Emma, Emma, cada um com seus problemas. Caia na porrada com todo mundo e salve essa mocinha.

very fun beat em up from start to finish. Hopefully we get more beat em up games from this developer. Big thumbs up from me. Cheers. https://youtu.be/fbgpdhOPR4I

un genial arcade beat´em up muy japonés que no te puedes perder si te gustan los justicieros que deben salvar a su chica, lo tiene todo: accion trepidante, mini juegos ,mucho humor, una buena ambientación, jugabilidad muy buena y adictiva,.es muy original. Sin duda se merecía mas repercusión, porque llegó sin hacer ruido y parece pasó desapercibido.
