    Next Up Hero feels a bit more like an online app or a means of promoting Mixer rather than a fully realized game. If you happen to have the Xbox Game Pass, this might be worth giving a try, just don't expect much substance or variety.

As there's no sense of momentum or heft to the combat and very limited AI patterns, it feels a little like a proof of concept rather than a game, with in-game currency and some sort of online component that doesn't seem to have a reason to exist.
