    Although Underhero will forever be one of my favourite games, the ending worlds do drag on a bit. Despite that, I recommend basically everyone try it, as it will definitely put a smile on your face.

    Underhero is a fun platforming RPG that puts players in the boots of a faceless mook attempting to subvert his evil overlord. It’s quite good indeed!

The game is underrated yet has an amazing soundtrack and good game play. The platforming is good and level layouts are well done. Game art stands out and has a charm. The story is interesting yet cliched but in a good way. The story doesn't stand out much among all the other story games in this world but its so lovable. This is not a game that is easily forgettable and if you don't mind just relaxing for a bit and taking time to play something new this game will most certainly keep you hooked.… Expand

Underhero has a interesting premise and a decent plot. the combat is nice and the bribery system is well done. the dialogue is very humorous and it knows when to be serous as well. I enjoy the art style and characters a lot and the game is well built save for a few platforms which can be a bit wonky along with a few other issues. but its fairly priced and i really enjoyed it and would recommend checking it out.… Expand

There are some fun minigames and interesting story twists to spice it up, too.… Expand

TheUnderHero is a pleasant game to go through, with its hilarious dialogue and colorful cast of characters, this game is a joyful experience. The platforming could definitely use a bit more work as it sometimes isn't that engaging to do, and the combat does grow a bit repetitive after you know an enemy's pattern and how to dodge their attacks. The bosses are a breath of fresh air as they combine platforming and the combat to make for special fights that required more skill than usual. The combat itself is something new as it forgoes the turn-based combat from RPGs for a stamina system that requires you to spend your turns wisely or else you'll leave yourself open for enemy attacks. Overall, UnderHero is something new with inspiration of past RPGs to create a game with colorful characters, an engaging battle system, and a typical RPG story flipped on its head making for a great game to play through to the end.… Expand
