    88 Heroes: 98 Heroes Edition is an enjoyable game with an interesting and unique premise, plus the multiple game modes do make for a lot of replayability. However, some of the heroes basically do nothing but jump and some of the ones that can attack have attacks that can easily backfire if you don’t know what you’re doing, making a lot of the game trial and error. Also if you get down to just one hero, get very used to him/her/it as you do have unlimited continues, but unless you get enough coins to revive someone, that’s all you have for the rest of the game.

    88 Heroes is pure arcade fun. A game system as simple and straightforward as original and addictive.

    This Switch port suffers from some serious frame rate issues at times. While there’s every chance these could be fixed with a patch, at the time of writing they’re still there. It’s a good idea, but at £29.99 / $29.99 I’d expect a hell of a lot more bang for my buck than a quirky platformer that, while well designed, relies on randomness as its main gimmick.

    Game is way more fun than you'd think - The different characters aren't 'exactly' as unique as they make out, but most of them are so that adds a lot

    El mundo es invadido por alienígenas y es nuestro deber comandar a 88 extravagantes héroes debido a que los verdaderos super hombres estabanEl mundo es invadido por alienígenas y es nuestro deber comandar a 88 extravagantes héroes debido a que los verdaderos super hombres estaban ocupados en otra tarea. Para ello es necesario adaptarse cada vez a un personaje random con el fin de salir ileso de las difíciles pantallas del juego.
    Éste indie tiene mucha personalidad, es un clásico juego de plataformas 2D con gráficos retro pero con la dinámica que la jugabilidad va a variar tras cada nueva secuencia, los controles están bien diseñados por lo que es nuestra culpa si uno de los personajes no llega a la meta del nivel.
    Si eres fan de los desafíos "88 Heroes: 98 Heroes Edition" es una buena opción, es un juego ideal para Switch para jugarlo cuándo y cómo sea.
