    UnderHero is a hidden gem of a game with a brilliant soundtrack, a great cast of characters, and an engaging combat system. However, the game is dragged down slightly due to issues in the game's pacing. Its humour is consistently witty, and its story often emotional and inspired. It is a must-play game for anyone who wants a game similar to the early Paper Mario titles.

    The title UnderHero gives a hint about what the game is about, but it also shows the game's rather unassuming nature. With its exploration-heavy gameplay, creative combats and a plot that gets completely flipped upside down early on, Underhero grows to be a marvel of an experience that only gets the player more and more interested right around the same time as other games start losing their interest.

    Underhero creatively weaves platforming, turn and timing-based combat, and adventure elements into a gorgeous and inspired experience. Even though it relies a little too much on circuitous paths and the slingshot weapon is frustrating to aim, it’s hard not to smile the entire time you’re playing Underhero. It’s another in the long list of amazing, must-play indie titles that every Switch owner needs to take a long look at. If nothing else, who hasn’t wanted to peak behind the curtain at the everyday machinations of an evil overlord and his scores of minions?

    Underhero is a brilliant game with quirky and fun dialogues that knows how to mix elements of different genres.

It’s not perfect with it’s many glitches, but it’s critically underrated. It should be up there with the other games like Undertale and Cuphead. The story is very interesting to me and it’s able to be replayed multiple times. The characters are full of personality, and this game can tug at your heartstrings. Did I mention that the OST is wonderful? My personal favorite is Torn Stitch.… Full Review »

Unique timing/stamina-based combat system is the game's highlight. I also enjoyed the silly writing. Nice art direction and music. The level design is probably the weakest aspect as there is way too much backtracking, and the layouts are a little confusing.. A lack of any kind of map also doesn't help matters. Definitely worth a play!… Full Review »
