    Unruly Heroes is a solid game, a good game, a fun game, it just isn’t a brilliant game. All of the components are fun, the visual style is lovely, the characters are easy to use and the puzzles don’t make you want to throw your Switch at the cat. Those are all good qualities, but it just lacks that little bit extra that would turn it into a great game, a must-play. You aren’t going to walk away with a new appreciation of life or Journey to the West, just a feeling of “Yeah, that was a laugh.”

    Los gráficos son preciosos, el juego pretende ser gracioso a la vez que te embarca en una aventura épica, en la que conoces y enfrentas a unaLos gráficos son preciosos, el juego pretende ser gracioso a la vez que te embarca en una aventura épica, en la que conoces y enfrentas a una muy nutrida variedad de enemigos; cada personaje (son 4) tiene su propio estilo de pelea y particularidades que irás usando según la zona o situación en la que te encuentres; a veces incluso usarás a los enemigos.

    Hay un elemento que no considero precisamente malo, pero sí que puede mejorar bastante: los controles. ¿Cómo decirlo? A veces da la impresión de que no responden en cuanto aprietas los botones.

    En general el juego es bueno: tiene buenos gráficos, buenos y variados jefes, es entretenido y está barato. ¿Qué más quieres?    … Full Review »

There were so manyThis might be the worst game I have ever played through. The movement mechanics constantly change to adjust to the levels. There were so many instances where my character would just kind of float to where they needed to be. This always saved me but made it impossible to get a feel for the movement so it feels awful to play. How does a platformer completely fail at making jumping fun?… Full Review »

Being able to swap between the four characters gives you four lives essentially before you fully die. This is often an extremely important feature during the harder battles. Each hero also has its own ability that can be used to solve simple puzzles to make your way through the world. Each feels different but similar enough that you don’t have to learn them all individually.

    The environment is what is truly special about this title though. The art style is amazing similar to the brightly colored worlds of Rayman which makes sense because most of the team that made unruly heroes comes from the Rayman studio. The art is bright and detailed and extremely beautiful causing you to stop and admire the variety of different environments that the levels take place in. The music is a great fit for the art and gameplay keeping the experience feeling fun even in the later stages of the game.

    Even with the fast fun fighting and absolutely beautiful art I did feel a little let down with the puzzle aspect of the gameplay. I never felt very challenged when solving a puzzle which feels like a missed opportunity to bring another layer of strong gameplay to the title. This isn’t a huge complaint by any means because the game is meant to be a platformer that is based around fast moving combat and not is puzzles. Some of the puzzles are really interesting but others seem to lack making consistency an issue. Even with this I think Unruly heroes is completely worth your time just for the absolutely marvelous world that this team has created for you to explore. The quick addictive fighting style that focuses around swapping your hero out at the correct moment really makes Unruly Heroes a true treat.    … Full Review »
