    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 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?    … Expand

    This 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?

    The gameplay is fast and quick moving and difficult at times. Being able to swap between the four characters gives you four lives essentially before you fully die.

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.    … Expand

    Played two hours yesterday with other 3 friends (local co-op) on a big projector. Here's our early thoughts:

    Difficulty-wise might be a bit too hard for casual players: we got stuck quite a few times and it went from fun to tedious as we had to understand how to beat bosses (or what to do) to proceed. The little frustration also came in as a result of levels having way too few checkpoints: it happened 4-5 times during our playthrough that we had to repeat entire sections of a level after dying because checkpoints were too sporadic.

    On some level it felt like a Dark Souls — where difficulty is high and checkpoints are not many — where the game starts to build some anxiety as you go forward and become more attentive and focused not to die after 10-15m of playing that part of the level.

    This is just to say that you need to play it with people having some little platforming skills or they will easily get frustrated. I usually play Overcooked and Death Squared when I have casual videogame-friends over and I wouldn't play UH.

    However, we had lots of fun! We kept laughing quite hard as people died and we had to rescue them and also became a great team during hard boss fights.

    Design-wise it's great, we all loved it. Audio dubbing is a bit mediocre but also not too important in my opinion for this type of game.

    Highly recommend it from my limited playthrough if you have skilled friends coming over!    … Expand

    Great platformer. Almost as good as Rayman Legends. Arts is fantastic. this is a must buy for platformer lovers. hope more people support this game so developers launch a physical version. Game is not easy. this is for people who want a challenge. Controls are very good. all four characters have their unique feeling, attacks and special abilities.

    I was skeptical firstly about this game thinking that it's another platformer. Over the first hour I changed my mind, I liked the mechanics, the game is definitely challenging sometimes and you need to replay some moments once again until you pass through, but still, I like it. Heroes are different, bosses are unique.

    Unruly Heroes is far from a bad game. In fact, it has some of my favorite platforming of recent memory, at least in terms of pure gameplay. It just lacks the polish needed for platformer completionists like me, and it’s uncompelling story and music did not help. At least the developers are supporting it with content, despite it being months after its launch. If you are looking for an affordable platformer, this game is a must, but don’t expect to be putting in the same hours as Yoshi’s Crafted World.

    Unruly Heroes is a classic platformer that borrows a lot from other renowned games, but still manages to give it its own magic touch.
