    Iro Hero is a sci-fi adventure with beautiful pixel art graphics inspired by many old-school classics.

    The interesting mechanics of Iro Hero on Xbox One are enough for me to recommend it to any fans of the shoot-em-up genre.

    Iro Hero is everything you expect with a vertical shooter in that it’s tough, fast-paced and repetitive. The extra mechanic of changing colour is fun to use, and it does test your reflexes and gives you a bit more chance of completing the game. There is not a great deal of content to keep you interested in the long haul, but it still a good enough game for you to jump in straight away and get going.

    Iro Hero: If you are old enough you probably played games like Iro Hero in the coin-op arcade era. Iro Hero is just a game that can give youIro Hero: If you are old enough you probably played games like Iro Hero in the coin-op arcade era. Iro Hero is just a game that can give you the quite same feelings the games did so long ago. Just like all the others Iro Hero has a nice story line also.. You won't care much about the story line most of the times and mostly engrossed into the gameplay that matters mostly. It's never easy to play games like Iro Hero tens of enemy ships attacking you out of blue, and hear this out in Iro Hero you fighting against Aliens that captured humans, and our characters first mission is saving his mother but there's some human fighters with aliens the is how the game mechanics work. Your ship is blue and aliens are red so you killing them but when you get a human fighter you need to change the color of your ship immediately shoot the blue ones as a red fighter then change back at the beginning. Wow that's a mouthful. it's not that hard but sometimes they keep coming on you
    "together" and that's when the real fight begins! Thumbs up from a retro head like myself!    … Expand
