Review: I Am The Hero (PlayStation 4)

I Am The Hero is a love note to retro gaming, ripped from the fuzzy memories of the developer’s childhoods and seasoned with a wild passion for fighting games. If you want a truly modern re-interpretation of classic gaming, then it’s time to join the fate and answer one simple question, ‘are you the hero?’

Pros:

• Five save slots.
• Heroes guide- Tutorial, text-based.
• Three difficulties- Standard, Hard and critical.
• Side scrolling beat em up gameplay.
• Brief tutorial pop-ups in-game.
• Huge combo list.
• Level end you pick 1 of 2 bonuses.
• Unlock new characters.
• EX moves are special moves and unique to different characters.
• Platinum trophy.
• Relatively easy trophy list.
• You can swap characters at the push of a button and each character has there own health bar.
• Combo list on the pause screen.
• Some great locations.
• Nice animations.

Cons:

• Annoying repetitive music.
• Fighting feels sluggish and almost delayed.
• Enemies have too much health.
• Just a button masher.
• Little variation.
