About

Unruly Heroes is a 2D action-packed adventure game inspired by the famous chinese novel ‘A journey to the west’ better known as the Monkey King Legend. Through acrobatic challenges, players take control of four unlikely heroes and fight a diverse line-up of memorable enemies in solo or coop and be part of an epic adventure in a colorful and fantasy world! Set against lushly illustrated environments in a hand-drawn art style, the game updates that classic tale to make for an epic adventure that is more colorful and lighthearted than the original, while still highlighting the essence of what it takes to be a hero. In addition to this madcap adventure, players will be able to show their kung fu style by fighting their friends in local or online PvP.

With a little more polish, this could've been one of PS4's better indie platformers. As it stands, Unruly Heroes is a beautiful game with gameplay flaws putting a dampener on things. It's largely a fun game to play, especially in co-op, but controls aren't as tight as they should be, and combat devolves into button mashing territory all too easily. The result is a decent, if unremarkable, side-scrolling action title.

The ever-expanding Switch eShop has no shortage of excellent platformers under its belt, and while Unruly Heroes may not be the absolute best of the best, this is still one of the finest platformers we've played in a long time. Stunningly beautiful art direction coupled with diverse level design and well-paced gameplay makes this one an easy recommendation for both longtime platformer fans and for new players looking for an easier game to get into. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but Unruly Heroes hits all the notes that it needs to, and it's more than deserving of a spot in your games library.
