DESCRIPTION:

Underhero is a 2D side-scroller RPG adventure game with timing-based combat. It tells an intriguing and mysterious story, full of silly characters brimming with personality, quirky dialogue, and lots of weird humor.

STORY:

Inspired by Paper Mario games and RPGs in general, it tells the story of a world where the chosen hero has failed and an underling of the main villain takes his place as the new “hero”.
Join Elizabeth IV and a little Masked kid in a journey across the Chestnut Kingdom to once again, defeat the evil Mr. Stitches! Meet friends, foes and other weird characters in the mysterious world of Underhero.
...Wait, once again!?

FEATURES:

A sidescrolling RPG adventure full of beautiful pixel art and cartoony aesthetics.
Turn-based combat with a twist: there are no turns! Use your reflexes to evade, and your timing to attack or parry! We call it timing-based combat.
Level ups let you choose between three options! HP, attack and stamina! Choose wisely...
Enemies consider you their ally, so talk to them in-battles!
Critical hits occur when you hit an enemy with the beat of the music, not randomly! Groovy~
You want to escape a tough battle? Bribe your enemies!
A wonderful original soundtrack composed by Stijn van Wakeren.
Explorable worlds sprinkled with many hidden secrets.
Mini games!
Puzzle elements.
Some good old platforming.
Fun and intense boss battles!
A satire of RPG tropes.
A story shrouded in mystery, with many twists and turns…

Underhero 4.1.2 Patch notes

Hello!

Today we have a more by the numbers update, we mostly fixed some bugs and adjusted a few things.

Bug fixes:

Swimming bug where the character would jump repeatedly when holding down the jump button with keyboard.
Certain lava switch doing a disappearing act.
Buying things with keyboard unintentionally bought many items at once with one key press.
HUD appearing with every jump when it shouldn't.
Couldn't delete files with keyboard because the "d" key was now back. Whoops.
It was impossible to hide inside the hiding spots in World 5 with keyboard.
Some Elizabeth dialogue prompts not working with keyboard in World 5.
Trying to type a name for a file with a controller connected would cause the "s" and "d" key to respond during typing, and would accept or close respectively.
Issue where drawing tablets were being detected as gamepads, which meant keyboard players would have play with Xbox icon prompts.
Using a forced resolution no longer resets when returning to the main menu.
Cloud saves now working on Linux version.

In other news, there is a super cool fan effort right now to mod Underhero and potentially collaborate with the community to create translations for the game! The tool is still in the early testing stages and it might not happen at all mind you, but we are working closely with them to help as much as we can.
