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…
