About BE THE HERO
INTENSE VR ACTION MEETS VIRTUAL COMIC
Ever wanted to be as fast as the flash, as agile as spiderman, or as supreme as one punch man? Now's the time, time to Be the Hero!
Our mission was to create an experience that throws you into the extraordinary reality of a Hero, much like the heroes and heroines we grew up reading about in various manga, as Japanese.- GAMEPLAY -
Embody the powers of “KUROGANE” and blaze through the metropolis at hyperspeed with our fluid combat locomotion! Scale walls, leap across rooftops, and reign justice from any angle you please to sever the enemies power. Will you learn to harness the true power of a hero?
- GAME FEATURES -
- Fast-paced locomotion WITH Combat!
Unlike other titles, we’ve made it our mission to merge a great combat system with fast yet fluid locomotion. Using our new system, "IDATEN Locomotion," run at hyperspeed whilst still maneuvering in the ways that feel natural. - A unique VR storytelling!
Ever read a comic late at night only to fall asleep and dream about becoming that hero!? We’ve transitioned that nostalgia into an immersive VR experience, blending comic book with intense VR action and fluid locomotion. At the climax of the story, you will dive into the comic and play out the actions of a Hero! - Epic BOSS BATTLES!
Not only will you have to traverse the environment to battle but also the opponent itself. Some of our boss battles run on the larger side :P
- STORY -
Long in the distant past, there was an era where humanity flourished not via the marvels of science but through the might of the supernatural.
The island nation farthest to the east was ruled by a people called The Masked.
They possessed the magic to create masks which allowed the wearers to draw
out and manipulate their mental energy.
With miraculous power came greed, and feuds soon developed into wars. Many
warriors rose and fell. By the time The Masked had defeated their enemies, they
were left at the brink of extinction.
Kurogane, the sole survivor of the Masked's warriors, and the priestess Sakuya,
managed to corner the mastermind of the wars and their greatest enemy, Asura,
after much hardship---

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
✦ AI summary
Players praise the satisfying katana controls and sword sheathing mechanics, along with the game's visual style and engaging music, but criticize the repetitive combat with overpowered super moves, poorly animated and unintelligent enemies, and lack of directional guidance that leaves players confused about where to go. The game shows promise in its core concept and VR implementation but feels unpolished overall, with several technical issues and a need for more meaningful story, abilities, and refined enemy AI to justify its price point.
Sheathing the sword is the only enjoyable part of this game. Enemies are boring to fight and put up little resistance. The Super Moves are only fun for the first few times you use them as there are only 2. You also get the super moves far too often so you can just spam them and finish the fight in what feels like seconds. There is also 0 tactile feedback when you slice at enemy. The running is okay however i could do with some adjusting. i dont like that you sprint into walls to climb them because it means that youre staring at a really bad texture until you reach the top. The boss battle is one of the most boring things ive ever done in VR. For some reason they stick you in a tiny arena with him so you have barely any space to move without bumping into a wall. I had to quit half way through it as i completely lost interest in where the game was going. Hopefully the game improves dramatically in future updates cause this games is definetely not worth the £15/$20 people have paid.7 found this helpful
This game katana controls so perfect but ı dont know where ı must go, and enemy npcs so dumb and thet have realy bad animations if this game fix that problems thats realy fun experince but now i don't recommend +katana controls perfect +katana abilitys (lighting strikes) +ensheathe the sword realy satisfying but have some bug sometimes +musics and sounds +run and jump controls realy fun -dumb npcs -bad enemey animations -does not know where to go (player) realy need map this game6 found this helpful
This game in it's current state is actually pretty good. The 20$ price tag is a bit heavy, however, for a game where you just kick ass. It's pretty good. Needs more story and abilites (which I know are on the way) and this is a totally solid game. Iw ould recommend buying this for the whole roadtrip.2 found this helpful
What an amazing game it is i played it for an hour and im so happy that i could play this game for review. Why should u this this game? If u like slash and dash games and u really wanne be a ninja Buy it you have 2 weapons a bow and a sword so if u dont like one u can use the other one. Graphics? This game is full of beautifull lava land and rocks with insane graphic art so you have to see it the enemys are so cool that they split in half when u kill em with your sword. My thoughts? This game is cool and so fun but u can get a little sweaty and tired so thats a good thing for me cuz i like fast past games like beat saber. Bugs? Yes there are some tiny bugs but there are not that noticible The only part where i stopped is when i couldend go further cuz the bridge was a little glitched but u have so much fun that its not a gamebreaker1 found this helpful
I played the demo for this a long long time ago on Itch.io... I don't understand what happened because that was really good and this is not
This game has a lot of potential. I actually like the sword, locomotion, and concept. The gameplay, animation, graphics, story, and everything else really needs work. This game is super, super beta right now.
