About Hero Boy

Hero Boy is a 2D beat-em-up/horror game set inside the notebook of Max, an 8 year old boy chronicling a zombie outbreak. Max, a daydreamer who struggles with bullies in school and has difficulty making friends, is thrust into the middle of the outbreak. As Max witnesses the world crumbling around him, his usually fun doodles become more twisted. You must fight through hordes of enemies...imaginary and real...in order to survive.

Hero Boy is a beat-em-up in the vein of Golden Axe and Double Dragon. Using combos will let you do moves that deal more damage along with other effects like increased knockback and stuns. As you defeat more enemies, your charge meter will fill up. Once it's filled, you'll be able to use your special move. You unlock new special moves as the game progresses that grant different benefits. The game has a wide variety of enemies to fight who will make use of a combination of melee, ranged, or area of effect attacks. You'll be fighting these enemies in different combinations as you progress.

Recommended Nov 3, 2016
A great throwback to old school brawlers. Hero Boy not only has some great gameplay, but has levels and enemies right out of a child's imagination, all while a real life apocalypse threatens said child's life. Gameplay can get a bit difficult, but it's fun to mix and match the special abilities you get to see what can handle each type of enemy you come across. Some genuinely spooky moments in the game as well. Pros: - Great story with a unique art style - Fighting mechanics are solid, unique abilities add more flavor and strategy Some cons: - Some of the levels can feel a bit repetitive as you fight room after room of enemies. - Elephant boss is painful

Cool artwork & silly yet meaningful story through the perspective of a young kid about the perils of bullies & life. I've only played about an hour of the game but it's a cool little 2D beat-em-up with a nice story. I have some issues with the controls via keyboard, which seem like the inputs are delayed before the character strikes, but maybe if I connect my controller to it I'll have a better time with it. It is not bad, I do recommend the game if you love 2D fighting games & dig unique artwork. 6.5/10 for me!!!

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.

Rust price: why the cheap keys vanished, and when to buy
