Kemono Heroes is a charming retro-style platformer that successfully captures the arcade magic of classic SNES games with beautiful pixel art and four uniquely playable characters. Players praise the smooth controls, engaging co-op gameplay, catchy music, and each character's distinct playstyle, making it feel both nostalgic and modern. The main criticism is that the game is quite short, though most players still find the experience worthwhile and enjoyable for the price.
[h3]A fox, a monkey, a cat and a flying squirrel meet up in an inn..[/h3] This game really hearkens back to the SNES-era where mascot platformers were all the rage. Kemono Heroes takes that early 90s console magic and seasons it with a heavy dose of asian flair and what you get is an arcade adventure for up to four players each taking control of a diverse cast of characters to defeat the vengeful moon spirit threatening to encase the world in marble (or something similar). The story is told in cutscenes and, to be honest, made little sense to me, but I can confirm it relates to ancient warrior spirits, a weird thing on/in the moon and an ancient order of nuns/monks? Despite the lack of insight I found the lore quite intriguing, and even though the overall story might be something lost in a cultural limbo. On top of that I greatly enjoyed the different styles of the more commonly encountered enemies in these kinds of games. The graphics are lovely and really reminds me of the best games of the console era with its vibrant colour schemes and plenty of details to get lost in. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3515674938 You have one main attack and begin with an…11 found this helpful
This game is a loveletter to every good platformer on the snes.

A fast, fun, and charming co-op adventure featuring gorgeous pixel art. Every hero feels unique, and the action never lets up. If you love retro games, this one's pure joy. here is my Review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djBp4BvMYvU&t=1s&ab_channel=Chochklah1 found this helpful
In this game you can choose between 4 furries to play, a fox, a squirrel, a monkey and a cat. I choosed the cat and played the game on EASY mode. Yeah, it was easy and enjoyable, plus I liked the music. The movement, the fighting and everything feels good. The game is very short, but it was still a very good experience. There are also a lot monsters with different attacks. Its also a bit platformer-like. As a cozy gamer that also enjoys fighting games, I would say YES to this game.1 found this helpful
Kemono Heroes is a fast-paced, retro-style action-platformer where you play as one of four animal warriors, slicing and dashing your way through colorful, enemy-filled stages. It’s got all the charm of a classic arcade game but feels smooth and modern, making it super easy to jump into whether you’re solo or playing with friends. Pros: ✔️ Retro Feel Nailed: I really loved how they captured the feel of those old-school games without making it feel outdated. It’s got that nostalgic vibe but plays super clean and tight. ✔️ Unique Playstyles for Each Character: Every character felt just different enough to keep things interesting without overcomplicating it. It gave me a reason to try each one and mix up my playthrough. ✔️ Plays Great, Especially on Controller: This game was clearly made with controllers in mind—it felt natural and responsive, which made it a joy to play through. Cons: ❌ A Bit Too Easy (At Least Solo): I didn’t feel very challenged, especially playing alone. It could’ve used a little more difficulty to really hook me in. ❌ Pretty Short Overall: The game doesn’t take long to beat, and even though levels are reused, it felt over before I wanted it to be. ❌ Some Charact…1 found this helpful
Want to relive the days of 16-bit classics ? Then read on. Kemono Heroes (KH) looks and plays just like most of the megadrive and SNES games you may have already played, run, jump, dash, shoot, slash and so on, what makes KH a bit different is its up to 4 players local co-op, either on keys or gamepad, something that wasn't that common back in the 16-bit days. For the purpose of this review, I only played single player. You start off by selecting a hero from a choice of different animals, Fox, Monkey and a few others, they each have their own unique style and special skills, its not long before you're straight into the action, jumping platforms, slashing enemies, collecting, good old fashion retro fun. Platforming is fairly straightforward, you eventually unlock a grappling hook which again is simple to use, think bionic commando and you wouldn't be far wrong. The game may start off fairly easy but soon the difficulty ramps up with lots of tricky traps, loads of enemies to kill or dodge, while also avoiding the traps, fortunately you have a health bar and even falling into fire doesn't kill you, something that wasn't common with the 16-bit days, it was often one hit or fall of…
