Take on Hordes of Enemy Classmates in School Hero, a New Beat 'Em Up

School Hero, a new Android beat 'em up from indie developer Gkoros Polychronis, bursts onto the scene with vibrant, comic-book-style visuals and surprisingly engaging gameplay. It's a fun, straightforward title that delivers on its promise of entertainment.

What is School Hero?

Play as "Hero"—yes, that's his name—a schoolboy with surprising fighting prowess and a good heart. The story follows a classic "save the girl" trope: you're the new kid in school, and your girlfriend has been kidnapped by a shadowy group.

As you progress, leveling up through punches, kicks, and dramatic cutscenes, you'll uncover dark secrets hidden within the school's corridors. Gameplay is solid for a beat 'em up; you can grab and throw enemies, and utilize various environmental weapons.

Boss battles require learning attack patterns and finding openings, adding a satisfying challenge reminiscent of classic beat 'em ups. The team captain boss fight is a particular standout.

School Hero also features fun extras, including unlockable pets to aid in combat. A convenient in-game shop offers 1-ups, XP boosts, and health items, ensuring you're never too far from a comeback.

Different Game Modes

Choose your adventure with multiple game modes: Story Mode for the narrative experience, Arcade Mode for nostalgic chaos, and Survival Mode for a test of endurance.

School Hero blends charming pixel art with anime-style cutscenes and colorful backgrounds. It also boasts fully integrated controller support via Bluetooth and USB. Find it now on the Google Play Store.
