Huge Helmet Heroes is a 3D beat-’em-up the place you (and a good friend) play as certainly one of many knights making an attempt to save lots of the princess! This recreation was clearly impressed by Fortress Crashers, developed by The Behemoth. Enjoying Huge Helmet Heroes was a blast in each single-player and co-op, so let’s speak about it.
Beginning the sport, you get to decide on between three difficulties: Simple, Medium, and Arduous. When you’ve chosen that, you’ll get thrown proper into the sport. You begin out with one character: Sheperd (or, in case you’re beginning with two gamers, you’ll even have Thunder). The primary degree is a tutorial degree, displaying you each final little bit of what you are able to do. I don’t assume there’s a greater strategy to begin a recreation like this, and it leaves you with all of the supplies to enhance.
Transferring to the characters, there are 28 characters in complete, cut up into 4 totally different fight varieties: Warrior, Brute, Rouge, and Monk. The Warrior makes use of a sword and protect, the Brute makes use of a two-handed heavy weapon, the Rouge makes use of two daggers, and the Monk makes use of a workers. Every of the 4 combatants has totally different taking part in kinds to study and totally different heavy assaults and dashes, making every distinctive.
Each character has their very own particular means, too, which aligns with their title. These talents vary from simply OK to completely wonderful. Whereas I feel all of them cool and distinctive, some heroes are simply flat-out higher than others solely due to their particular talents. I don’t contemplate this an issue, however I do assume it removes among the pleasure of getting new characters that look cool if you understand they’re simply flat-out worse than who you have been utilizing earlier than.
The gameplay is easy, however enjoyable. In every degree, you’ll run round defeating enemies, utilizing something you could find to assist. Theres a plethora of enjoyable and attention-grabbing weapons you possibly can choose up all through every degree that may be an enormous assist in every run, wether or not it’s a crossbow, a pair of plungers, or perhaps a broom! All through the extent, there will probably be mini video games to play, bosses to battle, waves to defend, secrets and techniques to find, and characters to unlock. Each degree is totally different, and although some are so much tougher than others, it nonetheless makes for an awesome expertise.
The one actual downside I’ve had is that some unlockable characters are just a little too effectively hidden, to the purpose the place I’ve spent hours searching for a single character and nonetheless not discovered it.
The fight in Huge Helmet Heroes is reasonably difficult however straightforward to study. The enemies get tougher with every space, however it’s not exponentially tougher. There’s a large variety of enemies and minibosses, every representing the areas that they’re in. From goblins to cardboard pirates to mummies, each space feels distinctive and totally different from the final.
The sport seems to be wonderful. From the 3D fight characters to their 2D participant card when choosing them within the menu to the fantastic degree design with all types of secrets and techniques hidden all through, Huge Helmet Heroes is simply, merely put, astounding. The animations are very crisp. The one unhealthy factor is that lots of enemies and objects clip by partitions. Generally, it’s not very noticeable. Different instances, it’s extraordinarily clear that it’s occurring.
The audio and music are fairly good, as effectively. There are lots of sound results on this recreation, most of which work extraordinarily effectively and sound nice. A pair, nonetheless, do get repetitive. The music is sort of in the identical boat; it traces up with every space and what’s happening round you, however it stays the identical all through all the degree (excluding some small segments and boss fights). It sounds good, however it simply will get repetitive after a little bit of taking part in.
Huge Helmet Heroes was a blast to play by, and although it has its small bugs and points, I nonetheless assume it’s an exquisite recreation. From the character and degree design to the music and gameplay, it’s extraordinarily enjoyable, and it’s even higher with a good friend.
