High school may be a challenging and tense time for most people. However, consider this: unlike in the anime-style retro brawler game School Hero, where you have to fight off hordes of enemy students to save the day, real life doesn’t require physical combat to get through it.

In essence, School Hero appears rather typical at first sight. This 2D side-scrolling fighting game places you in control of the protagonist, a character named Hero, as he embarks on a mission to save his girlfriend from an opposing school. Throughout his journey, he encounters and defeats various characters ranging from bookworms to jocks, cheerleaders and many others, all in pursuit of her rescue.

Indeed, although School Hero seems somewhat familiar as it treads on ground that’s now quite common, it does possess certain appealing aspects. For instance, it appears to offer a wide range of levels and opponents, which is always beneficial in the beat ’em up genre. Furthermore, it offers a collection of mini-games to provide variety during your combat sessions.

Absolutely, School Hero seems to be a blend of the beat-’em-up game style, incorporating typical anime-inspired landscapes and moves. However, this isn’t necessarily a drawback, and upon first look, it appears to offer a versatile gameplay experience and narrative, along with these distinctive features, which could make it engaging for players.

Oh, and there’s controller support too, before you ask.
