Kemono Heroes es un juego que lejos de querer emular a un buen arcade de la época creo que realmente intenta serlo y sinceramente creo que eso tiene mucho mérito. Porque intentar imitar “algo” es bastante sencillo pero serlo de verdad es algo que a día de hoy es algo bastante inusual y, digámoslo claramente, digno de elogio.

Kemono Heroes from developer Mad Gear Games and publisher JanduSoft is a fun action beat ‘em up that keeps the gameplay simple, delivers creative enemies and levels, and throws some good boss fights into the experience. While the upgrades are a bit restrictive with their progression, the game offers far more fun than not.

Kemono Heroes may not be that challenging, but that’s because the hardest part is working together with the friends you made along the way. The only problem you’ll have is that you’ll wish it lasted longer. Kemono Heroes was reviewed on a Nintendo Switch using a code provided by JanduSoft.

Kemono Heroes doesn’t innovate, stand out, or provide a memorable experience, but at the same time, it had no single serious flaw I could think of. Its visuals are decent, its soundtrack is great, its controls are very responsive, and I really enjoyed its difficulty curve and progression system. It’s a very safe game that does everything it aimed to do pretty well. When I stop to think about it, I see no reason why I shouldn’t recommend this title to Switch owners. A cute, side-scrolling indie platformer with local co-op is basically what the console was made for.
