Massive Helmet Heroes is a 3D beat-’em-up the place you (and a good friend) play as one in all many knights making an attempt to save lots of the princess! This recreation was clearly impressed by Fort Crashers, developed by The Behemoth. Enjoying Massive Helmet Heroes was a blast in each single-player and co-op, so let’s discuss it.
Beginning the sport, you get to decide on between three difficulties: Simple, Medium, and Onerous. 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 suppose there’s a greater option to begin a recreation like this, and it leaves you with all of the supplies to enhance.
Shifting to the characters, there are 28 characters in complete, break up into 4 completely different fight sorts: Warrior, Brute, Rouge, and Monk. The Warrior makes use of a sword and defend, the Brute makes use of a two-handed heavy weapon, the Rouge makes use of two daggers, and the Monk makes use of a employees. Every of the 4 combatants has completely different taking part in kinds to study and completely different heavy assaults and dashes, making every distinctive.
Each character has their very own particular capability, too, which aligns with their identify. These talents vary from simply OK to utterly 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 think about this an issue, however I do suppose it removes a number of the pleasure of getting new characters that look cool if you understand they’re simply flat-out worse than who you had been utilizing earlier than.
The gameplay is straightforward, however enjoyable. In every degree, you’ll run round defeating enemies, utilizing something yow will discover to assist. Theres a plethora of enjoyable and fascinating weapons you may decide 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 can be mini video games to play, bosses to combat, waves to defend, secrets and techniques to find, and characters to unlock. Each degree is completely different, and although some are much more tough than others, it nonetheless makes for an important expertise.
The one actual drawback I’ve had is that some unlockable characters are somewhat too effectively hidden, to the purpose the place I’ve spent hours in search of a single character and nonetheless not discovered it.
The fight in Massive Helmet Heroes is reasonably difficult however simple to study. The enemies get tougher with every space, nevertheless it’s not exponentially harder. There’s a large range of enemies and minibosses, every representing the areas that they’re in. From goblins to cardboard pirates to mummies, each space feels distinctive and completely different from the final.
The sport seems wonderful. From the 3D fight characters to their 2D participant card when choosing them within the menu to the fantastic degree design with every kind of secrets and techniques hidden all through, Massive Helmet Heroes is simply, merely put, astounding. The animations are very crisp. The one unhealthy factor is that a number of enemies and gadgets clip by way of partitions. Generally, it’s not very noticeable. Different occasions, it’s extraordinarily clear that it’s taking place.
The audio and music are fairly good, as effectively. There are a number 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 strains up with every space and what’s happening round you, nevertheless it stays the identical all through your entire degree (excluding some small segments and boss fights). It sounds good, nevertheless it simply will get repetitive after a little bit of taking part in.
Massive Helmet Heroes was a blast to play by way of, and although it has its small bugs and points, I nonetheless suppose it’s a beautiful 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.
