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. But beyond the eye-catching art lies a genuinely fun and engaging gameplay experience.

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" narrative: you're the new kid in school, and a shadowy group kidnaps your girlfriend. Your quest? Punch, kick, and brawl your way to rescue her, uncovering dark secrets hidden within the school's corridors along the way.

Gameplay is solid beat 'em up fare. You'll grapple, throw, and utilize environmental weapons to pummel your foes. Boss battles introduce strategic depth, demanding you learn attack patterns and exploit openings for victory—a classic beat 'em up thrill. The team captain boss fight is a particular standout.

Beyond the core combat, School Hero offers enjoyable extras. Unlock helpful pets to aid in battle, and visit the in-game shop to stock up on power-ups, XP boosts, and health packs, ensuring you're always ready for a comeback.

Different Game Modes

Choose your adventure with multiple game modes: a story mode for narrative-driven action, an arcade mode for nostalgic beat 'em up mayhem, and a survival mode to test your endurance and fighting skills.

School Hero blends charming pixel art with anime-style cutscenes and colorful backgrounds. It also features full controller support via Bluetooth and USB. Ready to dive in? Find School Hero on the Google Play Store.
