This game is super charming and oozes personality. The level design and platforming feel like they take a backseat to the rest of the game at times, which can make for a few monotonous sections that leave you wishing you could just skip to the next story beat. The lack of much enemy variety doesn't help with this. But that being said, the rest of the game has so much to offer that it's worth looking past those few rough edges.

The story is very straightforward, but incredibly effective. They take such a simple premise and go absolutely crazy with it, with an incredibly creative and fun final act leaving the game on a high note. I'm really surprised I hadn't heard anything about this before playing, my only impression being the character designs that made me want to check it out when I got it in a Humble Choice. The longer I played it, the more confused I was that I hadn't heard about this game sooner.

The game draws many obvious similarities to the likes of Undertale and the Paper Mario series, but I think it stands very well on its own. If you're a fan of either of those, you should absolutely give Underhero a try. It's very close to being something really special.
