School Hero takes you to the mean streets of Japanese high school to rescue your girlfriend

School Hero: A Retro Beat 'Em Up with Anime Flair

School Hero is a classic-style, side-scrolling beat 'em up where you brawl your way through hordes of enemy students to achieve victory. The game features minigames and multiple difficulty levels to add to the challenge.

High school stress? Forget it! In School Hero, you'll tackle a far more pressing issue: rescuing your girlfriend from a rival school by punching and pummeling your way through a diverse cast of student enemies – from nerds and football players to cheerleaders.

While School Hero treads familiar ground, it offers several appealing features. Expect a variety of levels and enemies, a staple of the beat 'em up genre, and a collection of minigames to provide a change of pace from the intense brawling.

The game is a clear homage to the beat 'em up genre, incorporating anime-inspired visuals and attacks. However, this homage isn't a drawback; the game appears to offer engaging gameplay, a compelling storyline, and bonus features to keep players entertained.

And yes, controller support is included.
