Big Helmet Heroes

Big Helmet Heroes doesn't reinvent the wheel, but manages to highlight what makes a beat 'em up adventure so fun to play.

The beautiful graphics, subject matter and humour might make it a good choice for a younger audience, which one can easily see makes sense.

Big Helmet Heroes offers a lighthearted take on medieval combat, blending humor with accessible gameplay, though it may lack depth for hardcore enthusiasts.

There's a lot of diversity throughout the arcade fighter Big Helmet Heroes, and it's really easy to pick up and get better at. While it may not be everyone's cup of tea, if you like side-scrolling beat-'em-ups, I would definitely recommend it for single and two-player co-op fun.

Big Helmet Heroes offers a straightforward gameplay experience suitable for young players new to the genre. The game features a weapon system that allows players to experiment with different fighting styles and classes while maintaining their preferred character. The game's aesthetic is designed to appeal to children, and the visual gags offer mild amusement. Older gamers won't connect with this, but newcomers will welcome the presentation and simplicity, without getting bogged down in any grind.

Overall, it’s a fun game, especially if you have someone you can play with! Hopefully, the implementation of online co-op will be coming sooner rather than later to have an easier time teaming up with other warriors.

Big Helmet Heroes is a silly game, but that’s by design, which makes it not only silly but a ton of fun, too.

Big Helmet Heroes has big, colourful visuals and a soundtrack to match, but the lack of any online aspect or four -player modes may be a shame to some. It’s a very good looking and sounding adventure with enough humour to keep things light, but it doesn’t quite have the wow factor to hold off the more tedious gameplay aspects of the side-scrolling brawler genre in the long run. Although for short blasts of mindless fun, I tip my helmet to it.

Big Helmet Heroes is a fun, solo or couch-coop game that is played with friends or family.

This whimsical romp through ridiculous scenarios with a cast of crazy characters is an excellent outing in levity and enjoyment. Whilst brief, there is tonnes of replayability to be found in either finding all the characters or exploring the harder modes. The plot is as chaotic as the gameplay but Big Helmet Heroes leans into this and pulls it off gloriously. For a price point around $30 AU it’s very hard to go past this, especially if you have a gaming buddy, this could provide way more than just the 4-6 hours of fun I experienced. All in all, if you love fun and have an enlarged noggin then this game is for you!
