School Hero: New Beat 'Em Up Game Battles Classmates

School Hero, a new Android beat 'em up from indie developer Gkoros Polychronis, bursts onto the scene with vibrant, comic-book-style visuals. But beneath the surface lies a surprisingly fun and engaging gameplay experience.

What is School Hero?

Play as "Hero"—yes, that's his name—a schoolboy with surprisingly powerful fists and a noble heart. The story follows a classic "save the girl" narrative: you're the new kid in school, and your girlfriend has been kidnapped by a shadowy organization.

As you level up, dishing out punches, kicks, and the occasional well-timed dramatic cutscene, you'll uncover dark secrets hidden within the school's corridors. The gameplay is solid beat 'em up fare, allowing you to grab, throw, and utilize environmental weapons.

Boss battles demand careful observation of attack patterns and strategic openings, delivering that classic beat 'em up thrill. The team captain boss fight is a particular highlight.

School Hero also offers a range of fun extras. Unlock helpful pets to aid you in battle, and visit the in-game shop to stock up on 1-ups, XP boosts, and health packs for those crucial comebacks.

Different Game Modes

Choose your adventure! Play through the dramatic story mode, unleash nostalgic chaos in arcade mode, or test your mettle in a challenging survival mode to see how long you can last.

School Hero blends charming pixel art with anime-style cutscenes and colorful backgrounds. The game also features fully integrated controller support via Bluetooth and USB. Find School Hero now on the Google Play Store.
