High school can be a stressful experience for nearly everyone involved. However, you don't have to literally fight your way through school, unlike the protagonist in the anime-inspired retro brawler, School Hero!
School Hero is a classic side-scrolling beat 'em up game where you step into the shoes of a character aptly named Hero, who embarks on a mission to rescue his girlfriend from a rival school. As you progress, you'll encounter and battle a diverse array of opponents, from nerds to football players and even cheerleaders, all standing in your way.
While School Hero may tread familiar ground within the beat 'em up genre, it distinguishes itself with a variety of levels and enemies, ensuring that the gameplay remains fresh and engaging. Additionally, the game spices things up with a range of minigames that provide a welcome break from the constant brawling.
