Critic Reviews for 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.
There's a lot to like about Big Helmet Heroes, it's a delightfully silly and fun side-scrolling beat 'em up, but substantial patches are required to fix the game before contemplating a purchase.
Big Helmet Heroes is a really fun game with a cool cartoon style. The action never lets up as you are either going to be involved in imaginative fights or undergoing puzzling platform trials. The game can prove to be quite the challenge on harder difficulties and playing with a buddy definitely proves to be more enjoyable and successful during strenuous moments.
What Big Helmet Heroes lacks in depth, it makes up for tenfold in charm
As someone who’s spent years playing both indie gems and AAA titles, I can confidently say that Big Helmet Heroes offers something special. It’s a game that doesn’t try to be overly ambitious but excels in what it sets out to do: provide a fun, engaging, and memorable experience. With its dynamic combat system, co-op gameplay, and charming visuals, Big Helmet Heroes is shaping up to be a standout title for 2025. While it may not appeal to players seeking a deeply narrative-driven experience, it more than makes up for it with its creativity and humor.
Big Helmet Heroes is a charming little cooperative beat ’em up that’ll be a delight to smaller family members and parents alike. A lack of unique objectives throughout most of the stages might be a bit of a bore and visibility issues can sometimes frustrate, but there’s enough here for an amusing local coop experience. ∎
I love an entertaining and fun beat’em up, something where you can control the pace, has enjoyable combat with some fun enemy and weapon variety. Big Helmet Heroes touches on all those things. The funny moments in the gameplay and cutscenes, to replaying levels to try to unlock the knight I missed, it’s all here. Not to mention the subtle yet amazing easter eggs.
Although "Big Helmet Heroes" offers casual action with a nice look from the first minute, it lacks any depth. The story is thin and the gameplay is very shallow. You can have a bit of fun, especially in co-op, but the battles are mostly limited to simply pressing buttons in the hope that you don't lose sight of yourself and your opponents.
