Big Helmet Heroes Reviews
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.
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 is enjoyable solo or with a friend. Its wacky weapon variety and ever changing setting keeps things interesting when the gameplay begins to wear a bit thin. The 28 different discoverable heroes offer a reason to playthrough multiple times, unfortunately its technical issues may make it a one and done adventure.
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.
Big Helmet Heroes is a very safe choice for young gamers who are new to the genre that won’t overwhelm them with complex mechanics. Being able to pick up weapons allows flexibility to mix and match fighting styles with different classes on the fly while still playing as your favorite character. The toy-like aesthetic will certainly please kids.

Whilst initially having the potential for epic battles, Big Helmet Heroes swings for greatness with its fun concept and co-operative gameplay, but bugs and frustrations turns victory hits into misses.
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 is a fun, solo or couch-coop game that is played with friends or family.
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.
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!
Big Helmet Heroes is a light and fun experience from start to finish. Whether playing alone or with a friend in co-op, fun is guaranteed without the game ever becoming overly complicated. For these reasons and the "unidirectional" experience, it's probably not a game that will stay on our consoles for long. The depth, longevity, and mechanical variety are not enough for long play sessions. Stage diversification is notable, but combat might not be particularly engaging for more experienced players, nor is there a particularly deep progression and customization system. For younger players or those looking for a quick and fleeting experience, this game is almost a must-buy at a reasonable price.

Big Helmet Heroes is a fun, well-crafted beat ‘em up with tons of personality. Its engaging combat, varied heroes, and stunning visuals make it a joy to play, and the imaginative levels and hilarious weapon choices add to its charm. However, it’s held back by its disappointing co-op implementation, frustrating performance issues, and frequent bugs—particularly on Xbox. If Exalted Studio can iron out these technical issues and maybe even add online multiplayer, this game could easily become a standout in the genre. But as it stands now, it’s a diamond in the rough—polished in some areas, but frustratingly unrefined in others.
