Critic Reviews for Kemono Heroes
Kemono Heroes from developer Mad Gear Games and publisher JanduSoft is a fun action beat ‘em up that keeps the gameplay simple, delivers creative enemies and levels, and throws some good boss fights into the experience. While the upgrades are a bit restrictive with their progression, the game offers far more fun than not.
Kemono Heroes may not be that challenging, but that’s because the hardest part is working together with the friends you made along the way. The only problem you’ll have is that you’ll wish it lasted longer.
Kemono Heroes is a great side-scrolling, hack 'n slash title with multiplayer that feels like it's from the arcade, but only one save slot makes things hard.
A fun old-school-inspired run 'n' gun arcade-style experience set in a fantasy world
Kemono Heroes made me reminisce of trying to finish challenging Super NES games cooperatively with friends. In other words, it's an authentically retro experience that's sure to entertain a couch full of chums and you can't go wrong with that.
Kemono Heroes is a very short but satisfying experience. With a creative visual design, a simple but effective progression system and a second run that reinvents the stages, the game manages to deliver a fun and challenging journey.

Playing this was a bit odd for me, as in many ways it feels like a game I somehow played before in the SNES era but I can't quite put a finger on its name...
In the end, Kemono Heroes was a decent experience, if not a particularly interesting one. Priced at $14.99, it will serve as a nice tie over experience for platformer fans, due to being a roughly one to two hour adventure. With multiple characters and achievements, the game’s replay value might sate a player for a couple more runs. Hopefully Mad Gear Games can take this and craft something extraordinary, as there is a good framework to build upon.
