How Long Is Underhero?
A lot more content then I thought it would have
This review is for the Nintendo Switch version
Platform played on: Switch
Price: 16.99$
Playtime: 14h 21m
Overall Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The game underhero starts with you playing a lv 99 hero at the door to the final boss, who is somehow killed accidentally by chandelier. The pov is swapped to the minion who pulled the lever, their appearence is similar to a shyguy (as seen in art above). The boss is alerted that the hero was killed, the boss then tasks you with returning the magical stones to their respective mini bosses, I cannot explain any further or talk much more about the game without going into spoilers however this game is alot more then it seems and honestly a really fun adventure with tons of puzzles, platforming, and twists you might or might not expect.
Some tips: Going with a full stamina build is probably the best bet, never get health from level up ability because you can find more then enough heath upgrades throughout the map and store.
Buy all item upgrades first then amount of potions upgrades, also the potion and sheild refil from shop are always worth it.
Don't buy anything from pedlers unless needed.
Always pay for save stations.
All attacks …

All attacks can be dodged by ducking or jumping so there is no point to blocking and wasting sheild durability, however parries are great in everything besides boss fights and dont use durability.
isabelp_97's review of Underhero
This review is for the Nintendo Switch version
Overall, I was so impressed with this game and found it to be a fun and unique take on the genre! I was really surprised to find myself enjoying this game since I don’t typical go for this style of combat in games. It was really fun to figure out the patterns of each enemy you faced in the active turn based stand offs and it felt more like a puzzle than button mashing which I appreciated. The story was also surprisingly filled with twists and the humor had me chuckling every once in a while. But the very final boss fight felt very annoying and frustrating. It introduced a mechanic that you never used before and it was just confusing and aggravating to try to master a new, tedious skill for just one fight at the end of the game. However, since I enjoyed the entire rest of the game I still think this was a good experience overall.
