Episode One: Penal Colony Kidnapped by a unknown group of assailants, Claire and Moira awake to find themselves trapped on an isolated island infested with horrifying creatures beyond imagination. Ratalaika Games provided us with an I Am The Hero PS4/Vita code for review purposes.Resident Evil Revelations 2 Ps vita follows two interwoven stories of terror across 4 episodes of intense survival horror.
If, however, you?re already not predisposed towards the genre, I can?t imagine there?s anything here that would change your mind. To be sure, that means if you do pine for the days where Battletoads and its ilk were kings, I Am The Hero will scratch that particular itch. There?s not some crazy plot or something that?s going to hook you in. You beat up all the baddies in one section, then you move on to the next and beat up more of them. While combos have always been kind of a thing in beat-?em-ups, here they get taken to a whole new prominence.Īll that said, at the end of the day, I Am The Hero is still identifiably and undeniably a beat?-em-up. In fact, it places a huge priority on combos, with a big counter flashing on the screen as your hit totals get bigger and bigger. Whereas a lot of I Am The Hero?s forebears were content with just punching and kicking, this game throws in all kinds special moves and combos. On a related note, even though the titular hero looks vaguely pixelated, but making him and his surroundings 2.5D, they make that old art style seem kind of fresh and new again.įor another thing, the game draws heavily from the fighting game genre. For starters, the game is 2.5D rather than flat 2D - which may not sound like a huge change, but giving things a slightly different perspective does give it a different feeling. After all, it throws in a couple of twists here and there that, theoretically, make the game more interesting than its predecessors (or, at the very least, help differentiate it).
I?d like to say that I Am The Hero changes something about that. Battletoads, Double Dragon, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: I may have sunk countless hours into them when I was little, but never once in the last 25-30 years have I wanted to go back and play them again.
Even though I practically grew up playing beat-?em-ups, I can?t say I have any nostalgia for the genre whatsoever.
