School Hero takes you to the mean streets of Japanese high school to rescue your girlfriend

By DylanMar 16,2025

School Hero is a classic-style, side-scrolling beat 'em up where you brawl your way to victory against hordes of enemy students. Enjoy minigames, challenging difficulty levels, and more!

High school can be stressful, but at least you don't usually have to punch your way through hordes of students to save the day. In the anime-styled retro brawler, School Hero, that's exactly what you'll be doing!

School Hero is a straightforward 2D side-scrolling brawler. Play as Hero (yes, really) and rescue your girlfriend from a rival school. Your journey will involve beating up nerds, football players, cheerleaders—the whole student body, really!

While it treads familiar ground, School Hero offers variety. Expect diverse levels and enemies—a definite plus in the beat 'em up genre—along with a collection of minigames to offer a change of pace from the brawling.

School Hero is a fun pastiche of the beat 'em up genre, featuring stereotypical anime visuals and attacks. But that's not a bad thing! The adaptable gameplay, storyline, and extra features seem promising.

And yes, it has controller support.
