A whimsical, story-driven sidescroller with timed-action combat and quirky humor, where you play as a villain's underling thrust into the hero's role.

What players say
Players are split on Underhero. Many praise the story, characters, and twist on turn-based combat, but complaints about janky controls, unfair difficulty, and technical issues like broken 4K resolution are common. The platforming and stamina system also draw criticism.
