We wanted to honor classic beat’em ups while adding our own touch: energy, fun, and lots of love. We hope you’ll have as much fun playing it as we had creating it!”
Playable solo or with up to 2 friends locally, whether outdoors or at home, the game offers 29 unique characters to discover and rescue across whimsical levels inspired by childhood fantasies (Knights, Pirates, Mummies, and even Metal Unicorns!), Big Helmet Heroes brings a fresh twist to the 3D beat'em up genre. The game features a broad range of characters carefully created, each one with their own personality and superpowers, as you face off against evil forces using swords, axes, clubs, crossbows, electric fly swatters, and even laser guns!
Big Helmet Heroes offers an engaging yet accessible challenge for all audiences. Battle through waves of mischievous villains—including bosses— and, from time to time, even against your partner with an unfortunate push into a precipice! Exalted Studio has poured its heart into this chivalrous adventure to rescue the Princess (who may not be as helpless as she seems...).
