[h1]VIDEO REVIEW[/h1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YFeUp9Zkrc&feature=youtu.be [h1]No Nonsense Review[/h1] Zheros is a generically beautiful Sci-fi brawler that is only really exciting when there are two players on the sticks. If you play it solo it’ll feel more like a tech demo than an actual game. [h1]Basic Game Review[/h1] [h1]OVERVIEW[/h1] Zheros is a game starring a Macho Man and a lithe and flexible Female as they beat-up the robots of an evil genius. The story is told through small cutscenes that completely lack voiceover. There isn’t much to the story besides these two people that want to beat the crap out of a villain… so no worries there. [h1]VISUALS[/h1] Zheros contains some fantastic graphics with a Science Fiction backdrop. What you can expect is a beautiful brawler with fast and responsive combat. The combat is all about punching and kicking various robots in the face with a variety of combo strings and air juggles. Increasing talents will unlock more elaborate combos to perform on the various enemy types in the game. The backgrounds are dominated by constant moving parts like a rich Sci-fi skyline. The combat in the foreground tends to be a bit too moderate in comparison. When playing alone the characters tend to face off against a small amount of opponents in short waves. The robots take a lot longer to dispatch and the combat becomes tiresome even after only an hour of play. [h1]GAMEPLAY[/h1] When playing solo, the enemies lack the aggression we’re used to in older more rambunctious 2D brawlers. Once another player has stepped up to bat, the game changes to a hectic brawl of life and death. Players will be on their toes constantly as they face endless waves of enemies. The combat bumps up significantly with two-players and it’s usually a battle of attrition to try and survive. It’s much more thrilling to play cooperatively as the enemies tend to keep the players on their toes. I have two things I don’t like about cooperative play. First, it’s only local-coop and since this is the best way to play the game… it’s a strange omission. Secondly, the only way to obtain talent points is to pit the players against each other. The player with the highest score earns the most RP and the player with the lowest score earns none. This stops the second player from earning skills to increase their combos and damage, which in turn makes that player weaker in the long term. This is counterintuitive to a cooperative style of play and is damaging to them team dynamic. [h1]CONCLUSION[/h1] In conclusion. The solo game is all about short bursts of combat in rather boring environments that don’t look much different from the last. However, once two players are involved in the brawl the background disappears among the waves of enemies trying to destroy you. To be honest, Zheros is a game that can only truly be played cooperatively. Playing this game solo is a bore, but with two players you’re in for a slightly interesting experience. Since the game is local play only though, I’d wait for a sale unless you have a friend that’s always on hand. *This game was provided to us by the developer*

ZHEROS from Rimlight Studios. About: -------- This is a really funny two player co-op beat 'em up videogame. THe game is devided over 2 worlds where you try to stop Dr. Vendetta and his Evil Robot Army who is try's to take over the univers. ZHEROS is a team of two characters who you can choose from try to stop him !!! Gameplay & Controls: ------------------------ This is one of the better Beat 'em Up Games but not the best. Find ir a shame you only have 2 characters to choose from. So in co-op mode there is not much to choose. Characters respond very whell to the controlls and inputting a combo is userfriendly. So easy to pickup an play video game. Both characters come with a gigantic list of moves only downside is you NEED to unlock these with points you earn in every stage you play so you are stuck with a few basic combo's in the beginning of the game. Skill tree is here and it's little as f*ck if you ask me. There are not many upgrade made possible. For example Strenght, Shield and Life one of the few you can choose. And you need a lot of skill points to collect if you want to upgrade. You wil be attackt allways more than 1 character and that can be really annoying when you play alone. If you try to beat a enemie most of the time other one is shooting you from behind. From some practice you can try to block some with with you shield still I founded this is not eneugh. Graphics & Sounds: ---------------------- They naild both the Graphic as Sound part. Game comes with a wicked dubstep soundtrack that made me fal lin lvoe with the game. And wanted me to play this game. Game looks really great on 1080p resolution with a cartoony touch to it. Overall: --------- It'a fun game to play alone or with a buddy. Game feels little incomplete because of the 2 characters and basic upgrades. It's a good game I hope the Dev's will add more stuff so gives the game a complete feeling. I give this game a 7.5 / 10 score.
Zheros è uno un beat-em up ben realizzato e di produzione tutta italiana, che sebbene possa risultare semplice e scorrevole a difficoltà semplice, riesce a dare del filo da torcere anche a chi di questo genere di giochi ne divora, se si decide di alzare l'asticella della difficoltà. Per quanto riguarda la mia esperienza col gioco, posso dire di non aver incontrato alcun bug, cosa che a quanto leggo dalle altre recensioni invece molti hanno potuto riscontrare, a questo punto credo si tratti più semplicemente di culo, in quanto non ho avuto problemi ne di glitch ma nemmeno di input lag, magari sono stati risolti con uno degli utlimi aggiornamenti. Lo stile del gioco è pulito e dalle prestazioni solide, le animazioni risultano simpatiche e lo stile cartoon riesce a rendere piacevole anche l'assenza totale del doppiaggio. Fortunatamente essendo una produzione italiana Zheros non ricade in quella categoria di giochi tradotti con google translate, fornendo una traduzione dei menù e delle impostazioni senza strafalcioni. Il gioco è composto da due mondi, composti da 18 livelli completabili in circa 10 minuti l'uno, cosa a mio parere non negativa se si rapporta alla purtroppo scarsa varietà delle ambientazioni. Il nostro personaggio lungo l'avanzare dei livelli potrà accumulare punti in grado di sbloccare diverse combo, circa 3 per ogni livello di abilità, che pur non essendo tantissime riescono a dare comunque la giusta frenesia e varietà ai combattimenti. Unico neo il finale aperto che relega la vera conclusione a un dlc, che pur aggiungendo livelli, nemici e un personaggio giocabile resta comunque un aggiunta da acquistare a parte. In conclusione per il suo prezzo di 9,99€ è un acquisto consigliato se si ama il genere o anche se si cerca un gioco per menare le mani senza troppi pensieri. Lo consiglio sopratutto a quelli che come me hanno un launcher esterno per i classici giochi Arcade da "Cabinato" per poter arricchire la propria collezione di giochi Arcade. Pro: - Animazioni e design pulito - Adatto a vari livelli di difficoltà Contro: - Ambientazioni poco varie - Il "vero" finale relegato a un dlc
[h1] ZHEROS – Análisis [/h1] [h1] Más que un machaca botones. [/h1] A primera vista resulta difícil no sentirse interesado por ZHEROS, debido a que presenta una jugabilidad dinámica y sencilla que se asemeja a los clásicos machaca botones que conocíamos de joyas pasadas. En ZHEROS, tendremos la oportunidad de adentrarnos a una aventura en solitario o en modo cooperativo local, gracias a su apuesta de brindar a los usuarios la selección de dos intrépidos personajes con los cuales salvar una galaxia de su inminente destrucción. Estos dos héroes intentan diferenciarse más allá de su género, apostando por el uso de diferentes combos y habilidades especiales. Sin embargo, estas desigualdades no dejan de ser demasiado “suave” y solamente aportan algo fresco, en la intensidad de movimientos. De modo que tenemos a Mike un personaje robusto que propicia potentes golpes, mientras que por otro lado esta Molly, una figura escuálida pero flexible con implacables y veloces ataques. Siguiendo la línea de sus habilidades encontraremos que junto a su arsenal, ambos personajes están dotados con una extensa cantidad de movimientos con los que mantener unos buenos combos cuando las cosas se ponen demasiado duras. Aunque para poder acceder a estos, como también a cualquier mejora en nuestro arsenal ofensivo y defensivo, será necesario adquirirlos por separado una vez finalizado cada nivel. Debido a que es en el único momento en el que podremos navegar por la “tienda de habilidades” lugar donde hallaremos una notable cantidad de elementos con los que mejorar el desempeño de nuestros ilustres agentes. Cabe destacar que para poder adquirir tales elementos es sumamente importante y necesario disponer de ciertas cantidad de medallas de reputación– obtenidas una vez finalizar cada nivel –. De esta forma mantener a raya a los robóticos enemigos será una tarea mucho más sencilla, aunque debido a su extensa variedad y lo volátil que se presentan en ocasiones, nos llevaran a replantear las formas de emprender un ataque. En otras palabras, deberemos usar todas nuestras habilidades para ajustarnos a los ataques enemigos. Un ejemplo claro es la utilización del escudo, para desviar y reflejar ataques o utilizar un enorme Mecha al más estilo de Transformers para apaciguar a los gigantes enemigos y detener su inminente avanzada. Aunque experimentaremos ciertas complicaciones debido a sus enemigos como también al plataformeo del que hace uso en sus limitados escenarios, ZHEROS intenta entregar una formula jugable sencilla, pero al mismo tiempo adictiva. Dado a que deja un cierto margen de error y conjuntamente busca que el jugador se aleje de utilizar solamente un combo o pulsar incesantemente dos botones. De manera que intenta incentivar la jugabilidad y hacerlo replantear sus movimientos, conocer todas las opciones posibles que están a su alcance y concluirlas de la manera más correcta y eficaz para poder crear cierto margen de aleatoriedad en su ejecución y con ello lograr redescubrir un mundo de posibilidades. [h1] En busca de un camino propio. [/h1] A modo de conclusión podríamos decir que ZHEROS, es una apuesta interesante para una producción indie. Presenta una jugabilidad bien planteada con una base sólida, un sistema de progresión que logra adaptarse al usuario y lo lleva a probar nuevas fórmulas. Seguramente lo más reprochable de este título, es la ausencia de innovación en sus escenarios, a pesar de que presentan un diseño sumamente notable con cierto grado de exploración. La puesta en escena llegara a tornarse sumamente repetitiva y la diferencia entre un nivel y otro será escasa. Si bien, es un Beat them up que no pretende revolucionar al género, presenta ideas frescas y las encapsula en una experiencia simple y tal vez demasiado accesible para el público en general. Aunque si por un momento sentimos cierta dificultad en avanzar podremos optar por su modo cooperativo local –a falta de un modo online– con el cual recorrer sus más de 15 escenarios será un viaje mas llevadero.

For a beat'em up, it's good for a mindless button smashing. The boss levels can frustrate you with no room for mistakes especially the DLC boss non-existent hit box and space for safety. Also frequent crashes here and there with a level getting stuck for progress. I would love to complete the game but it wouldn't let me.
This game is alot of fun and gets to be very fun to play. Has some pretty funny cutscenes and graphics are gorgeous. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmUtvYgmzxY My footage of the game. Please remember at the time the gameplay in the video is only running 30 but the game itself runs at 60. My software for recording was having problems so using OBS to record this was much more challenging for my system. Hope you enjoy my footage and please do think about picking up this game. It is really a blast to play!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JvaAAWrSHU A really fun game with incredibly satisfying combat and great graphics! The game does get sort of repetive pretty quickly but since the environment changes and new combat skills are unlocked it does not stay repetive for long.
A cool beat 'em up with nifty graphics and, as has been said already, captures that saturday morning cartoon feel. Two things bother me, though. The least annoying is the lack of voice acting. The most annoying is the music which is the kind of music ecstasy users stutter to at raves. Despite that Zheros is a lot of fun.
Full of bugs.Abandoned garbage.
