Daniel writes: "In a world where every video game idolises the hero, a villain stands up and says “enough is enough!”. Underhero is a playful take on stereotypical conventions that have plagued many gaming genres for years. Developer Paper Castle may miss the mark occasionally, but Underhero on Xbox One is an inventive take on classic gaming tropes."
Will Heath was able to play the wonderful Underhero and wrote a lovely review. Learn more about this excellent platforming JRPG.
XBA says: You'll definitely want to bet on the Underhero, as this one defies the normal tropes.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "The freshman effort from Venezuelan developer Paper Castle Games, Underhero is a platforming RPG-lite that serves as a suitable substitute for Paper Mario, absent now for four years. With a cast of colorful characters, an accessible and fun battle system, and a quirky, subversive narrative, it should speak most powerfully to fans of Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi. Due to some faults—unrefined platforming, excessive backtracking, and mediocre visuals—the game doesn't reach the lofty heights of its spiritual predecessors, but overall it's a serviceable, approachable role-playing game."
