Authore: CalebUpdate:Mar 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 rival students to save the day! In the anime-styled retro brawler, School Hero, that's exactly what you'll be doing.

As the titular Hero (yes, really), you'll embark on a side-scrolling 2D brawl to rescue your girlfriend from a rival school. Expect to face off against a diverse cast of characters, from nerds and football players to cheerleaders—a veritable who's who of high school stereotypes.

While School Hero treads familiar ground, it offers plenty of variety. Expect diverse levels, a wide range of enemies, and a collection of minigames to provide a break from the relentless brawling.
