Target Acquired: Unruly Heroes

Unruly Heroes, from Magic Design Studios (game site), is an action-platformer for a single player, or up to four players via local co-op, inspired by the famous Journey to the West, which has been loosely used as the basis for numerous video games in the past, including Capcom's SonSon and Ninja Theory's Enslaved: Odyssey to the West. The game features four (unruly) heroes dashing through beautifully detailed platforming environments and engaging colorful enemies and bosses in melee combat, and each of the characters has different movement and fighting skills, which are emphasized through fluid animations. Players can go it alone, swapping between characters to make use of their special abilities, or team up for 4P cooperative combat.

The game is now available for PC via Steam, Switch via eShop, and Xbox One via Microsoft Store, and is also planned for release on PS4. Check our coverage here.
