I Am the Hero is a retro beat’em up fighting game that tells the story of a hero with a fantastic but mysterious past. Is he the hero he thinks he is?

Or does his past hide secrets that can not bear the light of day?

Although an exact release date is currently out, the game should appear on the Switch later this year.

The game has a very distinctive retro style that we personally are not completely out of if we actually like it yet, sometimes we find it awesome and sometimes very empty in terms of environments. What do you think?
