\"\"<\/a>Sometimes less is more, and that\u2019s the case with Flat Heroes.\u00a0 It\u2019s a simple arcade game where you are a square and must survive single screen rooms with obstacles represented by flat shapes.\u00a0 Like any great classic arcade game, it\u2019s easy to learn but hard to master.\u00a0 The game is available to download on Switch and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.<\/p>\n

The main single player mode is the Campaign mode.\u00a0 There are ten worlds with over ten stages each!\u00a0 Your square can jump, dash in the air, and cling to walls kind of like Mega Man X.\u00a0 You must use those moves to avoid projectiles, homing mines, lasers, and much more.\u00a0 If you can survive the waves of attacks and onslaughts, you\u2019ll pass the level.\u00a0 Usually the gauntlet only lasts less than a minute.\u00a0 The cool thing is that four players can play at the same time, and as long as one person survives, everyone can go onto the next level.\u00a0 By completing worlds, you can unlock things like different color palettes and new modes!<\/p>\n

Another mode is Survival, but I haven\u2019t unlocked it yet.\u00a0 The game is so hard that by the time I would unlock it, it would be several months from now and that wouldn\u2019t be good for a review.\u00a0 There are also multiplayer Versus modes for two to four players.\u00a0 These modes include Zones, Battle, Runner, and Catch.\u00a0 But the only one I can unlock right now is Zones.\u00a0 You must stay in a circle as long as you can, and whoever stays in the circles longest, wins the match.<\/p>\n

Really the only problem I have with the game is that it\u2019s very hard to unlock everything.\u00a0 The play control is solid and even though it\u2019s hard, it\u2019s fun in a challenging way.\u00a0 My brother, who played some of the modes with me, said it was even kind of relaxing in a way.\u00a0 So while it may not look like much, this is a fun simple little game.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nothing too violent or objectionable here.\u00a0 If your square gets hit by anything, it just explodes into little squares.\u00a0 Reading skill is helpful for some of the menus, but not necessary just to play.\u00a0 Younger players may get frustrated at the high difficulty, though.\u00a0 Flat Heroes is rated E for Everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
