Despite its unique concept and quirky humor, it feels like a game best used to pass the time.
Ultimately 88 Heroes is a title that lives and dies by its humor, and that statement has meaning on several levels. It isn’t only that many of the heroes aren’t very useful, a compounding problem is that since almost all of them are unique in some way as a player you often have very little basis for how this character “works”. There’s no real opportunity...
88 Heroes is a game that puts referential humor over bland platforming and little else.
88 Heroes it's a good game that delivers a lot of fun without much asking for much dedication or tries to do too much, even though it's main novelty loses it's appeal early on. There isn't much more to expect from it other than a solid and competent platformer, making it's experience worth.
