About Underhero
Underhero is a 2D side-scrolling RPG adventure developed and published by Paper Castle Games. Steam release: 19 September 2018.
The chosen hero has failed, so a small masked underling of the villain takes his place and sets off across the Chestnut Kingdom to defeat his own boss, Mr. Stitches. Battles keep the feel of turn-based RPGs but drop the turns: you dodge, parry and strike with timing, land critical hits on the beat of the music and can even chat with or bribe enemies who still think you are on their side. Exploration mixes platforming, puzzles, mini games and hidden secrets.
Key Features
- Timing-based combat – dodge, parry and attack with precise inputs.
- Groovy criticals – hit on the beat of the soundtrack for bonus damage.
- Level-up choices – pick HP, attack or stamina each time.
- Talk or bribe – chat with enemies mid-battle or pay to escape.
- Pixel-art kingdom – platforming, puzzles and secrets across varied worlds.

The closest relative is Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling, an insect adventure that openly borrows the Paper Mario formula with timed action commands in every fight. Undertale shares the habit of talking your way through encounters and a soundtrack-driven sense of humour, while letting you spare foes instead of fighting. For more side-scrolling exploration with tight dodges and hidden paths, Hollow Knight offers a much darker hand-drawn kingdom to uncover. If the bright pixel art and bouncy movement are what charmed you, Pepper Grinder delivers short, colourful platforming stages built around a single playful tool.
