Underhero is a 2D side-scrolling RPG where combat hinges on timing your attacks and blocks rather than menu selection. You play as a low-ranking minion who accidentally kills the chosen hero, then inherits his quest. Accompanied by a talking sword hilt named Elizabeth the IV, you travel through platforming stages to rebuild her lost power and eventually face your former boss, Mr. Stitches. The game leans into its premise's absurdity with oddball NPCs and self-aware humor. Expect dialogue-heavy scenes between combat encounters. Progression involves light puzzle-solving, item management, and learning enemy attack patterns for timed counters. If you want turn-based battles with rhythm game reflexes and a story that doesn't take itself seriously, this delivers that mix.
