School Hero takes you to the mean streets of Japanese high school to rescue your girlfriend

Author : Olivia Update : Mar 17,2025

School Hero is a classic-style, side-scrolling beat 'em up where you brawl your way to victory against waves of enemy students. Enjoy minigames, challenging difficulty levels, and more!

High school? Stressful, right? But at least *you* don't have to punch your way through hordes of rival students to save the day! That's the premise of the anime-styled retro brawler, School Hero!

As you might expect, School Hero puts you in the shoes (or rather, sneakers) of Hero (yes, really) as he embarks on a quest to rescue his girlfriend from a rival school. Get ready to rumble with nerds, jocks, cheerleaders—the whole high school spectrum—in your quest for love (and victory!).

While it treads familiar ground, School Hero offers some welcome additions. Expect diverse levels and enemies, a key ingredient in any successful beat 'em up, plus a selection of minigames to offer a change of pace from the brawling.
