Zheros is a new generation 3D beat 'em up, based on the genre hallmarks, above all: smashing hordes of enemies and punching stuff. From bizarre characters and encounters to strange locations, find out what mystery awaits you at the end of your journey.
About the story
In a journey through distant and unknown galaxies, you will play as the members of the Zheros squad: Mike and Captain Dorian. Brave, strong as awkward and dim-witted the first one; agile, smart and ready for anything the second one. They are both intergalactic agents called to protect the galaxies from crime. Your mission: defend the universe from the evil Dr. Vendetta and his twisted plan to mutate every living creature in his trusted minions.

Critic Reviews
BaziCenter
By Fardin BagherianZheros is a fast-paced and beautiful Beat’em up, with weak story, broken gameplay, illogical difficulty, and repetitive level-design and combat. Simply don’t play it.
Chalgyr's Game Room
By Pierre-Yves LanthierWith a planet in danger as an evil tyrant invades with his army at the press of a button, a duo from the Zheros squad is dispatched to protect it. Taking out the initial invading forces in the span of time equal to that of writing a Twitter post, it doesn't take long for even more of the invaders to be sent off in order to finish both the job and the duo that stands between liberation and subjugation.

By TraceyThere is a DLC pack available for Zheros that includes additional content that feels like a short expansion pack, so be ready to check out our review for it soon!
NEOsite
By Kacper MądryZheros is a game, which you MAY finish (but I don't think you will). That is, if you don't care about good graphics and music, engaging gameplay and optimisation.
GameSpace
By Gareth HarmerIn the end, it feels as though Zheroes is a game that can’t make up its mind about what it wants to be. It pulls elements from side-scrolling platformers, deep beat-em-ups, and button-mashing dungeon crawlers, but fails to bring them together. With a stronger vision, clearer direction, and more meaningful narrative, it could have been the sci-fi romp we were hoping for. As it is, this is one for niche die-hards only.
