“This is a fun game with a great combat system, nice art style, and a good story so far. It is a long and adventurous exploration game with roguelike souls-style gameplay, suitable for all ages and reminiscent of the first Spyro game.”
“Has a cute story narrated by a good voice actor, almost like a fairy tale or bedtime story.”
“+ Voice actors and storytelling are very impressive.”
“While there is not much to do in the overworld, it’s still such a colorful game with a great story to tell, and your skills will be tested if you’re willing to challenge yourself.”
“Monuments that add to the story throughout the game show the developers either have a bad translation team.”
“I'm not totally sure how to unlock the bad ending, but I would recommend not completing all the dungeons and just trying to get through the story as quickly as possible to increase the chance to unlock the bad ending first.”
“It's rare to find a story mode co-op that flows well.”
Slime Heroes Review – Soulslike for kids
Slime Heroes is a magical kids’ game with a hint of the Soulslike genre sprinkled onto it. While it’s not an exact replica of the genre, there are elements of it that make it a great way to introduce the genre to a younger audience. Even if you try to set the game to easy mode, it will still challenge you regardless of whether that would be the environment or the boss’ move sets. While there is not much to do in the overworld, it’s still such a colourful game with a great story to tell, and your skills will be tested if you’re willing to challenge yourself.
