Indie developer Exalted Studio and publisher Dear Villagers announced that 3D beat ‘em up game Big Helmet Heroes will release in the first quarter of 2025 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch. A free demo is available now on both Steam and Xbox, if you’d like to whet your whistle.
Big Helmet Heroes is playable solo or with a partner in local co-op as you fight waves of enemies and bosses in accessible, yet challenging combat. Across its childhood fantasy inspired levels, you will rescue 29 characters using a variety of swords, axes, clubs, crossbows, electric fly swatters, and laser guns. There are also four heroes – Warrior, Brute, Rogue, and Monk – each with unique special powers.
The game looks great so far, but I am begging Exalted Studio to add online co-op at some point. Have a look at the new release window trailer below:
