'88 Heroes' (ALL) 98 Heroes Edition Comes to Switch Next Month - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Sept. 6, 2017 @ 8:40 a.m. PDT

88 Heroes is a chaotic 2D platformer that is as fun to watch as it is to play, where each level completed or untimely death brings a new uniquely skilled hero into the action.

Each level completed or untimely death brings a new uniquely skilled hero into the action and, with just 88 minutes to complete all 88 levels, players will need every one of the 88 heroes to stop the dastardly Dr. H8 from destroying the Earth!

Are you up to the challenge?

The 88 Heroes - 98 Heroes Edition Nintendo Switch edition features all of the frantic fast-paced and funny action of the original release, plus the DLC pack ‘RSG Champions’ previously available on other formats, as well as the forthcoming DLC pack, ‘H8 Mode Activate.’

The ‘RSG Champions’ pack comprises eight playable heroes taken from other smash-hit indie games published by Rising Star Games, in a crossover of colossal proportions! Characters include Rusty from SteamWorld Collection, Gunborg from Zombie Vikings, and Conga Master, from… well, Conga Master. Meanwhile the ‘H8 Mode Activate’ pack further offers up two playable characters and a collection of eight hardcore challenge levels to seriously test your platforming prowess.

88 Heroes – 98 Heroes Edition is scheduled for release both at physical retail and digitally October 2 in North American markets, and October 10 everywhere else.
