“Very fun game if you like beat'm up genre. Good choise to relax with your kid after hard day. Good graficks and fun gameplay.”
“Very decent! Cute little game with satisfying combat - I just wish there was more going on in terms of a story. Maybe something develops further in to the game, but I've only played a couple of levels and I couldn't…”

“Big Helmet Heroes is a fun and colorful brawler with great animations. The combat feels smooth, making every victory very satisfying. I love upgrading my knight’s gear to take on tougher bosses. It’s the perfect game…”
“WOW! Castle Crashers 2 minus the 4 player coop. I recommend this game for kids and adults. Fun game, many character unlocks, super powers, wacky weapons. Supports ULTRAWIDE Screen and the graphics and destruction,…”
“100% Big Helmet Heroes on 9/8/2025, My wife and I just fully beat this game. The game is very similar to castle crashers, you play as knights trying to get the princess back and beating up all the enemies. The key…”

“I didn’t expect the game to be this much fun. There are so many different playable heroes, which makes me want to unlock them all. Each chapter is also anything but monotonous. It’s definitely worth the price.”
“Great fun! Colorful, chaotic co-op and charming heroes. Easy to enjoy and surprisingly addictive.”
“Great game. There's a lot of variety, so you wont get bored. Its kinda hard to see what's going on sometimes because of the locked camera, that's my only nitpick. Other than that, it looks and plays great!”

“Unfinished, crap game, full of bugs Why did you add exalted difficulty in the game after beating hard? Do you think this is one of those games people want to play more than once? Just add the damn difficulty straight…”
“Fast paced action brawler for 2 player coop. It's frantic, and fun to look at for a few minutes, but it's already getting repetitive. The fun comes from finding and unlocking different characters to play at. Perhaps.…”
“Game forces you to use different characters, but don't explain how to USE the new character?? Uhh.. And for some reason a character swinging two weapons is slower than just one large weapon. No explanation of any moves…”

“I quite like the game, it was the first game I decided to do a let-play on youtube for (although I'm pretty boring so I dont do the game justice). its a cute 2.5D game with a sense of humour. The devs dont take the game…”
“Played in coop with a friend, it was a neat experience. There's some creative ideas for the levels and weapons. I had more fun than I expected, if played solo I could see it being more boring. There were rare technical…”

“I would recommend this game only on a sale. Biggest problem I have is that there is no online co-op. Only split screen/remote play and this is unacceptable for a fun side scroller beat em up. After beating the game,…”

“This is kind of like Castle Crashers in 3d. There are 4 playable classes with a total of 29 different heroes to choose from. Good variety of levels that present different types of environments to bash and crash your way through. Overall fun to play in local co-op but not much…”
— a player, Steam review · 16 hrs played“Not a bad game. I think it would be better in co-op. It seems that they just tried to do a more graphical castle crashers. Issue is that they used Unreal engine which means it looks great but crashes (happened to me). There are 20 levels in total. The heavy weapons just sucked…”
— a player, Steam review · 4 hrs played“This game is like a prettier, simpler version of Castle Crashers but with the added bonus of being buggy as all hell. The controller switching bug is by far the most annoying one in the game if you're playing co-op, although the way the game doesn't accept controller input in…”
