Kemono Heroes combines elements of run and gun, fast arcade action with dashes and slashes, with cool and fluffy characters. It can be enjoyed up to 4 Players in cooperative mode, fighting together and helping each other but is totally designed to work as a single player game as well. Play solo, or share Joy-Con controllers for local multiplayer support for up to 4 players. With upgradeable weapons and items, and charming visuals drawn from retro side-scrollers and traditional folklore, Kemono Heroes is truly a vivid and memorable action adventure!
