Editorial overview
What it is
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!
The premise
Tsukigami, the Moon God, has petrified the inhabitants of the forest, and only the four Animal Ninja Masters can break the spell and restore their home! Harness each character's swift moves, arsenal of tools, and unique powers to fight through hordes of evil spirit minions to reach Mt. Fuji and confront the Moon God.
