Underhero is now available DRM-free. Get it 30% off until August 12th, 1pm UTC.

Underhero is a 2D side-scroller RPG adventure game with timing-based combat, so no turns! Inspired by Paper Mario and other RPGs, it tells the story of a world where the chosen hero has failed and an underling of the main villain takes his place as the new “hero”.
edit: they fixed it

I look forward to looking more into this game on its game page...when it doesn't re-reroute me to the main store!

Thanks for the release =)

GOG.com: Underhero is a 2D side-scroller RPG adventure game with timing-based combat
Hm,...
It's back....and the link works, yeah. ;)

Edit: I absolutely LOVE the graphics...that's pixel art done well.

But...unfortunately - the stamina-based (?) fighting is absolutely not my thing.

Nice,GOG.
It's the way things are done.
That combat looks fun, game itself looks actually polished.

I might break down and get this.
Love the graphics and gameplay looks interesting. Nicely done!
Something is wrong with the system requirements. They say Intel HD 2000 and DX 11, but Intel HD 2000 doesn`t support DX 11. So either the Intel HD 2000 or DX 11 requirement is wrong.
Played the steam version earlier this year. This was a fun charming little game. It's overall gameplay/battle system and tone feel very Paper Mario like overall. There was some wonky tech issues I was having with that version then, though, but allegedly those were due to an older version of the engine in usage and the devs were looking at fixing it.

Looks very nice.

This release would be even nicer, if GOG would also offer the free DEMO and the free-standing Artbook.

Quote from Underhero

Is there a demo?

A: Sure! We have a one hour long demo of the intro and the first World available!
(You can even continue from the demo to the full game with your save file intact....)
Demo link on Itchio and Game Jolt.

The artbook costs $ 4.99 and you don't need to have the game installed.

Fun enough game so far. Well worth the asking price.

Oh yeah. It's definitely a fun game, and to add onto my original post, it looks like back in June they updated the game fixing a lot of the problems I was seeing with it at the time, so it should be pretty bug free, at least on the technical side.
AWWWWW I loved Underhero! That was one of my favroite game from last year. :D

And my feelings were not at all biased from me being a humongous Paper Mario fan, cough cough.

Yeah the Paper Mario influences shine through quite brillantly, one of the major characters is just Quizmo for crying out loud. And I don't mind one bit. If nintendo can't be botheerd to make real Paper Mario games anymore, then I'm glad the indie devs are picking up where nintedo left off.
I hate it when this happens, I already have the game on Steam!

I hope it appears in GoG Connect soon. If not, they could at least offer a greater discount to those that already have the game on Steam.
