10 Upcoming Video Games To Look Out For In April 2017
2. Super Red Hot Hero
What is it: Super Red Hot Hero is an indie platformer, one that melds its chief inspirations of Super Meat Boy, Mega Man, and Mario into a hop and bop action game, and a speedrunner's play haven.
The titular Super Red Hot Hero is a living weapon made of an energy source called Red-Hot Energy, rebelling against the forces of King Kazan and his planet conquering minions. But he'll have to be quick about it - his synthetic heart will stop if he stays still.
As the Super Red Hot Hero, you'll free your native planet from the oppressive invaders by destroying all of them, one robot at a time. By hopping, punching, and blasting your foes to smithereens, they'll leave a floating residue of Red-Hot Energy which you can teleport yourself towards instantly.
Creative usage of this energy is key to not only grabbing the best times, but also finding new routes through the game's thirty-ish odd worlds.
When's it coming out: SRHH leaves Early Access on the 28th of April for PC. You can play a free demo on the game's Kickstarter page.
