Kemono Heroes, developed by Mad Gear Games and published by Jandusoft, is a side-scrolling action platformer with a setting that draws inspiration from Japanese folklore. The game follows four anthropomorphic warriors – a fox, a squirrel, a cat, and a monkey – on a quest to defeat Tsukigami, the Moon God, who has cursed their land by turning its inhabitants into stone.

Atomfall review (PS5)

The narrative’s depth is commendable, offering a rich tapestry of (side) stories that keep players engaged. However, some plot elements may feel overly familiar to enthusiasts of the post-apocalyptic genre, potentially diminishing the impact of certain twists for some.
