"Kemono Heroes made me reminisce of trying to finish challenging Super NES games cooperatively with friends. In other words, it&s;s an authentically retro experience that&s;s sure to entertain a couch full of chums and you can&s;t go wrong with that."

"There’s a lot to love here, with the only drawbacks really being that Kemono Heroes feels like it could get slightly lost in the shuffle due to perhaps not carving out enough of an identity in such a rich genre, …"

"Kemono Heroes is a very short but satisfying experience. With a creative visual design, a simple but effective progression system and a second run that reinvents the stages, the game manages to deliver a fun and challenging journey."

"In the end, Kemono Heroes was a decent experience, if not a particularly interesting one. Priced at $14.99, it will serve as a nice tie over experience for platformer fans, due to being a roughly one to two hour adventure. …"
