Unruly Heroes is a breathtakingly beautiful 2D action-adventure that feels like playing through a hand-drawn animated film. Inspired by the legendary 'Journey to the West', the game allows you to seamlessly switch between four distinct characters: Wukong, Sanzang, Kihong, and Sandmon. Each hero brings a unique playstyle—Wukong and Sandmon excel in heavy combat and double jumping, while Sanzang and Kihong offer long-range attacks and gliding abilities. This character-swapping mechanic isn't just a gimmick; it’s essential for navigating the game’s intricate platforming sections and solving environmental puzzles.
The level design is a standout feature, blending traditional platforming with clever puzzle-solving and rhythmic parkour. One moment you’re battling a screen-filling boss, and the next you’re shrinking down to navigate a miniature world or possessing enemies to use their powers. The combat is fluid and satisfying, complemented by a gorgeous art style that makes every frame look like a masterpiece. While the difficulty can spike in later stages, the responsive controls and generous checkpoints keep the experience from becoming frustrating. It’s a rare gem on mobile that captures the depth and polish of a high-end console title.

Beautiful graphics, sound, excellent progression. The point off is because the onscreen layout doesn’t disappear when using a controller. I know it’s a nit picky complaint but 90% of controller games remove the UI when using controller. Update this and I’ll be glad to update review.
I am just downloading this now and so haven’t even played yet. I just wanted to give it 5 stars right away to reward a game that charges you up front and doesn’t have IAPs! I’m sure they can’t be making money at two bucks a pop though, so there must be more content planned on a buy-as-you-go basis. Which would be fine. Or maybe it’s not like that at all, I have no idea 😂 I’ll update this review when I’ve had a chance to play the game a little while. But thank god not another “free” game that immediately wants you to start subscribing to power packs and constantly bothers you to the tune of $20, $30 or more for the REAL game. I have stopped supporting that freemium model in all but a few cases where I think the game is not P2W.
The graphics are great. Level difficulties are not consistent. Some of them are ridiculously hard. I am playing it on my phone so the controller is not working well in Central Processing level. Also sometime, the camera views need to be fixed in reverse gravity levels, how would I jump on the a moving platform that I cannot see? Sometimes the target is out of the camera how the heck are we aiming and knowing where the target objects are at. Level designers don’t seem to test their levels at all. They just push it whatever seems difficult. There are some bugs. At the level reload, critical objects are missing. For example, the vessel is missing at Lava Falls. There is no way to cross. There are reasons why Mario is the greatest game of all time and it will ever be.
Well worth the price of admission. I wasnt sure what exactly type of game it was. Quality platform fighter broken up into worlds/levels, each one with 3 goals...coins, medallion coin, time. You can use coins to purchase skins and specials. You can switch between the 4 heroes as they have different abilities(dbl jump/glide etc). You can also switch to another hero when u die, then if you attack the “soul”of the fallen hero he revives. I am two areas in, with 4 and 3 levels in each respectively. I will update review if needed. I have had zero crash issues and the controls seem to be placed and sized well. High quality for the price.
Just when I was starting to think mobile gaming had lost the magic it had back in the early 2010s, along comes this amazingly fun and beautifully crafted game to remind me that as long as talent and passion persist, the tradition of great games on the App Store will truly live on (even if they’re in MUCH shorter supply than they used to be). And it’s only two dollars. With no ads. No monetary gimmicks. Not a single catch. YOU LITERALLY HAVE NO EXCUSE TO NOT BUY THIS
The game has an awkward low resolution appearance and is panned out so far from the action that any player looking for basic clarity of gameplay is going to be instantly turned off. No amount of beautiful animation is going to sugarcoat these glaring issues. Also, switching between four characters who all play exactly the same becomes tedious and boring. You could’ve had two characters and nothing would be missed.
I'm blown away that this is a $2 game.. First minute playing and you know right away it's going to be fun with that familiar art style from Raymen games.. Every character is a blast to play with and they did a amazing job balancing the characters abilities.. I wouldn't hesitate on buying this gem
I love it to death and really want to give it five stars but I can’t because for some strange reason I’m a bit into the beginning of the story and it keeps closing on me I have tried to change my settings even uninstalled and reinstalled yet it keeps closing if you could fix this I would be more than happy to give it a 5 star rating
