How co-op works
Two local players share the campaign, choosing heroes built around Warrior, Brute, Rogue, or Monk combat styles. The pair combines defense, heavy strikes, rapid attacks, and aerial control according to their classes, while using improvised weapons and character powers to clear enemies and obstacles.
About this game
Big Helmet Heroes is a 3D beat 'em up designed around true cooperative play, starring pint-sized knights on a quest to rescue a princess. Two players team up locally to brawl through vibrant levels filled with enemies, environmental surprises, and boss encounters that reward coordinated attacks.

Combat revolves around punching, dodging, and juggling enemies across compact arenas. The game encourages communication because players can set up combos, revive each other, and tackle encounters that overwhelm a solo knight. Platforming segments and interactive objects break up the action, keeping each world fresh and unpredictable.
Local couch co-op supports split-screen and shared-screen play on a single PC, with full controller support strongly recommended. Remote Play Together extends the reach for distant duos. Sessions lean into cheerful chaos, where tight coordination turns scrappy brawls into satisfying victories.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I play Big Helmet Heroes solo, or do I need a second player?
The game supports single-player, but it's designed around two-player co-op. Combat and encounters are built to reward coordination between two knights, so playing solo may feel more challenging since you won't have a partner to set up combos or revive you.
Does Big Helmet Heroes support online co-op?
No, it's local couch co-op only. You'll play split-screen or shared-screen on a single PC. However, you can use Steam Remote Play Together to play with a friend online if they don't need to own the game.
How important is communication and teamwork?
Very important. The combat encourages players to coordinate attacks, set up combos together, and revive each other during fights. Boss encounters especially benefit from planned teamwork rather than just button-mashing independently.
