How co-op works
Up to four local players share the campaign as heroes with distinct movement and attacks. They combine combat, platforming, character-specific abilities, and enemy possession to clear obstacles and bosses, coordinating their actions while remaining together on the same screen.
About this game
Unruly Heroes is an action-platformer inspired by the Chinese classic Journey to the West, where up to four players team up to recover the scattered pieces of a sacred scroll. The game supports both solo play and local co-op, letting you control four distinct heroes with unique Kung-Fu skills as you battle through vibrant, hand-drawn environments.

Gameplay mixes fast-paced combat with environmental puzzles that demand coordination. Players can swap between heroes on the fly, using each character's abilities to overcome obstacles, defeat enemies, and navigate tricky platforming sections. The shared-screen setup creates hilarious chaos when everyone is fighting for space or accidentally knocking teammates into hazards.
Local couch co-op supports up to four players on the same screen, with split-screen options and Steam Remote Play Together for online sessions. The frantic pace and constant need to communicate under pressure make it a strong pick for groups who enjoy kitchen-sink coordination and can laugh off the occasional friendly-fire mishap.
