We Could Be Heroes is a video game set in the fictional city of Ultra City, a privately owned urban environment that has deteriorated into a crime-ridden landscape where elderly citizens are robbed openly and drug dealers operate freely.
The game centers on a group of individuals who decide to take justice into their own hands when law enforcement fails to act. Players assume the roles of various characters, each with distinct backgrounds and combat styles.
The gameplay blends classic arcade beat-’em-up mechanics with modern innovations, allowing players to use a wide variety of improvised weapons found throughout the environment, including items from shop shelves, dustbins, and even severed limbs.
The game features an evolving storyline with multiple branching paths, enabling players to choose whether to play as a hero, anti-hero, or villain, with their in-game actions shaping their character’s moral alignment.
It supports cooperative play for up to four players and showcases a unique visual style that combines pixel art with 3D elements, creating a distinctive aesthetic.
The game emphasizes player agency, allowing for diverse approaches to combat and narrative progression.
