This is a real shame considering that blasting foes using creative weaponry really comes to life with friends. One of the only drawbacks to this version of NoReload Heroes, despite it being “Enhanced”, is the lack of online co-op support.

This charming shooter is stuffed full of risk/reward opportunities. Another option is to keep moving, but be warned: Your party always starts with slow manoeuvrability, and it’s only when levelling up (and you’re given the choice between two buffs) that this can improve. Instead, you must use the environments and objects around you to block the rampant fire of your enemies, finding the right time to pop out and get a shot in for yourself. While it’s true you have the chance to pick up guns that can freeze, swarm and do much more to your enemies, NoReload Heroes makes a conscious choice to not let you dodge. Shooting your way to the top of the tower or to one of the three random bosses featured here is no slouch, especially for those who opt to go it solo. There are three possible bosses that can pop up during a run, all of which require you to work together while whittling down their percentage bar. HD rumble mixed with weapon recoil gives the game a welcome sense of weight and feedback. Small touches like this help elevate the game above the swathe of other top-down shooters on the Nintendo eShop.
Every shot always sends a pleasant ripple of vibration through the palm of your hands, which can be big or small depending on how powerful your currently equipped weapon is. Rarely does an indie game take advantage of the Joy-Con so well, but NoReload Heroes uses these features brilliantly. The act of shooting also always feels great thanks to some excellent HD Rumble integration. All these traits vary in all the guns you’ll pick up, randomising your chances of success but also giving you a slight advantage in certain areas. On a purely technical level I was quite surprised by how much the game leans into this concept, because while it would have been easy to just bake an endless stream of fire into each gun or weapon type, the game’s namesake actually factors into positional elements you need to be aware of, like recoil, fire rate and bullet size.
The arcade action never stops from run to run because the focus is solely on the firing. The first thing to mention is that NoReload Heroes easily lives up to its name. While it may initially sound like an extremely basic setup, NoReload Heroes makes up for its inherent simplicity by absolutely delivering some colourfully chaotic couch co-op fun.Ĭhaos easily ensues when a full party of four has access to multiple different weapons. All this you do in the effort to stop a rogue AI you’ve created. This is most definitely the case with NoReload Heroes, a procedural and fairly inventive twin-stick shooter where you and three others must fight your way to the top of a castle while fending off legions of pesky foes. You have to appreciate any game that throws you into the action instantly.
