About the Game


Songs for a Hero Is an OLD-SCHOOL SUNG-THROUGH VIDEOGAME STRAVAGANZA! Join an unlikely hero as he sings his way through a strange world full of floating platforms, bright and colorful enemies, and many other inexplicable phenomena in an adventure unlike anything you have ever heard!

This humorous old-school platformer features a fully dynamic soundtrack that reacts to your every input, meaning that the hero will always sing and crack jokes about whatever is happening to him, whenever it happens.

With the Definitive Edition, you have access to all Songs for a Hero DLCs:



SONGS FOR THE DEAD
A spooky chapter for "Songs for a Hero". Fight your way through 3 levels with haunted mansions and crypts full of dark creatures that might as well have come straight from a horror movie. A brand-new campaign with plenty of heavy metal and rock'n'roll!


SONGS FOR A HERO: EPILOGUE
A campaign that takes place right after the Hero's last mission in Songs for a Hero.


SAMBA FOR A HERO
Nothing better than taking a vacation after tons of adventures, am I right? A new level inspired by the Brazilian Samba and Carnival!


SKIN PACKS
Here is your chance to play like a Slime, Snake, Dogs or Cactus. Also, now you can customize your hero with new heads!
