Preview by Matt C. Next Up Hero is a strange beast to describe. It’s fundamentally a twin-stick shooter, but with elements of hack-and-slash, hero shooter, roguelike, and asynchronous co-op, it’s unlike any any other twin-stick shooter I’ve played. The game takes place within a world of songs, hitch is under…
