3D beat-em-ups havenāt fallen completely out of style, and Big Helmet Heroes is here to prove it. This Castle Crashers-esque title is overflowing with charm, humor, and well-crafted hack ān slash gameplay. Itās a killer time at a pretty reasonable price, so you may want to know just how much bang for your buck you get for $20. Hereās how long it takes to complete Big Helmet Heroes
How long does it take to beat Big Helmet Heroes?
The linear campaign of Big Helmet Heroes doesnāt take too long to complete on its normal difficulty. If you just want to reach the credits at the end of the adventure, you can anticipate spending around 6-8 hours getting there.
However, just beating the gameās campaign isnāt enough to earn all of the trophies or achievements available. In fact, youāll need to do a handful of specific things to fully complete Big Helmet Heroes
For starters, youāll need to beat the game on its hardest difficulty (though itās worth noting that itās still a pretty breezy experience). Youāll also need to beat a non-tutorial level without taking any damage, and complete at least one non-tutorial level with a co-op partner (local only). Other requirements include unlocking all of the heroes, petting over 50 sheep, collecting nearly 2,000 flowers, defeating tons of enemies in multiple unique ways, and doing a variety of other quirky things.
Luckily, doing all of this shouldnāt run up your playtime to an extreme, as much of it is easily handled while playing through the game normally if youāre paying attention. So, if you decide to go for full completion, expect your overall time in the game to end up around 10 hours. Of course, your mileage may vary if you approach exploration at a more leisurely pace, or if you opt to beat the game on Easy before doing a Hard run.
Big Helmet Heroes is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Since it offers local co-op, itās a great game to play with a kid or significant other, so get out there and kick some ass together.
