The DLC content – Forbidden Kingdom – adds a new location and a new Zhero, but the combat abilities and content are still much the same. A repetitive but palatable beat track is replaced with a repetitive but palatable East Asian track, and some new non-robot enemies put in an appearance, but it’s largely the same thing.

About
ZHEROS is a next gen beat’em up based on the genre hallmarks, above all: smashing hordes of enemies and punching stuff. In a journey through distant and unknown galaxies, you will play as the members of the ZHEROS squad: Mike and Captain Dorian. Brave, strong as awkward and dim-witted the first one; agile, smart and ready for anything the second one. They are both intergalactic agents called to defend the universe from crime.

Critic reviews
- 3.8While this could have been an incredible new entry in its genre, Zheros falls flat with its bare facsimile of a story, its bland gameplay, and monotonous level design. This is a very pretty game that tries to pay homage to the beat ‘em ups of the past, but Zheros only shows itself to be very outdated and simplistic, and cannot possibly keep up with the games out today.
- 6.0ZHEROS is fun to play for a while. Its combo system is entertaining to use, and its graphics look good. However, flaws in its design include frustrating difficulty spikes, some punishing later levels, and occasionally awkward controls, which results in a game that falls short of its potential.
- Much like The Bible is full of sections of endless “begats,” describing Zheros becomes a list of “berefts.” It is bereft of charm, bereft of personality, bereft of interesting game mechanics, bereft of decent level design, (*deep breath*), bereft of humor, bereft of soul and bereft of respect for the player’s time. Zheros is a beat ’em up that doesn’t crash the Xbox One during play.
- 7.5When you play this game alone you will need to use dodge or block attacks a lot. You simply cannot survive four or more enemies at the same time and that's the challenge of this game. I recommend that when you play with two people you try at least the normal or hard mode. Overall this is a very fun, easy to play, beat ‘em up videogame with some nice upbeat soundtracks.
- 6.0Está claro que Rimlight Studios se ha basado en los grandes clásicos del género para llevar a cabo ZHEROS, aunque, por el camino, se han olvidado de que la generación de los 16 bits ya pasó y el título se queda a medias en muchos aspectos debido a que, a pesar de salir a la venta en pleno 2016, sus mecánicas resultan arcaicas.
