The Wonderful 101: Remastered’s After School Hero DLC – which was promised as a Kickstarter stretch goal back in 2020 – has now arrived, and it’s free to download on PlayStation and PC.
After School Hero was one of several stretch goals detailed when developer PlatinumGames opted to take a remastered version of Wii U cult classic The Wonderful 101 to Kickstarter back on 2020, and promised a side-scrolling adventure focused on a “young hero” named Luka.
The Wonderful 101: Remastered’s other DLC stretch goal, a Time Attack mode, launched back in 2021, so it’s been a bit of a wait for the DLC originally referred to as “Luka’s First Mission”.
Now retitled After School Hero, it follows new recruit Luka on a 2D side-scrolling platform adventure of “love, battle, and growth”. Evidently, it’s a significant departure from the base game, and core to the experience is a new twin-stick combat system in which players can unleash the power of three different laser types using Luka’s trusty Stingy Eye goggles.
