One Punch Man: A hero no one knows: the invincible hero makes his debut – Eugene Sowah

One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows is the latest game to come from the anime-inspired Bandai Namcos collection, bringing the invincible hero Saitama and his high-octane universe to their video game debut. .

Upon hearing about One Punch Man advertised as a fighting game, I and many fans were curious to know how a ridiculously overpowered hero like Saitama would be adapted as a playable character while staying true to the anime. Rather than focusing on Saitama Bandai Namco and Spike Chunsoft, the focus has been on a new hero around whom the history of games will be centered.

One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows is an arena fighter with great shaded cel-like graphics that look like anime, but before players can fight fan favorites like Silver Fang, Genos or even Saitama, they will have unlocked them in single player mode, which makes up to 90% of the game.

Single player mode is set in a limited open world where new areas can be unlocked by completing missions. Upon entering this chaotic world, players will need to create their new licensed hero, but don't expect a lavish offset character design. The choice of outfits, hair styles and extras will be very limited at first, but you will be able to purchase additional charges as the game progresses. Your newly created hero will be immersed in the world of One Punch Man where he will perform various heroic actions to increase his hero rank, with the aim of becoming a class S hero.

The story follows the first season of the anime, preparing our hero for a fierce clash with the supreme alien Boros, but the road is endless endless. Before you even think about participating in the anime dream battles, your hero will have to climb the ladder by completing the heroic missions defined, but the association of heroes and by completing the NPC quests.

Most missions and quests will require you to fight villains, meeting certain conditions for bonus points. But the missions are not limited to fighting, you have to run errands, stop flights and more. Even if there are a lot of missions, the mission and the quests are not deep enough, which become very monotonous very quickly. Although the ability to interact with other heroes in the series and improve your social relationship with them adds even more depth to the experience.

One-Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows uses many traditional RPG mechanics such as leveling up and learning new attacks, but there are a few extras that make the system unique. Players will be able to change their battle type based on their playing style. After meeting new characters in the game, players will have access to their skills, so if you are a fan of Metal Bat or Tank Top Master, you can learn their Killer Moves.

Each battle type can be upgraded individually and changed at any time. Your hero will have access to three Killer moves and one Super Killer location, which will result in four special attacks. The only downside is that you can't mix killer moves from different types of battle, which would give your hero a little more range in battle.

Adjusting the parameters of your heroes plays a big role in their development. Heroes will level up in combat, but players will need to use growth points to increase certain attributes like attacks, killer moves, technique, and lure. This detail will help give birth to heroes that you can really call your own, as players will undoubtedly focus on developing different attributes.

I highly recommend playing the local battle once you have unlocked a decent amount of characters, at this point the players would have mastered the game leading to epic clashes. This is where One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows shines, incorporating many fun elements of anime to fans who will enjoy the sublime experience.

Each dramatic fight will be a team battle, but players can decide if they want the whole team to start at the start and swap them out or use the finish rules, where you will have survived. until your other characters arrive on the scene to help you. There will be many dangers such as meteorites falling on random heroes seeming to help or attack and even objects will fall from the sky.

All these elements will guarantee that each fight will not be the same. The developers have overcome the invincibility of Saitamas and the potential for him to become a cheap character by introducing the Use Saitama option where players can decide if he can be chosen in a fight. If selected, it will take approximately 2 minutes to arrive at the scene.

There is even a small screen showing his progress. Once arrived, each enemy will be defeated in One Punch. But I think the real test will be to play against Saitama vs Saitama, who knows if the console can handle so much power. The game uses simple combat mechanics that are easy to understand for newcomers but there is not enough depth to hold back fans of hardcore fighting games.

But fans of the anime will be thrilled with the amount of playable characters, heroes and favorite monsters from the first season are here. Players will be pleased to see each character perform their iconic moves and deliver devastating killer moves.

Verdict

Anime fans will be thrilled with the sheer amount of playable characters, heroes and monsters, which they can choose from among the characters and launch devastating super attacks.

One Punch Man: a hero that nobody knows suffers from frame rate problems and repetitive missions in story mode. However, Bandai Namco has delivered a fun arena fighter with explosive cutscenes mixed with the voice and the soundtrack.

With the huge list of 27 characters and the DLC planned, players are entitled to an amount of stellar content that all fans could dream of. Saitama should be thrilled with her video game debut and I can't wait to hear about the sequel that should follow the incredible second season.
