One-Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows is the first successful manga / anime-based console game Man with a fist. Released in February 2020, developer Spike Chunsoft did not create an ordinary anime fighter. A Hero Nobody Knows actually introduces a host of new gameplay features and mechanics to confuse the action. This includes a range of systems that you would expect to see in action RPGs rather than the fighting genre.
History
The basics of the general manga series are carried over to One-Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows. The main character is Saitama, a hero so powerful that he can defeat any opponent with a single punch. While this may seem like the perfect power, it leaves the character discouraged and depressed. After all, it means that no one can present him with a real challenge and makes his heroics feel useless.
As you might have guessed from the name, the real focus of the story is on a brand new hero. Players create their own character and build it instead of taking direct control of an established fighter. The ultimate goal of the plot is to have your personal creation recognized by the Hero Association. This involves ranking up as you complete a series of combat challenges.
Fortunately, One-Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows doesn’t just rely on fighting to tell its story. The developers use a combination of cel-shaded stills and animated movies. Many of them, especially the still images, appear to be taken directly from the anime itself. Fans of the show will also find some nice surprises in the plot. This is because it takes place during the period of the first season.
As you progress through the single player campaign, you meet characters and witness events straight from the anime. This not only reminds you of the overall story, but helps make you feel part of the world. Unfortunately, your hero doesn’t play such an important role. Another problem arises from the fact that the player character doesn’t really interact with anyone or anything. Obviously, this is a consequence of the fact that they are customizable rather than some of the series, but it is disappointing nonetheless.
