About

Professional assassin turned amateur campaign manager Steve is charged with cleaning up the city by an anthropomorphic rabbit and mayoral candidate from the future named BunnyLord.

Now Steve and his expanding roster of dubious heroes must wield their unique skills to shoot, slide, dive and take cover behind a political platform built on ethics, accountability, and an inordinate amount of gunfire.

    Not a Hero is a game that will immediately grab your attention within the first few moments of playing it. By the time you make your way to the middle of the game’s story, some of the charm will probably wear off as you start to see some of the game’s more glaring issues including a ramped up difficulty, no checkpoint system, no auto-reload or missing a piece of cover to be killed by enemies once again. Oh well, 100th time’s a charm.

    Intense, high-action scenes are created within a pixel art world, and it’s great in short doses. Sadly, the desire to hop back into the game was gone as soon as I completed the final level. There was nothing unique enough to draw me back in for a second playthrough, nor any aspect of the game that made me excited enough to bring it up in conversation with peers.

    Much like Roll7’s previous Ollie Ollie titles, Not A Hero delivers one hell of a fast-paced challenge. As newcomers to the pixelated shooter genre, the studio has succeeded in producing a fun, challenging and gory experience. While the game’s bizarre sense of humor often falls flat, Not A Hero’s brutally addictive game play and well-thought up challenges certainly make up for it.

    Its overall tenure is brief, never staying long enough for you to think too deeply about aiding a burrow-digging politician in murdering party opposers to gain power, and rightly so. While it won’t have you mercilessly addicted to knocking out kickflips, it’ll likely be one of the best 2 and a quarter shooters you play this year.

    Not A Hero stumbles with its writing and forced humour, but is ultimately an enjoyable game thanks to some great gunplay.

    So ya, I’m not good at Not A Hero. While I beat it, it took me far longer than it will take someone who is good at this type of game. However, I will say in the end I think that as someone who came in, I found it to be a very good game on the whole. The game has a lot of dynamism with the gameplay and is hard without being unfair about it. It is, despite it’s over-the-topness, intelligently written with good themes and a game I recommend even if it is something outside your normal tastes like it was mine.
