If you like One Punch Man do yourself a favor and don't buy this game. This is another prime example of an IP with huge potential ruined with a terrible attempt at a game. - The fighting system is boring and one-dimensional - Character customization is very uninspired and simply recycled stuff from other characters - There is an insane amount of loading screens before and after every quest and interaction - Despite …

🥊 ONE PUNCH MAN: A HERO NOBODY KNOWS ONE PUNCH MAN: A HERO NOBODY KNOWS was my first experience with this type of arena fighter. The concept is simple — and honestly, clever. It’s based on the anime One-Punch Man, which is already strong, funny, and charismatic. That alone is enough to convince fans to buy the game. The twist? You don’t play as Saitama from the start. You create your own hero — choose appearance, …

As a One-Punch Man fan, creating your own hero, exploring this universe, and trying to raise your rank in the Hero Association is really fun. The main reason this game has mixed reviews is the insanely long loading times. The way I made those bearable was by doing something else during the loading times, like studying, watching videos, or playing another game. I really enjoyed the first 10 hours or so, but it …

Very fun game. Highly recommend if you really like One Punch Man. Just finished 100% and really enjoyed my time with it. I don't like fighting games so this was a pleasant surprise. Its a fighting game that's more chill since you're fighting AI and has a lot more flare and anime to it with the killer move animations. Character creator is decent as well. Being able to have your own character and follow the story of …

ONE PUNCH MAN: A HERO NOBODY KNOWS sits at 49% positive across 163 opinionated reactions from 4 sources. Fresh or rotten — where do you land?
Critics, per Wikipedia
The game received mixed reviews from critics, but was nominated for The Game Awards 2020 in the best fighting game category. While the story mode was praised, the gameplay and visuals were considered unpolished and too simplistic. Reviewers were polarized on the gimmick revolving around Saitama's invincibility, with some praising it for its uniqueness, and others considering it a fatally flawed concept rendering all other characters useless and making multiplayer mode completely unbalanced unless both players picked Saitama. The physical PlayStation 4 game was the 18th highest selling physical video game in Japan during its debut week, with an estimated 4,500 copies sold; by its second week…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game and combat sucks like in story mode you play as some guy who's too weak to do anything so you always wait for Saitama to come and save you and ONE PUNCH!!! Nobody plays this game and the loading screens are too long and even with an SSD it doesn't help. Bandai Namco why you gotta ruin One Punch Man turning him into Loading Screen Man or One Frame Man or Low Effort Man because seriously, you suck!

(something like Saitama in One Punch Man. or historically, how Gan Ning was treated by his superiors before joining the Sun clan/future Wu. or present day employees not getting recognition for their work.)

neutral · AI labelView post →As a person who 100% completed this game, i can confidently say that this was by far the worst fighting game i played, the combos are non existent, some classes are super weake compared to others, the level 99 grind is just pure torture, it is a quick-ish game tho so that is the only good thing i can say about it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →TL;DR: This is not a good game. Do not buy it. No online mode anymore, EAC is still installed despite this. • Is this a bad game overall? — This answer is going to be more complicated than a yes or no. As a fan of the series, I enjoy the thought of making a character in the world I love, getting to interact with characters I have enjoyed greatly, and participating in the story as I grow stronger and slowly learn new fighting styles that I might enjoy. As a fan, it has a lot of that feel of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ONE PUNCH MAN: A HERO NOBODY KNOWS manages to do something amazing - it makes One Punch Man boring Why you should avoid this game: - there is a mechanism where you have to raise 'hero contribution' to do main missions. Hero contribution is awarded for doing the same stupid missions over and over again - optimization is terrible - it is a loading screen simulator - seriously, 70s loading screen for 10s dialogue into another 70s loading screen into 20s fight into 70s loading screen into 15s…

neutral · AI labelView post →I am in a similar situation to Saitama; nobody recognizes him, irrespective of the power level he carries, yet he is still the main character of the series! And to be fair, the game has better animations and frames than the third season of the anime! (:

neutral · AI labelView post →I really want to like this game, the concept, the world, everything is there, it just doesn't hit the mark. First, this game needs crazy optimization, someone needs to sit down and figure out how to get rid of the loading screens. Every battle, every discussion, you will wait a full 60-90 seconds of loading. The fighting system is a bit stiff, I don't know, just disappointed in what could have been great.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and running 10 kilometers every single day. Do all of this, and still not reach level 99. Don't buy this game at full price, MAYBE for 5 bucks. The online services have been shut down and you can only 1v1 friends in a fairly mid arena fighter. There isn't enough content in the game to naturally max out your level and will require tedious grinding. And if you want to 100% the game on steam the final achievement for getting all other achievements is just a…

Regardless I was quite excited to play this not really knowing anything about it. At first I did enjoy it. But after an hour or so that effect worn off quickly. Honestly by the end of me finishing this, It became quite a drag. My main two issues with this game is one, the repetitive boring HQ missions. They get so boring by like…

One Punch Man is by far my favorite anime series but this game sucks the life out of everything it stands for. I didn't mind the loading screens as much as I loathed the combat. It...is...so...slow. Jumping is like floating at .5x speed and combos look laborious and strained. I tried to see if there was an option to alter the FPS but it only apply's to the hub segment. Overall…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →ONE PUNCH MAN: A HERO NOBODY KNOWS is a typical Spike Chunsoft 3D fighter- you create a unknown character in the set universe, and they go through all the main story events alongside main characters, while padding the game with 100’s of side quests.

As a fighter its ok, I’d only recommend for One Punch Man fans or getting it on heavy discount as any of the above…

Sadly the flow of the game gets all mucked up due to the loading screens. I'm not running this game on a potato. I've got a decent rig and the game is installed on a nvme ssd. Frankly I haven't seen loading times like these in years and it completely ruins what could otherwise be a great experience.
