About NOT A HERO

✦ AI summary

A quirky cover-based shooter where you manage a motley crew of heroes tackling crime across three city districts while building political support for a time-traveling rabbit mayoral candidate. Packed with dynamic missions, nine unique playable characters with distinct abilities, and frantic run-and-gun gameplay that blends tactical cover mechanics with absurdist humor and creative destruction.

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. Eliminate the criminal underworld of the city’s three major districts and persuade undecided voters to your cause, tackling the issues that matter by putting a gun in the mouth of those issues.

Through the power of ISO-Slant™ technology and a wasted youth, London-based developer Roll7 (OlliOlli) delivers the greatest 2¼D cover-based indie shooter of all-time, ever.

Next Level Shootouts – Use reasonable force unreasonably in a dynamic mix of run-and-gun gameplay and cover-based shootouts. The intuitive quick-snap cover system lets you slide, roll, and dive into cover, dodging enemy fire before fighting back with tackles, executions, and 100s of bullets.

Roster of Not Heroes - Select between 9 different heroes, each with their own distinct gameplay style and crime murdering abilities. Blast the city’s scum through doors with Cletus’ a shotgun, slice them in half with Kimmy’s katana dash, or simply bash crime in it’s terrible face with Ronald’s hammer.

Dynamic Missions – Go ham on primary objectives and (sometimes random) secondary goals but be prepared for unexpected mid-level events that turn the tables on the anti-heroes in an instant. SWAT teams, gun-toting elderly, helicopter gunships, pandas, pugs and suicidal samurais stand between you and victory.

ABOUT ISO-Slant™ TECHNOLOGY

Developed over six years and $22.5 million, the revolutionary ISO-Slant™ technology enables game developers to reach the sweet spot between 2D and 2½D perspectives. Through the liberal, almost irresponsible use of ISO-Slant™, Not a Hero developer Roll7 is able to radically alter the standard 2D pixel art action game into an unbelievable 2¼D visual tour de force. For more information or to license ISO-Slant™ for your own purposes please contact the ISO-Slant™ team at @ISOSlant on Twitter.

✦ AI summary

NOT A HERO is a fast-paced 2D cover shooter with crisp gameplay and charm that players find surprisingly fun and engaging, though some feel the humor is dated and the game is quite short for its price. Common complaints include technical issues like crashes in regular mode and fullscreen problems that disable achievements, along with concerns that the content doesn't justify the cost. Despite its brevity and quirks, players generally recommend giving it a try and feel it's worth experiencing for its unique design and solid action mechanics.

Never really wrote a review before but this game was so fun i played a lot on nintendo switch long time before, its truly a one of kind gem with its design choices and gameplay and i find it truely disspointing there isnt more, this game is fast paced action and just gives you a tutorial and drops kicks you into action immeditally and its hella fun even when it seems unfair its quickly replacable my joy or spite that you finally won or killed that annoying enemy that you hated. The humor is meh i guess if your used to today's standards but it's still fun only really during intermissions or enemy voicelines. Even for how there barely any special items or unique character interactions during a level it still feels like you have plenty of ways to beat a level or deal with certain enemy's you kinda can make challenges for yourself. The characters are really fun to play as you get used to them, tho the characters you unlock later are way stronger then at the start none of them feel equal to the others especially mike or kimmy there is a reason why their only unlockable late game. for the dlc i feel like it made the game so much better and only real change is some new interactions and bu…

Pretty fun action platformer, but not a fan of how you can't fullscreen the game without playing in safe mode, which disables achievements. Even if the game keeps crashing on you in regular mode. Didn't find that out until I beat the game and got nothing for it. Still worth a try.

Overall a pretty small game, but full of charm and definitely worth trying. Cutscenes are a little long but gameplay is exceedingly crisp and the characters are all unique. Overall 8/10.
