This is pretty much like Jump Force, where your character is somehow important but uninteresting due to a lack of personality. Every interaction is done with your character being mute, and somehow everyone else understands you via gestures, such as rubbing your neck. Despite having a variety of voice types at your disposal, you only say anything during pre-fight opening scenes. The conceit is fine, but your character never says a thing. This plays out alongside some of the major events from the anime's first season. Fast-forward a few months later, and you are joining the Hero Association, where you start off at rank C and work your way up until you become a top-ranking hero. Just as you're about to perish, Saitama saves you by killing the demon in one punch.

You're never going to create someone who looks completely awesome, but that's perfectly fine when you consider the cast of characters.įinish with your character, and you'll jump into the story mode, which sees your newly created hero stand up to the invading demon - but it's not going well. The initial set is basic, except for things like a party hat and a Saitama mask, but it gets stranger when horse heads and cardboard boxes enter the mix. Skin colors are also varied, but the fun is in the clothes and accessories that you can equip on your hero. For the most part, the system is pretty basic, with the expected sliders for body and face types and a decent number of voice types per gender. Do you dial down Saitama so the game becomes challenging and fair while also breaking canon? Do you give everyone the chance to play as the protagonist and have him wreck everyone in one blow? If you're Spike Chunsoft, developers of One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows, you go the route of the previous game, Jump Force, and don't focus on him or his cohorts.Īfter the title screen, you're thrust into the character creator. Both the anime and manga are entertaining due to the blend of comedy and action in each story, but it's trickier to turn the experience into a video game. He becomes so powerful that he can kill every enemy in one punch.


One Punch Man was a great concept: Take an average person, have him want to be a hero, and let him train endlessly to achieve his goal.
