Not a Hero is bizarre. It’s like someone at Roll7 took a load of weirdness, threw it against a wall and turned what stuck into a game. A game that really isn’t bad!
So how best to describe it… well… a Giant Purple Bunny, make that a Giant Time-Travelling Purple Bunny, named “Bunny Lord”, has come back from the future to ensure that he is elected “Global Mega Lord”. If this event doesn’t take place? The world ends! (Because of course it does)
To get elected, Bunny Lord has a “Fun Club” comprised of hit men (and women) that you control, set with the task of delivering “Rad Justice”. This is done in a way that Great Britain, and even the SAS would frown upon. It’s a good thing it’s only violent drug dealing pixels that have to worry.
As you play you will develop a taste for the character that suits you best. Each one has their own weapon that can’t be changed, so the game balances them by buffing/nerfing other stats or abilities. Some objective require a delicate step so Mike who carries a sawn-off shot gun and a knife is a great choice. His weapon range is poor but you can slide a great distance an execute an enemy without alerting others. Sammy however can reload without stopping which is great when there’s a tight time limit. Her accuracy while on the move is not great though.
