One-Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows Reviews
One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows is not a bad anime implementation, but unfortunately not a good one either. The new hero arrival system, various events and items as well as the detailed characters from the series bring a breath of fresh air into the fighting. This also gives the luck factor an enormous weighting, which is not necessarily advisable in a beat’em up.

One-Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows had the unlimited potential to create an extraordinary experience, but this was not accomplished due to numerous design flaws. Despite some upgrades, OPM still retains much of the weaknesses and disadvantages of the former Spike Chunsoft title and even added a number of new bugs to its mix. The result is a title that is neither capable of satisfying fans of the One Punch Man series nor Fighting style fans.

One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows is a decent debut for the Baldy Hero, but the host of gameplay and story problems get in the way.
The main problem with One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows is that it just isn’t fun to play. It doesn’t retain the show’s charm because it completely misses the mark when it comes to its tone and setting. One Punch Man is all about how dumb the Hero Association’s bureaucracy is and you’re basically forced to climb the same ladder the show constantly made fun of. It is also a show about how boring Saitama’s life is due to the fact he’s so overpowered and that is visible whenever you’re actually able to play as him for the mere seconds he’s onscreen.
One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows is low-cost hero who has trouble working as fighting or adventure, like Saitama's, neither good or bad.

If you are madly in love with the series starring Saitama, you will have several tasks to perform in the world created by ONE, coming from the homonymous city. Between fights with known monsters and fetch quests, you will feel at home and ready to accompany Saitama in training to become the most powerful hero in the world (however, I do not advise you to cross your own path). A less successful entry while playing in general but with a lot of lore to entertain fans, which simply does not justify an AAA PVP.

This game is a short and sweet reminder of why the One Punch Man IP is so popular, but there’s a lot left to be desired. A more refined combat system and a longer campaign would serve this title well. As it stands, the $60 price tag is far from worth it. If you love Saitama as I do, check this one out. If you’re a casual fan, give a few months to go on sale.
Fans of One Punch Man may find enjoyment in interacting with the characters from the anime, especially since it is an English dub, but for others, the repetitive gameplay won’t be enough to make them go the distance.
One-Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows is your standard anime arena-fighter. Combat and missions are repetitive, and the visuals are incredibly mixed. Interacting with the world of One-Punch Man and creating your own character is quite fun, as is combat at first, so the game is likely still worthwhile for huge fans of One-Punch Man. Otherwise, you may want to skip this one.
One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows is a game that can gladden a fan’s heart as they enjoy the nostalgia, the ability to create their own hero, fight the grand battles, and meet the series’ heroes. As for me, I was happy to play the game, but I will not go through with it again. One playthrough is enough.
Much like why our red gloved, yellow donned, pale-caped crusader does his job, we play video games for the exact same reason. One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows is a game that should be played, just for fun.
Even as a first outing for a game based on this highly entertaining intellectual property, One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows feels incredibly lackluster.
Let's be very clear: One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows is, all in all, a pleasant game, sometimes even fun, but that leaves a bitter taste in the mouth to anyone, even fans of manga, or anime. The fighting is the beating heart of the game experience, but it's burdened with commands that you'd hardly call farraginous and inaccurate. The technical sector does not do justice to one of the most beloved franchises of the land of the rising sun in recent years, and it leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. Give it a chance, only six of you are a die-hard Saitama fans and partners, otherwise you'll move on, even if reluctantly.

One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows might have a potential to be a fun adaptation of one the most unique animes, but in its current state it is nothing more than a mixed bag of fun ideas and annoying technical problems.

Fun and faithful to its base material, A Hero Knobody Knows works best when it can overcome its visible budget limitations.

However, unlike its source material, there’s nothing particularly special or engaging here, so unless you’re a massive fan of One Punch Man, I’d suggest looking elsewhere for your anime fighter fix.
One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows is just an average anime fighting game that tries to be a little different. But sometimes less means more. The game gives recommendations of five points out of ten. Unfortunately, this is a purely matter for the core fans of the series. But even they will quickly stop playing the game.

One Punch Man is a game filled with interesting ideas, but the execution left a lot to be desired and at the end feels like another cheap anime cash-in by Bandai Namco

One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows is unfortunately a disappointing experience in the universe of the popular anime / manga and a flawed addition to the arena fighting genre.

One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows is a very complete fighting game, it has many missions at our disposal however the game graphically falls short and its missions are somewhat repetitive. Many characters to unlock, online mode and many hours to enjoy.
