One-Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows Reviews
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.
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.
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 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.
It's difficult to recommend a game as bland as One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows to anyone; even hardcore fans of the manga. It definitely has its charms but underneath the surface, an incredibly hollow experience resides.
One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows is a game with a decent premise but lackluster execution.
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.
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.

Ultimately, how we judge this One Punch Man game depends on our own expectations. It is not the most pleasant experience but if you can get over the flaws, it is not a terrible game overall.
For those that simply want to experience One Punch Man as a part of the narrative, there's no better alternative than A Hero Nobody Knows, even if it would fall apart were it not for One Punch Man's recognizable heroes reminding players what universe they're in.
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.

The game forces one to grind levels in a generic way while offering little satisfaction when hitting a milestone.
One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows is, unfortuantely, One Punch Man: A Game Nobody Will Play. It doesn't treat the source material with the respect it deserves and, ultimately, feels flat all things considered.
One-Punch Man fans have a lot to be excited about with this game and should definitely check it out! Even though the game is not centered around Saitama, it does closely follow the first few major story arcs in the manga, which makes this nerd very happy. The game is also simple enough for a young child to follow and enjoy (if the parent is okay with violence and chaos, that is). All in all, I give this game a 75 out of 100 for its easy to grasp combat system, endless player customization, and the beautiful visuals.
Not worth your time, not worth your money.

One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows is unfortunately not the hero this city deserves… or needs. While it does a good job of capturing the aesthetic and charm of the One Punch Man universe via its cast of recognisable characters and suitably ludicrous character customisation, it doesn't quite hold its own as a video game. Instead, it stumbles in its presentation, content and, crucially, it's combat. With more of a focused vision on what it wanted to be it might have been able to set itself apart, but this is sadly not the case here.
