In One Punch Man, its RPG sections are dramatically improved, but it seems to have come at the cost of the combat. The combat in Jump Force was fun and varied, but the RPG elements were an awful, monotonous chore. Jump Force and One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows seem to have switched priorities in their design. However, it was still fun interacting with characters from the show and having your OC inserted into the main One Punch Man story like an anime Forrest Gump.
It still suffers from issues like characters popping in on the map, no fast travel option between different locations in the city from the pause menu, and not even a dash option to walk faster in the overworld. Once I realized this, my enjoyment with the game increased dramatically.
You can even interact with other players in the Online Mode, exchange emotes, and help each other out in combat. You also complete quests, improving your rank and social standing (think social links from Persona but far simpler), and get new items and moves to customize your character. You create a customized character that can be one of several different classes that can change their combat style.
It didn’t dawn on me until about four hours in what kind of game One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows truly was. Thankfully though, your options for customization open up dramatically by the middle of the game. The choices given for customization at the beginning are paltry and don’t leave much room for creativity. You start by creating a custom character joining the Hero Association to protect the city from monsters and threats of all kinds. While One Punch Man does have its significant share of issues, the new effort from this team has improved greatly on the formula established by Jump Force, bringing us a game that is far more enjoyable than Jump Force but still not quite there yet.ĭuring the first few hours of One Punch Man‘s single-player campaign, I found myself pretty bored.

Though it went through a rocky beta period, it seems that the main connectivity issues have been ironed out. As Shonen Jump is set in our world, you can fight as your favourite characters against backdrops such as Times Square, which is all the more impressive as you unleash an ultimate move on your opponent.
