Bunnylord wants to be mayor and he's going to accomplish it by defeating crime... with ultraviolent mercenaries! That's where you come in. Not a Hero is a comedic run-and-gun platformer that incorporates cover shooting mechanics.

Gameplay captures a cinematic feel to shoot-outs as you dive from enemies, dip in and out behind walls, and violently scatter the enemy pixels across the walls in a handful of levels which take the form of sky scrapers and tower blocks.

The comedy draws on British culture featuring the full spectrum of English accents paired with comedic stereotypes of British folk from the 2010's. Each mission feels like you're re-enacting a Guy Ritchie film as you tumble around tower blocks and take out roadmen decked out in chains, hoodies, and puffer jackets.

While it's always nice to see proper British representation the gameplay gets repetitive fast. Each characters gimmick is their unique weapon and voice acting but it does little to keep the interactions fresh as you'll be dipping in and out of cover from start to finish. Funny at times but not much else to it.
