Feb 11, 2016Not A Hero is a John Woo movie in pixel art, with a demoniac, smooth and frantic gameplay, a lot of brutal action and a bizzarre humour. Be a good citizen, vote for BunnyLord.
-
Feb 4, 2016With a very high-pace and addictive gameplay, Not A Hero will have you enjoying every single second you play. On top of this, the sarcasm in this game will have you laughing constantly, with a very clever statement about politics.
-
Feb 2, 2016Just like Roll7's previous outings, Not A Hero is a challenging affair that will leave you coming back for just one more try. Except it's not just one more try; it's been 30 minutes and you're trying to cope with being addicted to the frantic gameplay.

Feb 13, 2016Roll7 delivered once again a fun game with solid gameplay mechanics and superb audio/visuals. If you’ve loved Hotline Miami, Not a Hero is the perfect game for you.
-
Feb 11, 2016Not A Hero is pretty upfront about what it intends to deliver. There are no heroes here, just as there aren’t any deep mechanics or unexpected twists in the gameplay. What the game does have is an incredibly memorable cast of villains, most of whom you’ll be controlling throughout, and a solid core mechanic that unfortunately gets stretched a little too thin.
-
Feb 2, 2016As newcomers to the pixelated shooter genre, Roll7 has succeeded in producing a fun, challenging, and gory experience with Not a Hero.
-
Feb 2, 2016Not a Hero is great indie game. Developer Roll7 has done a great job, this game is brash, bombastic and brutal. It’s also really quirky and overall it’s loads of fun to play.
-
Feb 2, 2016Not a Hero is a funny and frenzied game that will have you laughing out loud as you attempt to conquer its varied range of challenges, even if there are a few issues with its cover system and level structure.
-
Feb 2, 2016Fast and frantic, Not a Hero provides some serious satisfaction when things are running on all cylinders. There’s nothing lack diving through windows and taking out bad guys, even if it is classic 8-bit sprites. The humor feels a bit forced at times, but the action wins out in providing a ton of fun.
-
Feb 2, 2016Not A Hero is a thumping good shooter experience made all the more exiting through an intriguing art style; unrelenting gore and a relatively non-linear composition to pleasantly fleshed out levels.
-
Feb 2, 2016A riotous take on the side-scrolling shooter from the house that Olli Olli built, Not A Hero is brash, clever and entertaining blaster; even if its old-fashioned sensibilities may grate with some.
-
Feb 2, 2016Not a Hero is a very special cover-based shooter in 2D deeper than it looks. Unfortunately, we can finish it in a few hours.
-
Feb 2, 2016Not a Hero is the pixelart counterpart to a lot of Jason Statham movies: The two-dimensional action is brutal, over-the-top and redundant – but tremendous fun.
-
Feb 2, 2016Not a Hero is enjoyable and fun, although the plot sections are relatively boring and the whole concept is burdened with the feeling of repetition. Pixelated style works, as well as the cover system, although Roll7 apple doesn't fall far from the nonsensical violence and the politically incorrect joke, which could have made it a better game.
