“That’s how astonishing it was. It made me want to touch your testicles.” Hello folks Brandon here, and that is one of the hundreds of insane lines you will hear from Bunny Lord in Not a Hero. Since last week nothing major came out I decided to download and give a shot the new game (to PSN) published by Devolver Digital. I must say they do not disappoint in the slightest.

It made me want to touch your testicles.” Hello folks Brandon here, and that is one of the hundreds of insane lines you will hear from Bunny Lord in Not a Hero. Since last week nothing major came out I decided to download and give a shot the new game (to PSN) published by Devolver Digital. I must say they do not disappoint in the slightest. So let’s grab our shotguns and afterwards go to a diner for some celibately milkshakes.
The story is weird, but quick to explain. Bunny Lord is an anthropomorphic rabbit from the future whose goal is to become mayor by cleaning up the town. How do you clean up the town? Quite simple actually you murder everyone who gets in your way. Now you do not play as Bunny Lord you play as an array of unique characters each with their own set of murder skills. To list a few you get Steve, Cletus, Mike, and Jesus. (Not Jesus but pronounced Hey-Zeus) The great thing about the story in this game is at no time does it ever feel like you are doing the right thing; which fits perfectly into the title because you are definitely not a hero. In fact you are if anything a mixture of the Punisher and the Joker, or at least Bunny Lord is. When you kill a gang leader they tend to beg for their life and Bunny Lord will brutally and without mercy kill them in the most 8 bit violent way you can see. I adore this because not only is this a very interesting take, but it leads for some funny ass dialog. I remember when I got more than half of the hostages killed in this one mission, and while celebrating at the diner for completing the mission Bunny Lord talks about how basically everyone makes mistakes, but oh well. I love a game that doesn’t give a **** about if you save everyone just as long as you slaughter the bad guys in the process. The story keeps up the crazy, but it is a text based so if you hate reading well just enjoy the gameplay.
The gameplay is pretty amazing it is an 8 bit side scrolling cover based shooter. (If that isn’t a mouthful) The game is hard as **** with it all relying on your skill, memorization, and just overall good timing. As I already mentioned each character plays differently. They all use different guns and some have useful abilities such as reloading while running, or shooting through doors. What helps this game immensely is the fact that if you die (which you will) you respond instantaneously which can help against the losing rage. Just like games as Super Meat Boy if you die during the level in Not a Hero you must start the level over again. It can be frustrating, but the levels are only two minutes at a maximum. Sadly from what I can tell the game isn’t a very long game, but has the extra objectives to unlock new characters to add to the replay value. Saying that if you beat the game and unlock all the characters there isn’t much more to do. With levels being very liner this seems like a great game to play for a slow weekend.
Overall with the game only being $15 you are better off saving you money. I praised it for gameplay and story which is fun and violent as hell the games length and content in general is just lacking. I’m definitely not saying to skip it by any means. I am saying wait for it to either go on sale for like $3 or become one of the PS Plus free games of the month. That is the best way to get this because this is the perfect game to play if you only have about 20 minutes to spare on it. I give this game a 3/5.… Expand
