Not a Hero

Not a Hero is a single-player 2D side-scrolling shooter with cover-based mechanics. The game is set in a crime-ridden city where an anthropomorphic rabbit named BunnyLord is running for mayor. To boost his approval ratings, BunnyLord hires a roster of vigilante mercenaries to clean up the streets by dismantling criminal gangs, eliminating drug cartels, and erasing corruption. The player takes on the role of one of these hired guns, carrying out missions on BunnyLord’s behalf to ensure his political success.

Levels are presented as multi-floor buildings that must be cleared of enemies and objectives. Each stage has a primary goal, such as eliminating a gang leader or destroying evidence, alongside optional challenges like time limits or civilian rescues. Combat combines fast-paced shooting with a dedicated cover system. Players can slide into enemies, perform executions at close range, or use objects in the environment for tactical advantage.

The playable cast expands as missions progress, with each character offering different weapons and abilities. Some specialize in automatic fire, others in explosives or precision shots. Their movement styles and perks, such as faster reloading or unique melee attacks, encourage experimentation and replayability. Players choose a character before each mission, tailoring their approach to the objectives.

Secondary mechanics include scoring systems tied to style and efficiency, rewarding players for chaining kills or minimizing damage taken. Health is limited and restored through pickups found in the environment, while ammunition is constrained, requiring players to reload carefully. Completing optional objectives unlocks additional characters and contributes to BunnyLord’s approval rating.

The Super Snazzy Edition includes extra content not present in the original release. This version adds bonus missions, refined mechanics, and additional features while retaining the same core structure and style.
