About the Game

Professional assassin turned amateur campaign manager Steve is charged with cleaning up the city by an anthropomorphic rabbit and mayoral candidate from the future named BunnyLord. Now Steve and his expanding roster of dubious heroes must wield their unique skills to shoot, slide, dive, and take cover behind a political platform built on ethics, accountability, and an inordinate amount of gunfire. Eliminate the criminal underworld of the city’s three major districts and persuade undecided voters to your cause, tackling the issues that matter by putting a gun in the mouth of those issues.

Through the power of ISO-Slant™ technology and a wasted youth, London-based developer Roll7 (OlliOlli) delivers the greatest 2¼D cover-based indie shooter of all-time, ever.



Next Level Shootouts – Use reasonable force unreasonably in a dynamic mix of run-and-gun gameplay and cover-based shootouts. The intuitive quick-snap cover system lets you slide, roll, and dive into cover, dodging enemy fire before fighting back with tackles, executions, and 100s of bullets.

Roster of Not Heroes - Select between 9 different heroes, each with their own distinct gameplay style and crime murdering abilities. Blast the city’s scum through doors with Cletus’ a shotgun, slice them in half with Kimmy’s katana dash, or simply bash crime in it’s terrible face with Ronald’s hammer.

Dynamic Missions – Go ham on primary objectives and (sometimes random) secondary goals but be prepared for unexpected mid-level events that turn the tables on the anti-heroes in an instant. SWAT teams, gun-toting elderly, helicopter gunships, pandas, pugs and suicidal samurais stand between you and victory.

ABOUT ISO-Slant™ TECHNOLOGY

Developed over six years and $22.5 million, the revolutionary ISO-Slant™ technology enables game developers to reach the sweet spot between 2D and 2½D perspectives. Through the liberal, almost irresponsible use of ISO-Slant™, Not a Hero developer Roll7 is able to radically alter the standard 2D pixel art action game into an unbelievable 2¼D visual tour de force. For more information or to license ISO-Slant™ for your own purposes please contact the ISO-Slant™ team at @ISOSlant on Twitter.

Not sure how I never reviewed this game. It's been years since I played it but this game is like a virus. I had to hide it from myself to stop playing it. Love the quirky characters and humor. I am itching to play it

Great fun! You really gotta go for all the achievements to really enjoy the game to its fullest, though! Some of the challenges turn the game into a puzzle shooter of sorts. Tricky & engaging!

It's amazing. It's one of the most hilarious and fun Devolver games ever. And yes, it's the one you might have missed playing other amazing projects, but you really should give NOT A HERO a chance. Funny premise, funny

This game came out 10 years ago (2015) and even now I still find myself returning to play it all the time. This is one of those games that’s pretty easy to pick up and play but a bit more difficult to master, especially
