One-Punch Man: Road to Hero

This game has kept me constantly interested even if there is constant grinding, the rewards are high with the right persistence and determination. Many people seem to complain about the percentage drop rates of 3 stars (S Class) or even 1 stars (C class), but honestly that seems fair enough to even out characters and team balance. When I first started the game and saw that you could either roll characters or save up shards for characters, it didn’t really bother me or make me say that anything seem unfair. There is a long of RNG for drawing the characters or for most drops. I do agree that perhaps the 10x recruit for the current banner of 2500 diamonds may seem like a bit but after a few days you can accumulate a lot of diamonds from daily missions, road to be strong, and from chests from stages. I do not consider myself free to play, but at the least borderline close to it since the most I’ve spent on this game is 5 dollars. I’ve had this game for a decent amount of time and I am currently level 42 with 310k power team, the grind is long but necessary to become stronger. The graphics are very satisfying, but there could always be more improvement in all circumstance of gameplay, I look forward to future updates and possibly the addition of more playable characters.

I will say that I have played my fair share of gacha games throughout my years and sadly the summoning rates for OPM is absolutely terrible. It’s much harder for f2p folks to grind as obtaining summon tokens are scarce, and the fact that you only have a 4-5% chance of pulling a 1 star is quite horrifying. I would say that you should start by taking out random in game items such as the food (exp) and money out of the summon pool. At least give players shards and raise the summon rates. The gameplay is fairly simple but another point of concern would be the talent system. Upgrading your units is extremely difficult in this game compared to other gacha games such as dokkan, brave, etc. The means of obtaining evolution materials can be rather hard especially with the fact that they somewhat force you to use a guild. My last point of concern would be the energy usage and recovery for this game. The fact that this is the only game in which doesn’t give you a full stamina recover after leveling up is ridiculous. The fact that it takes 10 hours for me to have a full stamina bar is astonishing. Please lower the cook down rate and implement a stamina recover. Add a means for f2p players to keep playing no one wants to spend gems on energy when it’s hard as is to even find gems in the first place. This game is still new and I still have high hopes for this game. Hopefully more characters and gameplay mechanics will be implemented in future patches!

From a base perspective this really isn't anything special as far as this genre goes. But if you love one punch man, you will love this game. They have had such attention to detail that when certain heroes or mosnters go down in a fight, they take the positions they did in the anime. Like when stinger gets beaten he gets a bloodied nose like when he fought the sea king. But it has a couple major points that need attention right now. Firstly is guilds. I think you should be able to use your best guys for every level, not have to wait a day to use them again. The not being able to challenge floors several times is fine, but not being able to use your good heroes just demotivates me from helping my guild. Energy also needs work. The thing I hate most in these types of games is waiting for energy to recharge. We need more things to reward us with energy. And lastly, accesseries. Having to fully level and accessory to fuse it is fine. Having the ability to fail leveling them up is fine. But having both at once is not. What ends up happening is you take 30 minutes to level everything and it completely drains your cash, and then you still need to level up the new accessories after fusing. We need one system or the other. Want I want is to fuse non fully leveled ones.

Overall the game is amazing it plays as it should for its genre. For those that have tried the Dan machi game I believe you’ll enjoy this one as well. Although I only rate this a 4 star I do believe some simple changes could push its potential to 5. For instance a key to a grinding game such as this is how often you can access it for example stamina. In this game you have to wait a full 15 minutes for 1 stamina (which to my knowledge so far you can only obtain through random shops, leveling up your monthly pass, and paying for it in the shop with diamonds) leveling up also replenishes stamina but it isn’t a complete refill. The story line is relatively easy even as a free to play player but funding is definitely an option if you want to progress faster. Gameplay uses interesting hero/villain skills and actually represents each character perfectly. Lastly summoning is by far the best I’ve experienced compared to other games of the genre. Saving up the free summoning tokens along with all the free diamonds they give you daily can bring you plenty of characters down the road. You can also receive free legendary unit shards from your guild members as well as saitamas mini game each day.

Love this game. I came from playing raid(a money hungry game for sure) and it was a relief to play a game where I know and recognize the characters and love the lore. This game is very F2P friendly. I haven’t spent a dollar and have 4 3-star characters and currently placed 24 in the arena. I play and lit and definitely would get the season pass if I thought I could get to level 80 without having to buy levels. Note to developer: make it easier to level up in the season pass and offer more samurai shards bc 60 shards will get u the character but u will only have 10 left over. You wouldn’t even be able to level up a single skill to level 2. Only 2 other opinions. 1: I agree with everyone when they say energy takes too long to replenish. I’ve been using diamonds to replenish energy bc it’s so slow. 2: It’s too hard to get shards. My suggestion is to add a system with a little reward just for playing your game. Do like Pokémon go where u can equip a character as your “buddy” and every so often u get a shard (candy) for equipped character. 3 stars obviously would take longer than 2 and 2 would be longer than 1. Thank you for this game though I really do enjoy it. Also add guild wars!!!
