About Hero of Not Our Time
Hero of Not Our Time is a 2D top-down action game developed and published by Hide Head and released on 9 October 2020. Drawing on elements of 90s classics, it sends you through neo-noir dungeons in search of a way out, destroying all kinds of monsters with magic and weapons as you clear one location after another.
Your arsenal is yours to build. Assemble unique weapons from a whole pile of parts with no customisation restrictions, and create magic spells that draw on your own blood. Spiritism and rituals heal you and make you stronger, so every run through the dungeons blends gunfire with dark sorcery.
Upgrades go further still: electronic chips and improvements can be connected straight to your skull, making each fight more frantic. Crowds of enemies keep coming, new foes appear along the way and the difficulty increases over time, all driven by an energetic EDM soundtrack in Synthwave and Darksynth styles.
It is a fast single-player action game with bloody, violent combat and deep weapon building. It runs on Windows 7 and supports English and Russian text. The minimum configuration requires an AMD E1-6010 APU at 1.35 GHz, 2 GB of RAM, AMD Radeon R2 Graphics or a GeForce GTX 480, DirectX 9 and 500 MB of free disk space. The game is rated USK 18 and is a great pick for adult players who enjoy top-down shooting, retro styling and experimenting with weapon builds.
