After all, youвЂ™ll be able to complete the game quickly if you can finish every fight using only one attackвЂ¦ To base a game on a character that can beat people in one punch is going to be impossible for it to be a challenge. All I knew is that the main character is Saitama and that he can beat up people with only one punch! If this happens, they're technically able to damage each other, but remain Immune to Flinching, and if one's life meter is reduced to zero they suddenly realize that Bargain Day at the local supermarket is almost over and take their leave.To be completely honest with you, I knew next to nothing about the One-Punch Man manga/anime prior to reviewing this game. Unstoppable Force Meets Immovable Object: It's possible to get a fight between two Saitamas.Takes One to Kill One: According to this game, the only character that can defeat Saitama is another Saitama.This is balanced out by him being unavailable for the first 270 seconds of the fight. Purposefully Overpowered: Saitama is just as hideously broken as you'd expect.One-Hit KO: Unless it's a Mirror Match against another Saitama, Saitama knocks out any opponent with a single punch.Non-Lethal K.O.: If Saitama runs out of health (almost always against another Saitama), he will announce that he has to go to the store and leave.Eventually he finishes it with a punch that thankfully doesn't destroy the player character but does knock them on their back. Naturally, you're not gonna win this because Saitama's health bar barely even chips. Hopeless Boss Fight: Fittingly the final boss battle in story mode is against Saitama himself.You must survive for 4 and a half minutes while outnumbered 3-2 until Saitama arrives and steamrolls the opposition. Hold the Line: If you pick Saitama, the game becomes this.That said, there's a Dream version that balances him with the rest of the cast, but justifies it as being All Just a Dream if you win with him. Normal Saitama is his canon, god-tier self. Gameplay and Story Integration: It's how Saitama is able to be both as canonically broken as he should be, and balanced with everyone else.Choosing him forces you into a 2-on-3 fight (unless the other player chooses Saitama as well), but if you're able to Hold the Line and run down Saitama's timer, you win. Difficult, but Awesome: Saitama is built to be this.Character Customization: Not dissimilar to Jump Force and Dragon Ball Xenoverse, players create their own characters that serve as the central protagonists of the game's story mode.This is based on the dream he had against the subterraneans and could finally fight on an even keel and enjoy himself. Brought Down to Badass: There's also a 'Dream Version' of Saitama who wears pajamas and has his powers diminished so he can fight fairly.During the story mode, Saitama does this multiple times for the protagonist, as the latter has to stall against powerful monsters that the former took down in canon.Big Damn Heroes: Enforced with Saitama: he can't be used at the beginning of the fight, and is meant to arrive when the player is struggling to hold out against an opponent.Your actions don't really change the course of things more then just stall for time for a majority of missions until one of the top heroes finally arrive. Story mode is set during the first season and has your player character joining the Hero Association and going through the events of said season up until the fight with Boros.

Though he mellows out pretty much instantly when Saitama assigns the protagonist to be Genos' disciple, implying this is mostly from his desire and desperation to learn from Saitama. Here, his desire to become Saitama's disciple clashes with the custom protagonist's own, resulting in him becoming very short with the protagonist and even threatening them with violence (and being 'erased') despite knowing they're a fellow hero. Adaptational Jerkass: In the source material, Genos is nice enough to others despite being The Comically Serious.
