The game's story is minimal and primarily revolves around completing timed missions, which often require players to wait for progress bars to finish. While there is a light-hearted and comedic tone to the missions, the gameplay is heavily focused on waiting and managing resources, with many players expressing frustration over the reliance on in-game currency to expedite progress. Overall, the narrative aspect is overshadowed by the repetitive nature of the missions and the energy system that limits gameplay.
- “The goofy art style/vibe of the game complements the dumb story.”
- “For the first few dozen - 200 levels, the game has a 'story' line.”
- “Hero Zero is a time-based RPG where your focus is sending your character out on missions to get currency and increase their stats.”
- “The game is also bogged down by free-to-play timers on top of the mission timers; there are a decent amount of modes, but they all amount to 'sit here for 33 minutes for a tube of lipstick you can throw at people and 500 XP.'”
- “The majority of gameplay is just waiting for the mission complete timer or buying items for your character with coins or real money currency.”
- “Terrible, it's one of those games that ask you to wait 1 minute to do every single action, and increase in time (wait 1 minute for the first mission, wait again for another one) and reward you no fun or nothing aside from a waste of time.”

The humor in the game is generally well-received, with many players appreciating its lighthearted take on the superhero genre and the inclusion of funny dialogue and quirky character customization. However, some reviews note that the humor can be hit-or-miss, with instances of lower-quality jokes and a repetitive gameplay experience. Overall, it offers casual fun with a decent amount of humor, making it enjoyable for players looking for a light-hearted gaming experience.
- “Gotta say great job overall and it certainly does what's advertised: making light of the superhero genre and all its many laughable failures while tickling your funny bone.”
- “The game is funny and even pleasant, so you might even like it enough to support it and get some basic packages that will make it that much more smoother and enjoyable.”
- “Personally, I'm not a fan of this kind of genre, although the cartoonish game design is colorful and eye-catching, and the hero/character customization is hilarious with those extreme costumes.”

The gameplay is criticized for being overly simplistic and heavily reliant on time-gating mechanics, requiring players to either wait for timers or purchase in-game currency to progress. Many users express frustration with the lack of immersion and depth, describing it as a basic tapping experience that feels more like a chore than engaging gameplay. Changes to the training system have further diminished the enjoyment, leading to a decline in player satisfaction.

- “The stamina/energy mechanic needs to be reconsidered. If I wanted my time to be limited, I would do it myself, not have a developer decide for me.”
- “Gameplay consists of basic screen tapping to 'run' a 'superhero hideout', where you will quickly find you're time/paygated and must buy mobile peasant in-game currency with real-world money to progress.”
- “There is no gameplay whatsoever, none.”
- “The majority of gameplay is just waiting for the mission complete timer or buying items for your character with coins or real money currency.”

Overall, the game's aesthetic is polarizing, appealing to those who enjoy whimsical designs but potentially off-putting to others seeking more sophisticated visuals.

- “The graphics are amazing, and the outfits are really funny. There are more than 400 different outfits that you can earn and dress your character however you like.”
- “Great game made me think of Mystery Men when I first looked over the graphics.”
- “Unless these flash-based graphics really appeal to you, it’s simply a game of whose numbers are higher.”
- “The steam store page made it look funny, but actually opening the game I found the visuals to be annoying.”

- “I will be honest though, this game freezes a lot.”
