★★★★ A Google user 9/24/2018 v1.0.2
Oh no no no. I love your games. You guys make em' killer whenever they come out. Except this one. You added so little detail that no real story can be painted in my mind. Whatever detail there was felt dragged out and forced; as if it were just necessary to add more words. Every choice you make in this story will one way or another lead up to the same ending, except you choose how you get to end it. What was the point of even adding all of these characters if no real love/hate relationships would ever start to begin with? C'mon y'all. I love your games, I truly do, but this was just a disappointment.
★★★★ A Google user 2/23/2018
Got caught up in the excitement of being able to make my own powered character, made the mistake of paying for it. Ending and plot is empty and pointless, it starts good but is a scam for a glass cage.
★★★★ A Google user 1/25/2018
Hated it. Are you sure you wrote Lords of aswick?
★★★★ A Google user 6/16/2017 v1.0.2
Thid yame could have been fun but looks like hosted games got desperate for money as uasuall and made every chapter except the first 2.99 Why not just make it watch a certain amount of ads that is equivalent to the 2.99? My sugestion is move fast to make this so otherwise people are gonna move to the Better games like Magium or paradigm city which do ads not charge people out front im sticking with this until it is removed
★★★★ A Google user 1/11/2017 v1.0.2
Books are art, art is meant to be shared. That is a fact. You make people pay to enjoy your artwork. People don't want that but they do it anyway. How about you at least try a different sales method, ramp up the adds and remove the in app purchases. If may not be as profitable but you never know unless you try. I just hope you're a human company with morals rather than a money grabbing corporate mess.
★★★★ A Google user 9/22/2016 v1.0.2
Needs more characterization,more relationships and a more in depth story
★★★★ A Google user 9/14/2016 v1.0.2
Why on earth does this cost anywhere near as much as the actual good ones like the lost heir??? Terrible, no stats too short and rail roaded!
★★★★ A Google user 6/29/2016 v1.0.2
The story is just really boring for a super hero story and it is way to dragged out with the boring parts.
★★★★ A Google user 6/22/2016 v1.0.2
Please save your money and get something else very linear not worth it OK premise but it feels like he got bored of writing this and rushed to finish it.
★★★★ A Google user 5/12/2016
So linear it hurts. I tried to be a dick and be evil but no matter the story is still the same, don't buy it...please it's not worth the money
★★★★ A Google user 4/23/2016
Way too much exposition and not enough dialogue. Also, power progression is laughable and the "Choices" you make for powers virtually all yield the same results
★★★★ A Google user 4/23/2016
Hardly any freedom of choice. Extremely black and white. Just huge textwalls. Abrupt ending.
★★★★ A Google user 4/23/2016
Didnt feel like my choice on powers mattered at all
★★★★ A Google user 4/21/2016 v1.0.0
Ends just as it starts to get interesting. No romance options that I found in 2 playthroughs despite asking what gender you are interested in. If the game was abit longer it would be good but as it is its not worth the money.
★★★★★ Christopher Hundley 8/26/2021 v1.0.5
Excellent concept, but the story wasn't very engaging, the grammar was at max a third grade level, and the choices didn't really feel like they changed anything about the story. I also wish there were more power options and chances for your character to actually evolve in any way, rather than just remaining stagnant in their abilities and personal development.
★★★★★ A Google user 5/17/2019
it's missing alot in terms of everything
★★★★★ A Google user 12/18/2016
Why do all your games have small bits then the rest costs money. It could have been great if you didn't care so much about money.
★★★★★ A Google user 12/17/2016
I dislike the pay wall (I understand you gotta feel like your making money but why cant you just make it so they get adds at the end of each point and if you don't feel happy with that then add a timer or something). Anyway my main dislike is the fact that you spend the first chapter and a half making your character and right before you get into a key point the creators yank the rug right out from under you and forcing you into a wall. I have only found two interactive stories that were actually free -.-
★★★★★ A Google user 6/26/2016
The story was pretty quick but also pretty cool, it's also cool how you pick your powers but I've realized it doesn't seem to make a difference in different play throughs ( BTW they don't even have super speed), also their is no romance, which surprised me cause they asked you what do you prefer. The ending was also an abrupt one. This game had huge potential, but they squandered it, I don't recommend it.
★★★★★ A Google user 5/4/2016 v1.0.2
Storyline is very linear, your decisions don't really have any impact. You just play through the same story no matter what choices you make. Stat system makes little sense and has little impact. The story isn't bad, and I like the universe and characters, it could be really enjoyable, but the lack of depth really kills it.
★★★★★ A Google user 4/26/2016
Too short, too rush
★★★★★ A Google user 4/25/2016 v1.0.1
it had a good idea but was rushed through like the author got tired of writing it. not really worth the money.
★★★★★ A Google user 4/24/2016 v1.0.1
I finished in maybe 3 hours. Not worth your money compared to many other similar games out there. The idea of this one is that you are one of the first heroes, but they almost immediately show you that heroes have been around for a while, so that goes out the window. Play heroes rise or community college hero instead.
★★★★★ A Google user 4/23/2016 v1.0.1
Felt like the author got uninterested and rushed to a finish. Had a decent setting and theme but lacked real substance and felt really short.
★★★★★ A Google user 4/21/2016
Says download pending when I try to get it installed
