The story is presented in a dynamic comic book format, featuring dramatic panel reveals and a blend of engaging dialogue reminiscent of classic 80s superhero comics, particularly appealing to fans of X-Men. While the narrative suffers slightly from an overload of character backstories, it maintains a solid B-movie plot with interesting character abilities, making it an enjoyable homage to comic book storytelling. Players are advised not to read the comic beforehand to fully appreciate the unfolding story.
- “Really enjoyed the story so far; it has this nice feeling of an X-Men-styled group of talented young people mixed with Superman space adventures.”
- “A love letter to comics, the story is great (I'm still around the middle); I really like the idea of a comic book within the game.”
- “It's not just a visual novel or a scanned comic book; you don't just read page by page, but you get dramatic panel-by-panel reveals, whole page panning, and a focus on dialogues. The art and story capture the essence of old 80s superhero comics, and if you like old X-Men comics, you'll find the art and writing very familiar and enjoyable.”
- “Do not, as I did, read that comic before you play the game, as you will then know the story you play through, spoiling the experience somewhat.”
- “The quality of the story suffers a bit from trying to cram in all the heroes (and the villains) flashbacks, but overall it's a solid B-movie plot, and the characters' abilities are interesting enough to make the graphic title engaging in its own right.”

The graphics are vibrant and surprisingly high-quality for the game's price, featuring a nostalgic art style that enhances the overall presentation. While the comic book aesthetic adds charm, some players find it lacks the self-awareness seen in similar titles, making it feel somewhat cheesy. Overall, the visuals contribute positively to the experience, despite minor storytelling issues.
- “The graphics are colourful and surprisingly good at this game's price point, and the story and the comic you play through is also fairly well made.”
- “Art style - I liked this pretty well and had somewhat of a nostalgic feel to it for me, but nothing groundbreaking here.”
- “I'll also really dig the art style!”
- “The graphics/comic book cutout look to the turn-based battles felt kind of cheesy but without the cheekiness and self-awareness of a game like Cardhunter or Epic.”

Overall, the reviews indicate a low level of replayability, with many users suggesting it offers similar replay value to typical comic books. Some express that the only way to enhance replayability is by increasing the difficulty, which does not significantly improve the experience.
- “Zero replay value - if you want to bump up the difficulty maybe, but that's not really getting it done for me.”
- “Not sure about replayability or length; I assume it has as much replayability as any other comic book.”
