The story of the game is primarily focused on Atom Eve, offering a mix of original content and retellings from the "Invincible" comics and TV series, particularly seasons one and two.

“Great story that portrays Eve's character well; characters are consistent with their show/comic counterparts.”

“If you haven't seen Invincible season one, major portions of the plot will make absolutely no sense to you.”
“While it's nice to leave Atom Eve with an optimistic ending, like the end of the last episode says, this isn't the end - I'm sure there's a lot more story.”

The gameplay combines traditional visual novel elements with simple turn-based combat and RPG mechanics, offering a balanced experience that enhances the narrative without overwhelming it. Players appreciate the depth of the combat system, which includes skill trees and strategic challenges, although some mechanics can be easily exploited. Overall, the gameplay is described as solid and engaging, providing a fun and chill experience with multiple paths to explore.
“I originally downloaded this game expecting a visual novel with no gameplay, I was very pleased with how they managed to mix RPG elements and turn-based strategy combat into the visual novel itself. Even though this game is only set to the end of season 1 of the show, they obviously took into account some future events and melded them without spoiling anything.”
“The gameplay and combat are good, but easily exploitable (you can just spam your shield move and cripple enemies with some moves). However, it's a really nice touch; some fights were actually challenging when it's you versus multiple enemies because you have to manage your limited HP and energy. There are 3 skill trees you can branch into while you level up and earn skill points, each one has its own advantages. I went with mostly dodging and counter-attacking.”
“A fun visual novel with light RPG mechanics, and it has some nice multiple path playthrough options.”
“There's also simple and fairly easy turn-based combat mini-games in between the traditional visual novel gameplay.”

“Imho, the depth of the narrative and gameplay systems is just right for a project like this.”
