Bloodthirsty hordes of demons, criminals, clowns, and undead have flooded the streets of the once semi-relevant metropolis. The pantheon of the most famous and charming superheroes are dead or AWOL. Who's left? Well, uh… you guys are. Pick a 'hero' and fight to save Mayor McTrinkle and the, like, two untouched buildings left in the city.

  • Enjoyable art style with engaging comic-inspired superheroes and characters, adding charm and personality to the game.
  • User interface and quality of life features are lacking, including clunky UI, unreadable text, poor hitbox feedback, and missing skill cooldowns.
  • Initial gameplay can be grindy and difficult, with some weapons feeling weak or unusable and early progression feeling slow and punishing.
  • Technical issues such as crashes, problematic cloud save syncing, and minimal sound design reduce overall polish and player experience.

  • gameplay

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally enjoyable and smooth, with an engaging metaprogression system that enhances player control over time. However, it can feel grindy and the initial experience may be rough, especially due to the early characters not fully showcasing the game's potential.

    • “The very beginning is a little rough, but with a little grinding to learn the mechanics and enemy behaviors, the metaprogression eventually lets you feel very in control.”
    • “I thought this was also a fun new mechanic.”
    • “The gameplay is smooth.”
    • “I was drawn in by the title and the art style, but the gameplay feels very grindy, even for a survivors-like.”
    • “The very beginning is a little rough; I'm not sure the first unlocked characters best represent what's possible, but with a little grinding to learn the mechanics and the enemy behaviors, the metaprogression eventually lets you feel very in control.”

  • grinding

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the game notably grindy, especially early on, with upgrades feeling underwhelming and item pickups sometimes hard to evaluate. However, persistent grinding helps in learning mechanics and unlocking meaningful metaprogression, eventually providing a stronger sense of control and improved gameplay experience.

    • “However, I feel like it's too grindy; upgrades feel lackluster, it's hard to tell good pickups from things you need to avoid sometimes, and it's hard to see projectiles.”
    • “I was drawn in by the title and the art style, but the gameplay feels very grindy, even for a survivors-like.”
    • “Your first 8 hours of actual playtime (about 45 runs), you'll be grinding on normal of the first stage to start getting the first tier of the higher perm skills like crit and knockback.”

  • graphics

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics feature a cool and appealing art style with interesting alternative superhero designs, which draws players in. However, while visually engaging, the overall gameplay may feel grindy despite the strong artistic presentation.

    • “The art style is cool.”
    • “I was drawn in by the title and the art style.”
    • “The art style is decent; alternative superheroes look fun.”

  • emotional

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users find the emotional experience of the game impactful but express frustration and disappointment due to technical issues with cloud save synchronization, which affected their progress and overall enjoyment.

  • story

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story features a classic lineup of heroes tasked with protecting the mayor from a bizarre and diverse array of enemies, combining humorous and dark elements. It revolves around a single intense mission with high stakes, complemented by tactical gameplay involving AI turrets and scavenged weapons.

    • “You have all the classic heroes at your disposal like Sewergirl, Miss Noxious, Bangkok Blaze, and many more, with one mission: protect the mayor at all costs. The cost is mostly your sidekick dying in a gruesome way, from a horde of demons, undead, clowns, assassins, criminals, and many other weird enemies coming from somewhere, using your trusty bullet-spewing AI outsourced turrets and powers/guns that you scrounged in your 20-minute run.”
