    The game's story is largely criticized for its lack of depth and engagement, with many players noting that it consists mainly of repetitive missions and minimal narrative context. While some appreciate the gameplay mechanics and superhero experience, the absence of a compelling storyline or character development leaves the game feeling shallow and unfulfilling. Overall, players express a strong desire for a more fleshed-out story and varied missions to enhance the gaming experience.

    • “Great storytelling and amazing gameplay overall.”
    • “I would gladly pay for a full game with this feel, with some story to give the game some direction, and a huge world to fly or run around in.”
    • “I really hope this game takes off, I'd love to see an actual story line, cosmetic options, different and more frequent random events.”
    • “The story missions are generic, bland, and completely uninteresting; I would see this (in its current state) as a sandbox to blow off some steam.”
    • “There's no story, sense of progression, or strong replay value that the game could've easily had given its concept because it recycles the same kinds of things you start doing at the very beginning of the game and spreads it out everywhere.”
    • “If this game had some kind of storyline then maybe it would have been more interesting, but sadly there wasn't anything except beat challenges and people.”
  • gameplay277 mentions

    The gameplay of the game is generally praised for its smooth mechanics and satisfying controls, particularly in flying and combat, which evoke a strong sense of power. However, many players note that the experience can become repetitive quickly due to a lack of content and variety in quests and boss mechanics. While the game shows great potential and is enjoyable for short bursts, it ultimately feels more like a tech demo than a fully fleshed-out title, with calls for more depth and additional gameplay elements.

    • “The gameplay is fast, fluid, and impactful, and as you'd expect from an Unreal Engine game, everything looks great.”
    • “The mechanics for both combat and flying are a masterpiece, the seamless flow between action animations is breathtaking, the gameplay is beautiful and the animation is wonderful.”
    • “The flying mechanic is incredibly fun, as are the animations and movements that have been built around it.”
    • “The gameplay is terrible at best, mediocre at worst.”
    • “My only real complaint is that there isn't that much to do, and the basic gameplay can get very repetitive since achieving the highest rank means grinding out the same content over and over again.”
    • “The mechanics during the boss fight are broken, half of the text is in Japanese whilst the other half is in English meaning you basically have to guess what you have to do 50% of the time, and overall it's just not fun not to mention severely lacking in content.”
  • graphics128 mentions

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many players noting that while the visuals are decent and occasionally impressive, they lack the polish and detail expected from larger titles. Some users appreciate the unique art style and smooth animations, but many call for significant improvements, including better character customization and overall graphical enhancements. Overall, the game shows potential but requires further refinement to elevate its visual experience.

    • “The visuals, and especially the level of detail in this open-world city, are awesome.”
    • “Graphics are awesome; the game makes you feel like a Dragon Ball Z character and it downloads fast.”
    • “The graphics are beautiful, and the game is enjoyable.”
    • “Flaws should be expected from a student project, such as odd graphical bugs and weird collision physics.”
    • “Nothing in this game makes sense; poor graphics and controls, and the optimization is awful. I really don't know why they released it.”
    • “I have to say I am totally impressed with this game; it is awesome, I absolutely enjoy the flying and the awesome combat mechanics in this game. However, it looks like it has the graphics from the PS2 era.”
  • music34 mentions

    The music in the game is generally praised for its epic and dynamic quality, enhancing the superhero experience and creating a sense of urgency during challenges. However, many users note that the limited number of tracks leads to repetitiveness, and there is a desire for a more extensive soundtrack and a music gallery feature. Overall, while the music contributes positively to the atmosphere, it could benefit from more variety and polish.

    • “A good never-ending challenge/superhero game with super smooth controls and a very epic soundtrack.”
    • “The atmosphere is great, music is epic as such a great hero deserves, and the advertisements look awesome.”
    • “Its really fun with a badass music collection in-game that makes you feel like a hero.”
    • “Something about flying around a city while generic action music plays is underwhelming, and I know I've used that word a lot in this review, but that's seriously how I felt when playing the game.”
    • “I understand what it's trying to do and it does somewhat work, but you're essentially doing the same tasks over and over while the music tries to maintain the hype and adrenaline but falls flat.”
    • “Obviously it needs some polish, some more things to do, and maybe some more music tracks because boy does it get repetitive after a while, but it shows promise.”
  • stability21 mentions

    The game's stability has received mixed reviews, with many players reporting significant bugs and glitches that disrupt gameplay, such as freezing and NPC issues. While some users have experienced smooth performance, particularly on the Steam Deck, the overall consensus indicates that the game requires substantial fixes to address its stability problems.

    • “No, but in all seriousness, this game runs great on the Steam Deck.”
    • “Runs great.”
    • “Omg, I love this game! It runs great and is a very cool superhero game. I would love it if it had a story, and even without a story, this is a great game. If it were a full-fledged superhero game, I would buy it. The fighting is awesome, the flying is awesome, and the overall design of the game is awesome. If this were a full-priced superhero game like Spider-Man, I would definitely get it. Great job, developers, with this awesome game!”
    • “It glitches out within 2 minutes of gameplay.”
    • “For some reason, my game freezes and backs out. I tried reinstalling it, but it still does the same thing. I can't even play it, and I know it's not my PC because my specs are way higher than needed to play this game.”
    • “The game was pretty buggy - the language settings didn't work (wanted to change from Japanese to English, but it kept changing back), the NPCs in the game kept freezing and teleporting around the map, and the game froze 2 times during action scenes.”
  • grinding20 mentions

    Overall, players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and repetitive, particularly when it comes to boss fights and character progression. Many reviewers express frustration with the lack of variety in gameplay and the excessive effort required to achieve higher ranks, leading to a sense of boredom and a desire to stop playing. While some acknowledge the game's fun elements, the grind often overshadows the enjoyment.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “A bit grindy... sometimes.”
    • “One long, tedious grind.”
    • “My only real complaint is that there isn't that much to do, and the basic gameplay can get very repetitive since achieving the highest rank means grinding out the same content over and over again.”
    • “Game gets lame fast; it becomes very tedious.”
    • “What's particularly frustrating is that the one boss formula the game uses is very difficult and tedious to fight, requiring mashing a lot of m2, but not quite in the way the tutorials suggest.”
  • humor20 mentions

    The humor in the game is widely praised, with many players finding it hilarious and enjoyable, particularly in its early moments. While some note that the humor can be dark or ironic, it generally adds to the fun experience, making it a standout feature despite some gameplay challenges. Overall, players appreciate the comedic elements and animations, suggesting that the game effectively delivers laughs and lighthearted moments.

    • “You can get the full gist of the game in the first 15 minutes, but it is a hilarious good time while it lasts!”
    • “Decently old game, but it still delivers some easy enjoyment and often funny moments, for the low price of free.”
    • “Overall, I think it's a funny game that can make you blow off some steam. It has quite some potential, and I would like to see more games being produced by those guys.”
  • optimization16 mentions

    Overall, the optimization of the game has received mixed reviews. Many players report severe performance issues, including crashes and inability to run smoothly even at lower resolutions, while others have experienced decent performance on higher-end systems. There is a consensus that significant improvements are needed to enhance the gaming experience, particularly in graphics and stability.

    • “I believe that with the right enhancements and optimizations, this game could reach new heights and captivate even more players.”
    • “Excellent optimization and a good framework to build on; I'll wait to see what becomes of this.”
    • “I don't know how to say it first, but this game is absolutely beyond my expectations. I can't believe the graphics and controller run so smoothly on my rig, so I can say that this game is optimized for some specs. The gameplay is so addictive.”
    • “Cool idea, terrible optimization; the game crashes within seconds even if it's on low quality, and as seen in the comments, I don't seem to be the only one.”
    • “It can't even support 4K, and the performance is bad. I can even run Microsoft Flight Simulator, but this game can't even run smoothly in 1080p. The character doesn't have a cap and looks silly, the map is super small, and I can't fly fast enough; it's just a simple concept.”
    • “Nothing in this game makes sense: poor graphics and controls, and the optimization is awful. I really don't know why they released it.”
  • replayability12 mentions

    Overall, the game's replayability is considered weak, with many players noting a lack of depth, variety, and meaningful progression. While some enjoy the flying and destruction challenges, the repetitive nature of missions and limited mechanics detract from the overall experience, leading to disappointment for those expecting more engaging gameplay.

    • “Fun challenges: the flying and destruction challenges are engaging, testing your skills while offering replay value as you aim for higher rankings.”
    • “☐ replayability to the extreme!”
    • “Maybe even a small indie team could make more of it but it definitely shows the potential for this kind of superhero game with this or similar power set... looking at you... son of el.... flash, maybe even 'shazam' (really captain marvel) edit; hey devs maybe patch in a bunch of achievements for added substance/replay value.”
    • “The replay value is weak and makes the game a lot less enjoyable than I first anticipated.”
    • “There's no story, sense of progression, or strong replay value that the game could've easily had given its concept because it recycles the same kinds of things you start doing at the very beginning of the game and spreads it out everywhere.”
    • “Honestly, from the ads and reviews I was expecting a fun game where you play as a hero and save a city, but oh boy was I wrong. It's basically just a left-clicking simulator. The controls are awful, the powers are ridiculously limited, and the game has no depth or replayability. Every mission is the exact same. This is by far the worst game I have ever played.”
  • monetization10 mentions

    The monetization aspect of the game is largely praised, as it is completely free with no microtransactions, ads, or subscriptions, which many players appreciate, especially considering it was developed by a small group of students. However, some users express disappointment with the game's quality, feeling that even though it is free, it does not provide a worthwhile experience. Overall, the absence of monetization issues is seen as a significant positive, despite mixed reviews on gameplay quality.

    • “No microtransactions, no subscription, no ads, just free.”
    • “For a free game (no ads, no microtransactions) made by a small group of students, this is pretty excellent quality.”
    • “This game is amazing; it's so fun, you can do so much, and there are no microtransactions in the game, so that's a huge plus. I would recommend it to anyone.”
    • “Honestly, from the ads and reviews, I was expecting a fun game where you play as a hero and save a city, but oh boy was I wrong. It's basically just a left-clicking simulator. The controls are god awful, the powers are ridiculously limited, and the game has no depth or replayability. Every mission is the exact same, the combat is terrible. This is by far the worst game I have ever played. Even though this game is free, I honestly feel like I wasted money. If you're thinking about playing this, don't waste your time. It's bad, so bad in fact I wish there was a very negative rating to give to this game. What a waste of time and effort; the 2 gigabytes of storage on my computer that it requires to install would be better filled with quite literally anything. This game isn't a game; it's a joke.”
    • “☐ free, but has microtransactions.”
    • “Not to mention that it's completely free and that the download is 2.2GB (no microtransactions either since this is just a class project, but still worth trying).”
  • emotional8 mentions

    Players consistently express that the game evokes strong feelings of empowerment and heroism, likening the experience to embodying iconic superheroes like Superman. The emotional impact is highlighted as a standout feature, with many describing it as a heartwarming and exhilarating experience that makes them feel superhuman and invincible.

  • character development2 mentions

    • “If it has competent gameplay in its combat and flying controls, along with good character designs, it will be a must-buy for me.”
