Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
231 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Unfortunately the actual dispatching minigame is poor, but the story and voice acting are excellent, so its definitely worth picking up on a sale for fans of the superhero genre.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
132 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay elements are incredibly light, and the episodic structure also requires players to engage with Dispatch’s story differently than they would other story-centric genres, such as the CRPG.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
85 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Along with the amazing voice acting present it is also filled with an excellent licensed soundtrack.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It is amazingly animated with some of the most exciting visuals this year, the writing is also top notch with just the right amount of humor sprinkled in.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
31 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game shines in its character design and world-building, which are both thoughtfully crafted and engaging.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
5 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
For example, when the mission description mentioned fighting enemies, I’d send heroes with the highest combat stats.
