Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
219 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.
129 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.
