Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
183 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I liked the characters, the possible builds and to follow the story.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
155 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story is refreshingly "low-stakes" for a superhero setting, and the conflicts are firmly grounded at the street level.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
74 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you can get past the initial, grueling start you'll be rewarded with some of the best turn based combat you'll find anywhere and hundreds of hours of entertainment.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
66 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
In my opinion this was a great design choice, as it helps to keep the learning curve smooth and manageable.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
62 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This brief description is however, underselling what is one of the best implemented systems for character customization I've ever come across.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics and music give the game a unique atmosphere I can only describe as "cel-shaded noir." Think Humphrey Bogart meets Golden Age Batman, but with significant Eastern influence.
