About this game

Do you have what it takes to become a legendary Powered hero?

In "Heroes Rise," Powered heroes have become the ultimate celebrities, and you dream of joining the A-List–but to get there, you'll first have to take down evil Powered gangs, compete with deadly rivals, choose a worthy sidekick, team up with famous champions, and prove to all of Millennia City that you're a true hero.

"Heroes Rise: The Prodigy" is an interactive novel where you control the main character. In each chapter, your choices determine how the story proceeds.

Will you play as male or female? Gay or straight? Crusade for justice, or gun for money? Will you work as a team with the world-famous Millennial Group, or will you steal their spotlight?

How high will your hero rise?

Ratings and reviews

Played this game a few years ago, and went back to it recently to see if it still held up to my memories. The first thing I'll say is, the concept and worldbuilding is definitely interesting, but the biggest flaws to me is the writing that can be pretty messy at times. I also think that this story is definitely more suitable for "teenage" readers, as there were some moment that really made me cringe as a 25 y.o. Also, the control you have over your character's actions is often lackluster.

the writing is very good, unfortunately as a game it falls flat. it doesnt do a great job of signposting what choices leverage which attributes, nor does it have enough detail in action descriptions to let you figure out what is the best choice. Paul Wang's infinity series, The Lost Heir Series, and Kyle Marquis' games all have roughly comparable writjng with better game mechanics. try those games first.

The story was interesting enough and I enjoyed many of the characters. That said, I would happily punch my character in the face. The way he'd gush over every hero that would appear on screen made me cringe so hard. Plus the fact that any time he entered a fight he always seemed to humiliate himself, no matter what I tried. It felt like I had no control on my character's personality or actions and it is very frustrating.
