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

The story is very linear, with a few paths you could take with very obvious choices. Even then, the choices you make don't really matter because you get the same immediate response. There are a few good parts in the writing, but the rest is mediocre. Instead of being sprinkled throughout the story, exposition is given through lengthy reports or speeches. Worst of all, the story tries really hard to force you into a romance with a certain character, whose 'flirting' borders harassment.

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.

Surprisingly really exciting and innovative. Although, with a genre such as Superheroes, it would be better if the reader gets to customise their powers/skill sets and approach to problems instead of set-in-stone powers. That would definitely help with the immersion. Otherwise, a solid experience for an entry read. Good world building.
