About this game

So you're a villain now? Let's see if you survive the experience.

"Fallen Hero: Retribution" is a 1.45-million word interactive superhero novel by Malin Rydén, where your choices guide the story. It's entirely text-based—without graphics or sound effects—and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

Be the telepathic villain you always wanted to be and embark on a career as a thief, mob boss, hero hunter, or anarchist in your own bespoke base. Will you start to regret your actions, or double down and commit more heinous crimes? No matter your choice, your old hero friends in the Rangers will be out to stop your criminal rampage. To them, the fact that you are on the wrong side of the law is more important than the crimes you commit, no matter your motivation. Luckily you can remain one step ahead of them
thanks to your telepathic powers, but it would be best to not push your luck and get too close. Or reveal your secrets.

Hopefully, your past stays buried. If not, get a shovel.

Ratings and reviews

Absolutely amazing. The writing is excellent, the setting is a fascinating mix of superhero and cyberpunk, the characters have great development (especially the ones that didn't appear much in the last book), and the story and twists kept me engaged from start to finish. You have a LOT of different ways to build your character's goals and personality which obviously gives a lot of replay value. My one complaint is that some of the options only make sense if you want to be stupidly evil.

Sharply written, funny pretty consistently, with some knock-out conversations both for emotional and comedy purposes. Follows and builds on the last game wonderfully. I have spent many hours replaying the game with certain angles in mind, and there's a lot of value in chasing down some of the more nuanced reactivity. I heartily look forward to the sequel, even if I don't envy the author the things that need to be tracked and written to account for all the variables by the end of this one.

So glad to finally see a sequel to Fallen Hero. I played and replayed the first story multiple times, but with 3 years and no updates, plus the cliffhanger, I was about ready to give up. This part of the story filled in a lot of the blanks, but opened up a slew of new questions. I'm hoping the next game is the biggest yet and gives a resolution to the many plots happening in the background
