Highly underrated. I never understood why the game developer abandoned it and made a lame battle royale style sequel. The game uses a managerial setup combined with fighting mechanics, giving the player a lot of autonomy to live in the world as a superhero. It lets you build your own hero and, heck, even your own universe all together to play in. There is really no game like it.

I very much wanted to like this game. I have enjoyed text-based adventures in the past, and I hoped that this would be a fun way to role-play as my own created hero. Right off the bat, the game doesn't really do anything to explain how it works, or what you are suppose to be doing. So with little direction, I created my character and am offered to perform one of ten actions for the "turn". The first action I saw was...

The only other review on here says the game doesn't explain much, and that's definitely true. On the other hand, the base engine built for this game seems incredibly customizable, think gurps or mutants and masterminds, and I think I'll enjoy the challenge of figuring out the mechanics of the game. I should note that you will absolutely hate this game if you don't enjoy pen and paper games, or are expecting a world...

I haven't played hours and hours of this game, yet, but I think it's good. Okay, so that's the simple bit. Now I'll go a bit more in depth. This game is almost entirely text, but it does come with quite a few images of the characters that are very interesting and well-made. It doesn't have a tutorial, which would have been nice, but it is fairly easy to get the hang of once you know what you're doing. The default...

The game is badly designed and has very little progression. When you start out you have 2 options grab an existing character or struggle with your own to make an emotionally stable character before they have a breakdown. If you do happen to make one either by exploiting the flaws in the system or pure luck then you are stuck grinding away for any progress. This isn't really even a game but a design your own hero...

The game has potential. Unfotunately, that's all that it has at this point. While this is one of the most customizable games I have seen in a long while, customization on its own is hardly enough to carry the title. The lack of any kind of documenation or tutorial leaves users to flounder about (usually maddingly as one gets defeated right off the bat). The lack of goals (other than simply leveling up) also is a...

For $19.99: 4 out of 10. For $9.99: 6 out of 10 For $5.99: 7.5 out of 10. Honestly, it really depends on the price you pay for this game. I REALLY LOVE THIS DEVELOPER, TEW 2013 and WMMA 3 and 4, are so damn good. Unfortunately this isn't as well off. It isn't bad by any means, but it could get boring for most players as you play for a couple hours. Please don't pay $19.99 for this game. It isn't worth it. I paid...

It's baffling. It's the only word for this game. Hell, I'm not even sure you can class CBH: TGC as a game. It's like a storytelling application or, perhaps, weird simulation of nothing at all. It's an interesting idea. At its core, CBH: TGC is supposed to allow you to create a superheroic character and simulate their lives with a complex, tabletop-esque system. And, to a certain extent, it does do this. The problem...

As of the typing of this I've played this 110 hours. I guess I like it, so here's a review! Anyone remember Romance of the Three Kingdoms VIII? That's 8 for you youngsters. You make a character during the China's war filled Han Dynasty and proceed to do whatever. Join a lord and fight battles, be a bandit, go farming, wander the lands learning crap, or take over territory to call your own. Whatever you do,...
