Review

Very interesting premise and it’s very well written. Honestly I’m very impressed by what you can do. I’ve never really been the hero or the villain type which is why I like this game. Typically villains are too foolish and heroes are idealistic. This game allowed me to be a good villain and to me that’s helping the people whilst also providing for your henchmen. Honestly a great game and this is only what I got from 2 chapters. Fun to play sadly you have to pay to go further. Thus I’m only able to rate it based off the 2 free chapters and the fact you have to pay to play any further. The writing and story and gameplay are great but that is only up to the 2 chapters I’ve played through.
