### 5/5 — SO FUN

*2021-06-06*

I’ve now played through this twice, once a few years ago and again yesterday. It’s just so gosh darned fun!

### 5/5 — Love this book

*2021-05-17*

I got this book on a whim and I couldn’t stop reading it. I enjoyed every part of the story. If you like solo adventure story’s then get this series of books.

### 5/5 — Best Text-Based Game imo

*2020-03-30*

By far the best text-based game I’ve played. I’ve been playing this game since it first came out it gives me just the right amount of entertainment when I have nothing else to do or just to pass/waste time when I’m busy.

### 5/5 — Wonderful game.

*2019-09-23*

As far as writing and plot goes, this game would be worth the price even without being able to alter the course of the story. With that ability? One of the best, most enjoyable games I have played.

### 5/5 — Great.

*2019-06-05*

Very fun little story. Decided to download after listening to an old episode of the heme design round table. Happy that I did!!

### 3/5 — Not Choice Of’s best

*2019-03-25*

Whereas Choice of Robots, Choice of Magics, Tin Star, and Choice of Rebels offer nuanced, well-flushed-out, fascinating adventures, Heroes Rise is comparatively juvenile and silly. The Superlatives offers a vastly superior superhero text adventure.

### 5/5 — Great story, glitchy stats..

*2019-01-16*

As far as writing goes, this game is awesome. Thrilling, suspenseful, amazing. The writing is intense and very well conceived. However, a couple things need work. As my hero won the hero of tomorrow award, I noticed one of the options (the question asked how you felt about the award itself) mentioned there was a 100,000$ cash reward that came with receiving the award. Well, I’ve checked and checked my stats, and am still at the same amount I was previously as far as cash goes. I bought the trilogy pack and haven’t really needed the 100k yet, but I’m still wondering.. where’s my money?!

### 5/5 — Fantastic and addictive game.

*2017-09-26, version 1.4.0*

I was hooked on this from the moment I started playing,  the many ways you can shape your character make this game very addictive and the story is also fabulous. I found myself playing this game multiple times even before moving onto the second one. I also love the fact that there is the legend guide in order to help you effectively get a perfect score, although I didn’t use this until the second or third play through as I wanted to try and work out for myself how this was done. Very talented writer and I look forward to playing more games in the future.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2017-05-16, version 1.3.0*

Brilliant game. Very well written and hugely addictive, couldn't stop reading till I had finished! 

Play how you want to play and be who you want to be.

### 4/5 — Fun story, just wish their was an option to become a villain later on.

*2017-05-16, version 1.3.0*

Needs more choices at times, but it was a fun ride.
