America's #1 reality show for heroes is back for another season! Harness your superpowers to steal the spotlight, win votes, and save your sister! "The Hero Project: Redemption Season" is the first installment in a new series of interactive novels by Zachary Sergi set in the "Heroes Rise" universe. Your choices control the story. It's entirely text-based--129,000 words, without graphics or sound effects--and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination. In a contest where everyone has superpowers, your opponents can cause earthquakes and explosions, but you're an average Ani-Powered who wakes up with different animal attributes every day. Will your hawk eyes or canine claws take you far enough in the competition to satisfy the only person who can help your sister? And what happens if winning isn't enough? As you advance, the decisions you make will transform viewers' ideas of what it means to be a hero. Will you fight for your own goals, or make sacrifices for the good of society? Strive for what you believe is right by following the rules, or take down the whole system with more radical methods? Would you take wealth and fame over changing the world? Choose wisely. It's Redemption Season. • Play as male, female, trans, or nonbinary; gay, straight, or bi. • Begin a new story in Millennia City, influenced by your actions in the "Heroes Rise" trilogy. • Play as a new hero, in a new season of The Hero Project!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Bionic Heart at Free against Hero Project Redemption Season's $4.99. Bionic Heart also leads on rating (4.3 vs 3.7) and ads (none vs shown). Hero Project Redemption Season's advantage is ratings volume (31 vs 3) and review sentiment (70% vs 59%). On in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Bionic Heart is free to download; Hero Project Redemption Season costs $4.99 up front. Bionic Heart sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Hero Project Redemption Season sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Bionic Heart holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hero Project Redemption Season has 31 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Bionic Heart's written reviews are positive against 70% of Hero Project Redemption Season's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Bionic Heart ships an update monthly, Hero Project Redemption Season every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
