Basically I started replaying the game and to my surprise it is one of the few games for which my nostalgia goggles held up. It really is genuinely good (I dare say it might be Ken Levine's best game). Of course if Gold/Silver age comics put you off you stand no chance of liking the setting, it is super cheesy, people get hit through walls with lampposts and somehow survive, that sort of stuff.
But what surprised me the most think this game has my favorite RTWP combat system mainly due to maps with a lot of vertical elements, destructible terrain, a lot of hard counters combined with many methods to work around them if you approach carefully and the thing I liked the most was the mobility. Due to having quite a few abilities that push characters around, flying, teleportation etc. many of the bigger battles actually take place across multiple screens and it really does feel epic at times due to this. I do admit that the gameplay only comes into its own after the first arc where the 4 main guys meet and you have full parties.
So anything similar ever made?
