I've seen several small press RPGs by now and each one has at least one good point. This one is no different, but it carries the unusually high cover price of $17 for one 57 page plastic ring bound book. The art and print are on par with other small press efforts, but the spelling and grammer are not (mid-evil appears throughout the text as do others). I would not normally mention such things in a small press publication but for $17 the world expects more.

The game mechanics lean toward playability rather than reality but are still more complicated than necessary. Each character attribute has a different range for example. Special cases, like criticals or knock-outs, are likewise overly complicated. It does appear however to represent the genre well enough (but not for $17).

Characters can be one of 31 classes of hero (some even have subclasses), which cover every possibility yet represented in the genre. There were occasions where I felt classes overlapped too much to warrant a distinction, but that is just a matter of opinion. Each class is distinguished from the other by the origin of its super-ness and/or the powers it includes.

This is not a bad game, but it is not a great one either, it has its momments. Superhero gamers would do well to pick it up for $5 or less, any others should look for it for less.
