On the Run: Rogue Heroes

So I started off with a "Recommend" review where I laid out some of the structural issues with the plot and how the story moves too quickly for you to process any of the emotional arcs or get to know any of the characters well. And after like three paragraphs I decided I'd change my review to "Not recommend." Unfortunately, when I clicked the thumbs down to change it from a thumbs up, Steam erased everything I had written. So I will try to be brief: First, it's ok. If you really love interactive fiction and the concept sounds interesting, go ahead and check it out. You're not going to hate this story, but you are unlikely to love it. I'll explain why that is the case - at least for me. The story moves too fast. Slow down, let us interact with the various characters we meet. The MC has five different parents, we meet all of them after having known only one for our entire lives, and we barely communicate with any of them. I truly don't understand why I ever had to speak to Commander Jeff. Why couldn't I just say "Hey mom, I need to rescue my sister. Help me."

Do you like superheroes? Do you enjoy watching them use powers and take on challenges? Or perhaps... You'd rather be bored, questioning that which is in front of your eyes, hurting your brain? If it's the last one?! This is for you! First I have to say this: that guy on the cover? With the glasses? He's hot. But I can only assume that's Liam (as it matches his description). However, Liam can't be romanced. He is in a wheelchair, which isn't a deal breaker either, and a computer genius... But we only meet him in one scene and then..............? Why did I tell you about this guy? Because he was the most memorable and interesting of the characters. You have an option to turn people either male or female for "love interests". Sadly, they wont act any differently depending on the choices you made. That said... Micah is always and constantly clingy. To the MC. Any action he did... I kept questioning his motives. Alex is the "Drama Queen/King" of the group. Constant eye rolls and negative comments. Cristian... "Knockout"... Is a nice dog bred with a noble knight... Multiplied by ten. IF, IF YOU EVER DARE to do something WRONG or IMMORAL... He will be whiny an…

Would've loved some more built out moments with characters between scenes, and the ending felt VERY abrupt, but otherwise great CYOA!

Good

while the beginning is good it is somewhat feel rushed, many abilities though somewhat power fantasy story. around 7/10.

7 / 10 Could have had more character development, but otherwise alright. Should have blown up the building. Ah well.
