As a kid, I frequently imagined myself as superhero, along with my brother, sister (at times), and our friends. So I can identify with Playworld Superheroes, the new release from UK developers Starship.
Within the game, players assume the role of a child with a vivid imagination. Players pick which child they’d like for an avatar of sorts, and then take the child in and around a tree house that contains a sundry of refuse materials that players will use to cobble together a makeshift costume for the imaginary superhero. For example, a cardboard box is turned into a helmet by cutting eye-holes and adding various colors from crayons, and such. The child then is equipped with the tinfoil and cardboard, and then the imagination is applied, switching the perspective of the players from a goofy looking child in a tree house to that of a slick looking superhero in battle armor, completely stylized and equipped by the player in the “real world”, and go about saving the world from the evil Golumites, over nine different missions.
