If 2016 has taught us anything its that its good to be the bad guy. I was able to spend a couple of hours playing the newest Free to Play Strategy RPG, Super Villains War: Lost Heroes, and I walked away thinking that after more time with the game, developer CJKE could have a hit on their hands. Unfortunately, any good experience I could have possibly had, was marred by an long, drawn out, tutorial which is un-skippable.
The game begins with an introduction to the game and world. After a monster invasion years ago the world found itself in trouble with resources becoming scarce. People ended up fighting with each other and stealing from each other, as the land was filled with lawless villains. Your job as the boss of a city, is to recruit villains, capture enemies that you face, and use strategy within your battles in order to conquer the world.

From what I played so far, I appreciated the art style and the addition of being able to capture and convert your enemies. Really made me feel like Amanda Waller, from Suicide Squad. The tutorial, early on the games major drawback, just appeared to me to be pointless, boring and not as well implemented as some of the more recent RPG’s. But if you get through that initial frustration, it appears that there is a fun game beyond. It will just take a little more time with the game to give a true review.
