Heroes Rise: The Prodigy

Played this game a few years ago, and went back to it recently to see if it still held up to my memories. The first thing I'll say is, the concept and worldbuilding is definitely interesting, but the biggest flaws to me is the writing that can be pretty messy at times. I also think that this story is definitely more suitable for "teenage" readers, as there were some moment that really made me cringe as a 25 y.o. Also, the control you have over your character's actions is often lackluster.

Surprisingly really exciting and innovative. Although, with a genre such as Superheroes, it would be better if the reader gets to customise their powers/skill sets and approach to problems instead of set-in-stone powers. That would definitely help with the immersion. Otherwise, a solid experience for an entry read. Good world building.

Experience this story to experience the other two. This one is an intro, a beginning, and really only sets the foundation for the adventure that unfolds in "The Hero Peoject" and "Herofall". The Prodigy is only the beginning and sets the tone for everything else that happens.

Overall, I enjoyed the game. The author really managed to create an enjoyable story that I was thoroughly entertained by. Not to mention how interesting the worldbuilding is. However, there are several flaws regarding thos: -The lack of interactivity. Many points in the game will force your character to react in some way with no choices given whatsoever -Biased stats. The game seems to encourage the player to lean towars justice, lawful, defense, team, with many reprecautions to other stats.

the writing is very good, unfortunately as a game it falls flat. it doesnt do a great job of signposting what choices leverage which attributes, nor does it have enough detail in action descriptions to let you figure out what is the best choice. Paul Wang's infinity series, The Lost Heir Series, and Kyle Marquis' games all have roughly comparable writjng with better game mechanics. try those games first.

The story was interesting enough and I enjoyed many of the characters. That said, I would happily punch my character in the face. The way he'd gush over every hero that would appear on screen made me cringe so hard. Plus the fact that any time he entered a fight he always seemed to humiliate himself, no matter what I tried. It felt like I had no control on my character's personality or actions and it is very frustrating.

Wonderful! Fantastic story, meaningful choices, deep characterisation, great replay value and the story itself is extremely well written. It's emotionally engaging, so that you become deeply immersed in the story world.

"Hero or villian" did a better job at making you feel like a hero or villian. I can tell the author had a fun story thwy wanted to write, and thats okay to have your own vision, but i found the choices you make in this game are mostly cosmetic save for the epilogue which wont come into play much in the sequal. The spiderman vibe of trying to be a hero and failing at every opportunity because of extrenuating circumstances and being blamed for it are overhearing.

Zachary Sergi (the author) has managed to do something in this trilogy of stories that doesn't often happen to me, he made me genuinely care about the characters. While, yes I do believe that the choices in this one don't really matter at first, they do matter in the long run over the three stories. I truly recommended this series to anyone that enjoys actions superhero stories and if you just like a thrilling story or rant sure where you stand on them I say give it a go anyway, you might just like it

I didn't feel like I had much freedom when I played this. The romantic subplots are handled very poorly, and the protagonist's backstory is too set-in-stone for this to be a real Choice Of game.

I've played a lot of Choice Of games and this is by far the worst among them. There are no actual choices in this game. You have the option to select one thing or another but the following page will always provide the same exact result. A love interest exists in the game too but the gender doesn't change depending on your own and they give off a very.. rapey vibe. The author should've just wrote a short story since that's all this is.

Pretty good game! I like that it has the two sequels. Of course you must buy the last two. Wish they were a few dollars less. But overall I would recommend this game to anyone who likes superheroes.

Best Game Ever!!! One of the more enjoyable games you will find, you will feel immersed and develop a bond with the characters making the the experience all the more greater. :)

I have really enjoyed it. This is my third time downloading to replay! If you enjoy chose your own adventure I highly suggest this series!

Had a lot of fun playing this, really hard to stick to your own ideals in this one. Great work!

I loved this game. It was enjoyable and I looked forward to playing it a lot! I feel like I could really connect with the characters.

For those who have good imagination. The possibilities are very good, and different. You really have a feeling that you are involved

Needs an option to save and load the game at different points of the story

I loved the game! Sometimes it was hard to do what you actually thought was right.

It's really fun. Good variety of choices. Well built world.

Very fun and interesting storytelling game twist ending is too predictable though

Disappointed, no true choice.. and ending feels cheated. Just my opinion, but seriously let down by this one.

Your choice didn't matter at all and the ending is horrible

Awesome writing, engaging story

Wonderful Story - I bought the whole series

amazing and I love playing the series
