"Mission--It's Complicated" Review

Publisher:  Schnell Games LLC

Genre:  Visual Novel

Summary:  In order to save the world, you must start a superhero team and ensure two of the heroes form a strong bond.

Gameplay:  You select which missions your superheroes go on and you choose which heroes to pair up for these missions and how they solve them.  This affects both how successfully the mission goes and the strength of the connection between those heroes.  Depending upon their connection, the heroes also have dates which you influence by offering advice.

Style:  The game's cartoon-comic style is wonderfully pleasant and humorous.  Dialogue is handled text-message style, which fits well with the casual atmosphere the game projects.  The music is good and there are lots of fitting splash picture inserts.

Story:  The game has a fun, relaxed mood while still managing to create interesting, detailed characters in the six members of the superhero team.  They have a variety of powers, sexualities, and genders, which makes for good replay value seeing how the various pairings of romance and friendships go.

Conclusion:  "Mission--It's Complicated" is a fun game that goes quickly but offers good characters, great dialogue, and superhero romance.
