DC Heroes United: A Mobile Interactive Comic Book Experience
Dive into the world of DC Heroes United, a new interactive series available on mobile devices. This weekly experience lets you guide the actions of iconic heroes like Batman and Superman, directly impacting the storyline. Developed by Genvid, the creators of Silent Hill: Ascension, this series offers a unique blend of comic book storytelling and player agency.
Ever scoffed at comic book choices, thinking you could do better? Now's your chance! DC Heroes United puts you in the director's chair. Watch the Justice League – Batman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Superman, and more – unite for the first time, and influence their journey with your decisions. Your choices will determine the fate of characters, adding a thrilling layer of unpredictability to the narrative.
While DC has experimented with interactive storytelling before (remember the Jason Todd poll?), this marks Genvid's first foray into the superhero genre. The action unfolds on Earth-212, a universe still grappling with the emergence of superheroes, offering a fresh perspective on familiar characters.
A Fair Shake for Genvid
Let's give Genvid credit where it's due. Superhero comics often embrace over-the-top action and humor, a style that contrasts with the darker tone of Silent Hill. This shift in genre might actually play to Genvid's strengths.
Furthermore, DC Heroes United includes a standalone roguelite mobile game, a significant improvement over its predecessor. The first episode is now streaming on Tubi. Will it be a critical success or a flop? Only time will tell.
