Infinite Lives Superhero chaos, your rules

The map runs from the city streets to the stars, and every corner of it is up for grabs. You pick a side, heroes or villains, and fight to secure territory for your cause, while hundreds of other characters with their own powers try to do the same. Allegiances change as often as your costume, so today's ally can be tomorrow's problem. The city's dozens of locations are packed with interactive weapons and destructible scenery, animals included: if it stands there, it can probably be thrown at someone. Win enough of the map and the balance of the shared universe tips your way, until the cycle starts over.

The combat system borrows from wrestling games, then gives every single button a range of superhuman abilities to trigger. That makes it easy to pick up and genuinely hard to master: the same inputs that throw a punch can launch a power, depending on how you build your character. You start by writing your own origin story, surviving a city full of supernatural violence while working out who you really are. Grow into something more than human, or lose the spirit that makes you less than one. Multiple choice dialogue shapes the story as you go, and the camera switches between cinematic angles to keep the fights looking dramatic.
