Very fun!

I was worried about buying this due to the price but I do not regret it one bit. I've had so much fun with the story and achievements that I've played through the app multiple times already. The romance could have been fleshed out more but it still satisfied. Some choices did seem limited in that they essentially led to the same results.
It made me laugh

I enjoyed myself thoroughly and laughed my butt off. The choices were hilarious and allowed me to feel like a crazy, funny, unpredictable villain. That being said, I felt little danger with any of my choices and it was more like reading a book than an interactive novel. I had fun, but I feel the choices lack substance that would make many play through a fresh and new. I enjoyed the threesome romance option, but the love interest was more of a side note than anything else. I still enjoyed it immensely and hope for an improved sequel.
Poor in Comparison

I love the concept of being the villain, I really do. But if you compare this to some of the other Choice Of games, it really lacks both in content and choices. The price is simply too high with too light of content and choice for it to be a serious recommendation. STEER CLEAR, and go play a DIFFERENT Choice Of game.
Worth Every Penny!!!

As a general rule, I don't review things. That being said, it takes something truly special for me to go out of my way to praise something like this. This is, without question, my favorite story that I have read in a long, long time. There was a little bit of everything that I could have possibly wanted. Some people want to travel the world, leaving death and destruction in their wake. I am not one of those people. I have dreamed of being a super-villain before, and this allowed me to pull it off perfectly. While there are dark and moody super-villains, this focuses more on the light-hearted, sympathetic perspective. Yes, you rob banks and kill people, but you also have fun with your minions, do paper work in noisy cafés, meet friends and foes, and talk on the premier super-villain social media sites. You also take baths, and go on vacations, and who said that the super villain can't pull a prank on their foes every now and then? Many people bought this hoping for a serious game. I was hoping for a good story. I got a bunch of laughs, a good (if rather wacky) story, lovable characters, and enough love to give this a five star rating, despite my typical no-reviews policy. Good job authors, good job.
An entertaining story, but not quite a game
BOBULANCE
Make no mistake, the writing and world that have been created here are fantastic and engaging. It's definitely a wild ride into classic comic book tropes that will satisfy the most theatrical individuals. Unfortunately, the app seems to view the "options" aspect of a choose your own adventure as more of an added feature rather than a primary component. Decisions frequently serve no purpose, planning points can be ineffective (and are given out quite randomly), and, worst of all, choices are constantly nullified, either by the character having a contrived reconsideration, or by some random event occurring that makes you unable to act upon your choices. It can be very frustrating when this occurs. So while this is definitely a fun way to spend an afternoon, just know that it's more of a good book than a widely interactive choose your own adventure.
Best CYOA I've played in a while
Wolveriot
This game is great; funny, great writing, great game world, great characters, it has it all. I've played and beaten this game probably ten times or more and I love it just as much as my first play through. My only complaints are that it feels short, needs some more customization in terms of lairs sidekicks and stats but other than that it's amazing. Please make a sequel soon!!!
Devilishly Awsome!

This is what choice games is about. Not every story is going to be the best or speak to every reader but the mechanics of this game are great. It is Fun with a capital F, with lots of possible endings and worth replaying many times.
