This is an adventure/RPG hybrid set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland
in the northeastern US. Toxic pollution and war have reduced the US to a state of
anarchy except for the occasional city-state. You are The Crimson Tape, new
leader of the Superhero League of Hoboken, with the amazing power to Create
Organizational Charts. You'll be joined by Tropical Oil Man ("capable of raising the
cholestoral level of his opponents"), Robomop ("an intelligent kitchen appliance
capable of cleaning up almost any mess"), Iron Tummy ("capable of eating spicy foods
without any distress"), Captain Excitement (his "aura of lethargy and dullness can
put many opponents to sleep instantly"), and Mademoiselle Pepperoni ("capable of
seeing inside a pizza box without even opening it"). The goal of the game is to
complete missions assigned by the Commissioner and relayed via the League's computer,
Matilda. Gradually, you'll raise Hoboken League's ranking, and finally be able to
take on the evil Dr. Entropy who is seeking to thwart the rebirth of civilization.
As your League's ranking and prestige grow, new superheroes will join up and make
your life easier. Gameplay includes standard third-person adventure game interaction
similar to other late Legend Entertainment games such as Companions of Xanth and
Death Gate, top-down map exploration, and turn-based combat (similar to Bard's Tale).
Heroes have the usual range of stats (brawn, brains, toughness, and health) and
equipment slots, along with their superpowers. |
