Ren'Py - Completed - SuperPowered [v0.45.02] [Night City Productions]

v0.45.03

Playing the game honestly is a terrible mistake because the amount of grind in this game is on par with RPGM out there, but at least, you do not have to use keyboard to grind. However, you will realize that this game is already much better than its sequel as its sequel is built in Unity and pretty much heavy on RNG grind than this.

I played the demo of superpowered 2 and I can already tell it is a steep downhill from here.

Beside the incompressible grind, the game is great both plot and gameplay. As you get more superpower, the grind gets much easier. Unlike its sequel where RNG govern all aspect, the RNG in this game only govern random encounter scene.

The game is really good at illustrate the slow process of you changing other characters. The unique aspect is that story look linear at first but if you change certain character before specific plot point, you will get a slightly different storytelling.

Great MC sandbox game and hopefully, other learn from this one.

Rarely will I give a bad rating to a game I love, and want desperately to love, but this redo of the original Rags version while considered "complete" still lacks content, and overall even with Cheats in place is grindy AF.

After this amount of time the story could be done, and many of the characters added could be completed along with the side stories but there is still a lot that is not there. Community College has classes that say are coming for example, but overall the grind in this was always bad and has never improved.

Watched the initial versions but as the gameplay didn't improve, it dropped off my radar as something that would just take too long to get anywhere. There it does not disappoint. You need to spend a long time earning favor to a level where you can get their phone number, so you can see where you are with the right powers, then need to earn more favor to more relationships to the next step - never mind love and lust.

Even with the cheats you need to get to the phone level before using them, and that's about where it becomes useful. Keeping stats up normally just take too much interaction and time, the games pushes for the long game while not always delivering on scenes. Of which, the scenes are nice and well rendered, especially with outfits, but there are not many and they just repeat.

Overall get the cheats, and use Maximum Overdrive and get the individual scenes, you won't miss much with the grindy playthrough.

Great concept + nice renders of varied women = 2

I just played a bit in the complet version now and it feels a bit sad, i mean there is a lot "in development" and "not working" displays with a 80s interface... It just feels like the game would need some love... Instead a new game is on the way and SP2 in talk... I dont think i want that.. i dont have any trust that games would end better that this one... So half done half not

I love this game but can see why a lot of people have their problems with it.

It is heavy(!!!) grind so you should use a mod to reduce it if you can't stand this feature. I for one love this kind of build-up, it is exciting because you are working towards the different superpowers which are complet game changer once obtained.

You have a ton of different options depending on your powers and on what you want to use. This freedom and customization is one of a kind in porn games.

The writing is good and the models look nice but the sex scenes itself are a bit lacking. Often times just one or two pictures with descriptions. Also the mother looks way too young imo. It is not terrible but unfortunately prevents it from 5 stars.

Everyone who likes this game I can wholeheartedly recommend "Loser" from the same dev. It has even more grind ^^ but also more customization and way better models / sex scenes. Of course I hope we will get super powers 2 in the future.

I for one support the dev from now on since such creativity has to be reward.

Normally, I really tend to jump into games with optimism and attempt to actually play it as it is.
Unfortunately though, in case of this game, you don't play a NSFW game. You play a clickfest and grindfest of mechanics for most miniscule of rewards.
Take in mind, yes. Most of it can be made easier with mods. I am however reviewing it without them.
Reason why this gets 2 stars is the entire concept.
The whole story and concept is what it keeps it interesting.
However, that's trampled to the ground by insane amount of clicking you gotta do, ever decreasing stats you gotta manage, below average looking characters and not really many scene payoffs.

I see a lot of setup but no real pay off. Game is not complete. There's a lack of content. All the interesting systems in place you have to navigate certainly gives a glimpse of the grand what-could-have-been. Too bad in its current (and unfortunately final) iteration it's clunky and not fun nor satisfactory. Hopefully the dev will be able to flesh out the gameplay and content in his next game.

One of the most complex game which has actual sandbox features nost just some occasional free roam bits. The mechancics and gameplay aspects alone would worth the 5*, despite its now obsolete graphics and subpar UI and its unfished final "completed" vesion.

Game wasn't finished. Broken promises by developer. Grindy as hell without a cheat mod or console commands. Still have bugs that occur even years later.

Shows a lot of promise, but meanders. Renders are okay, but dated.

This game brought me initialy to F95 a few years ago. So, say "Hello" to my first Post-Commodore-64 Sexgame!

Lets do Content:
The renders are not the tip of the spear. But decent enough to be accepted. This game is Old and, back when the programming has begone, Iguess that was top notch. But today.. Lets skip this to something better:

The Elefant in the room:
In terms of Mind Control, this game sets the treshold. You will never play a game with this extend of "Mind Control" again. And you havent played any before. This game is the cutting edge of what every Mindcontrol should be. You can basically control every girl in town roughly, gently or make them your Drone. And if thats not enough, you can shatter them and make them totaly uncontrollable and crazy.
Also you have major control over feelings, you can decide what a girl should feel when you show a certain behavior. Make them love you for being nasty, make them fear you when you behave romantic or let them get off all over the floor because you just threatened to kill her.. Its entirely in your hand.

The Grinding:
Well. Bring some time, show some mercy with the dev and the age of the game. Back in time, all games where that grindy (or at least I remember them to be.. ). Without on of the Cheat mods this game is a grindfest. Cant say any better at this topic.

The Plot I:
You start of as a late teen. Getting your first superpower. The plan is:
-> Be a good guy.
-> Be a valuable Member of the community
-> Aquire more Superpowers (some that actualy are "super")
-> Finish your school with good grades.
-> Become the Sidekick of a known Superhero and fight the evil.
-> Finaly: Become a superhero yourself.. or the evil Supervillain.

The whole School setting is just the beginning of the Story. Here you can try yourself, explore your superpowers, play around...
The real game starts after +/-50 Hours. When the School is over and you have to find a superhero/villain that fits your playstile and join his super-league-team.

You need to make out targets for the next mission. You can visit more parts of the city. You have to fight for or against Crime. And the avaible heros are very well written. Also your Sister gets a more prominent role in all this. She and her best Friend will assist you in lots of missions.

The Downsides (What where you thinking?):
The major downside is, that the part after School never start. The Schoolpart is big and you will have lots of fun there. But the dev got more attached to his new Game and so this one is "Complete" but you will find lots of loose strings. And you will never be a superhero, never join one as sidekick and never rule the world. It is sad but, as I sayed: The part that is finished is worth playing.

Finaly:
I still love this game. The renders are old, the grind is heavy, the story ends where it should begin. But there are still over about 20 Girls, most of them look super juicy (Yes, there are People that look and behave like actual people. Not like Pornstars). An each one have something like 20 unique scenes.
But still.. I really hope someone will do a re-make with the same models and mechanics. But this time, a little more FullHD, better lightning, a little more Dialogue and a litte more "Complete the whole thing".

SuperPowered might be the poster child of how grind can just ruin a game. The game does a number of things very well, but actually accessing the content in question makes me wonder if it’s worth it.

The game has an extremely fun premise: superpowers are a thing you can acquire with an injection and you play a character who has the rare distinction of being able to get any number of them. This causes some problems as each power has a flaw of some type as well, each related to the flaw first acquired. Naturally, as this is a sex game, the main character rolled lust, meaning he’ll grow more perverted and need sex more the more powers he acquires.

The core loop of the game consists of a host of grinding, dice rolls, and opaque systems. In order to get more powers, you need to grind influence to get permission for them and money to pay for the injection. In order to acquire influence and money, you have to work your face off and influence others to help you. This can take months in game, or more if you play less than optimized. It doesn’t help that your degree of success in many of these tasks rests on a dice roll.

And what’s the payoff? Well, there are plenty of girls in the game willing to put out with enough attention. The renders are decent and there’s a huge amount of scene variety once you start mind warping them with mind control and related powers. Each girl has over a dozen unique scenes, though finding them can be difficult to the point of requiring a guide. Nevertheless, it can’t be denied that there is a rewarding payoff.

The story is nothing to write home about. Unlocking story events can be extremely time consuming and doesn’t seem like it gives much in the way of resources towards the grind. As a result, they feel like a distraction rather than something to pursue. This isn’t helped by how annoying and childish the main character is whenever he has the temerity to speak. Skeletor is a less than likeable dude.

If you're the type that's into grinding, I can see how it could be very rewarding to go from some shlub with eagle eyes to some shlub who's mind controlling the entire town to generate him money and resources so he no longer has to. It’s definitely fun to corrupt an entire stable of girls along the way too. I just wish it didn’t take so freakin’ long. The game is four stars with cheats, but three or less without them.

Starts off strong and I enjoyed the process of trying to find all the scenes with each of the characters however I think he tried to do a little too much when making this and it all feels a little samey and boring after a while. I really enjoyed the mother and sister character and thought the scenes where they force themselves on him were really fun and wanted a little more of that kind of thing . The game is a little dated now and could do well as a reamke but shorter and maybe fewer characters.

Even after so many years, I find myself back here time and time again, hoping to see some changes. Because this was one of the games that I started with and what a game it is.

Still arguably one of the best I've played here, and since it's finished I thought I would give it a review.

Of all the times I've played, I've always used the mods because the grind was literally killing me. But even with mods, the hours I've put into this game is crazy. Which tells you how good I thought it was, despite how bad it was, if you get what I mean.

Cards on the table, I always thought it was a huge pitfall of potential. It had it's fans, sure, but also plenty of people dissing it and even outright skipping it.

The system was the double-edge sword that was why the game was so creative and fun, you could literally get hundreds of outcomes based on the different numbers you had. But that was also the part that prevented it from living up to its full potential. There were too many diverse scenes that you couldn't access easily enough, or it took too much time.

In my mind the only thing that could possibly save this gem of a game was a scene replay, but unfortunately it never came to fruition.

Maybe one day I would find the time and the motivation to play it again, but till then, it will always stay a pleasant memory.

Very grindy to say the least. It would help if there were more likable characters. The Protagonist himself being the absolute worst I have seen in one of these kind of games, he is weaselly, yet mind blowingly arrogant. Not a fun game to play through, worst of all your stuck with his original name, given there are a lot of options & things to change the game, yet ZERO option to change the Protags name or even have him make different choices makes the game a huge waste of time

Version 0.44.04.

3,5 points.
It took some time to get into this. But when I understood the system, I find system very interesting and joyable as a whole. Good story, great and beliavable characters, they were that good that missing animations didn't disturb me. Huge amount of grinding lowered the interest to keep playing. Abot all this genre games have pencil neck mc who has horse dick. This didn’t brake the rule. Mc is string bean x 10.

A somewhat decent VN that was destroyed by the trillion of useless point grinding mechanic, or a terrible game with terrible design written on the engine made for visual novels. Pick one.

The best (and only) way to play this game is to download the cheat mode and force scenes to replay by setting the parameters you want. Otherwise, it is a broken grindfest which can crush on you at any moment.

But pictures are good enough and there are plenty of characters, so try it on your luck.

Version Played: 0.44.04

I really, really wanted to like this game as it hits a lot of my boxes in terms of content and I've put in 10 or so hours, but the arcane and frustrating grindy systems and still-image sex scenes lead me to feel like I was putting in a lot of work for not a lot of payoff. To its credit, the theme of the game (becoming a superhero) is unique and there are a ton of girls, so this might appeal to the player who likes to work a little harder for his wank.

Positives:
+ Tons of girls
+ Some depraved content that can get you going (group content FTW)
+ Unique Concept


Negatives:
- Systems are extremely obtuse and the game ends up very grindy
- Scenes have no animation or even much descriptive text

The beauty of a site like this is that the only thing you are investing is your time (gonna ignore the obvious sentiment that we don't get time back so why are we on F95...), so by all means, check this out if any of this seems like it would appeal to you. I ended up putting in another 5 or so hours in it with mods, but even that wasn't enough to keep me from getting frustrated and deciding to drop it.

Note to Devs!: Sorry it didn't end up being my cup of tea. Thanks for all the work you've put into the game.

Too much grinding, so that the fingers are tired. It's not so much a porn game, it's a finger exerciser. The main story line is actually very short, that is, it takes a long time to grind. Thanks to the appearance of the mod, otherwise I would not have the energy to play this game. Developers spend their energy on torturing players. It took me almost 10 hours to unlock all the superpowers. If you don’t use mods, I’m afraid it won’t be done in a week, because just earning various currencies is a torture. Not to mention, it will take a lot of time to unlock the gallery and sex scenes at the end, because this is the final loot that you get by grinding, but there is no hint to unlock them, you can only look at the revealed part of the picture and try to guess. Which kind of super power is still grinding, it is better to change the name of the game to Super Grinder.

Please I beg you don't feel daunted by the sheer amount of systems in this game they each all work extremely well together. This game is unique, there is no game with this much variability in your play style. Theres like 3+ outfits for each character depending on their inhibition, each character has their own fetish with secret scenes, not even including stuff like nympho obsessive and jealous. 10/10 MASTAPIECE

I had a few bugs and rollback errors here and there especially when trying some of the social interactions with the girls (different depending on the girl) but overall a great experience as a power fantasy. I love how this game tackles the brainwashing concept and doesn't shy away from the more dominating aspects of it like a lot of other games where the mind control is basically just a slut-maker (although you have the freedom to do that here as well) Can't wait for the full release with all the powers and girls available!

This game has an obvious case of overengineering, for the RPG and stats in particular.

The concept of the game itself is very promising; you are a simple young man who can gain super-hero powers in a infinite quantity. That make for a game that can have a lot of freedom and content, on paper.

In practicality, this game is such a overly complex and confusing mess of stats that you have to keep track of, maintain and grind through.

Graphically, the game is outdated. It's obviously never got upgraded ever since it's introduction in 2016, so you get a 4:3 screen ratio combined with grainy images, poor light composition and basic shots. Visually, it's really painful to the eyes.

Writing wise, the game is actually quite good at that. Dialogues are good, the story itself make sense and is quite grounded. You have a funny, quirky dialogue for the tutorials and tips. It's really the best part of the game as far as it goes, because everything else is just bad or underwhelming.

You have a very wide selection of characters, although interactions with them are often complicated and obscure, so you have to do a LOT of trial and errors to see what is effective and what is not.

The lewds scenes are quite bad. No animations at all anywhere, and you get the same bad shots and grainy renders as everything else. Most of them consist of a few different pictures with different poses, and that's about it. Not really exciting or enjoyable in any way.

Look, it's quite simple. The game is grindy, overly complex, not pretty to look at and fail to deliver a fun experience overall. If you're into long, stat-whore type games, maybe you can like it, but otherwise stay away.
