In a world filled with superheroes, Robert Robertson, an ordinary human, pilots a giant robotic suit as Meca Man, carrying on his father's legacy. When his suit is irreversibly damaged in a battle against his archnemesis and father's killer, Shroud, he's forced into retirement. Soon after, the Superhero Dispatch Network (SDN) makes him an offer: they’ll repair his suit if he agrees to lead and coordinate the Z-Team, a group of former supervillains seeking redemption, as they rush across Los Angeles to save the day. But every mission comes with choices: the kind that define what makes someone a hero, with or without superpowers.

Runs well on modern hardware.

The worst thing about this game is that at some points you run out of game and then there’s no more game. I need more. Of everything. The dispatch game, the office dynamics, the stupid jokes. Please! For the actual review, the game is wonderful. Visually - both the artstyle, animations and the way the scenes are presented and edited is absolute cinema. The soundtrack slaps as well, perfectly fits the moods of the scenes. Narratively - I enjoyed every single character and the way they interact with one another, the squabbles, the jokes and the wholesome moments. There is a dispatch management game that was so fun I would love that as a standalone game. Enough reading, go play now.

[h1]Dispatch – Finally, Dialogue Choices That Don't Make Me Regret Being Alive[/h1] ★★★★★★★★★☆ (9/10) I picked this up on sale, so it was a complete no-brainer. This was my first game in this genre, and I absolutely loved it. The biggest surprise was how well the [b]choices[/b] are handled. So many games give you dialogue options that sound reasonable, only for your character to suddenly go completely off script. You pick: "I don't feel like it." Your character says: "I don't feel like it, and also you're the worst person I've ever met, your family hates you, and I hope your crops fail." Dispatch doesn't do that. The dialogue options actually feel like what your character is going to say, which makes the choices feel meaningful instead of terrifying. Even better, those choices genuinely affect how the story unfolds. The [b]writing[/b] is excellent, the [b]characters[/b] are memorable, and the [b]voice acting[/b] is fantastic. I managed to get the ending I wanted without looking up a guide, which tells me the game does a great job communicating the consequences of your decisions. The superhero setting was also incredibly fun. Pun absolutely intended. My only real complaint is the [b]pacing[/b]. The story moves too quickly. The last couple of episodes slow things down a bit, but I actually think the game would have benefited from one or two extra episodes to let some moments breathe. Overall, this was an amazing experience. I loved the characters, loved the story, loved the voice acting, and loved finally playing a choice-based game that trusts me to understand what the dialogue options mean. [b]The only thing more dangerous than the villains is telling yourself you'll play for "just 30 more minutes."[/b]
