Invincible Presents: Atom Eve Hands-On Preview – Teenage Superheroes

Much like movies and TV shows, there's no shortage of video games based on comic books. Among the series that is soon getting its own video game adaptation is the Invincible series written by Robert Kirkman, best known for The Walking Dead series, which ran from 2003 until 2018 that was adapted into an animated TV Show now streaming on Amazon Prime Video. While the main series is focused on Mark Grayson as he balances his school life while fighting evil across different dimensions, Invincible Presents: Atom Eve focuses on one of the central characters of the universe, Atom Eve, another high schooler who possesses the power to alter matter with her mind.

At its heart, Invincible Presents: Atom Eve is effectively a visual novel.

The choice and consequence system seems to go rather in-depth, so there could be plenty of replay value in the final version of the game. To make an example, in the preview build, Eve is dating her fellow superhero Rex Spiode because of choices made in the first episode, which wasn't available in the build, but players can choose to only be his friend in the final version of the game. The story feels interesting enough, dealing with Eve's double life as a high-schooler and a superhero, so I'm definitely curious to see how everything will eventually develop.
