Dark superhero stories seem to be all the rage nowadays. Even the gritty Matt Reeves version of The Batman may not have been enough for superhero fans that wanted to see the guts and gore that comes with some modern superhero shows like Invincible and The Boys.

Now, developer Stitch Heads has shown the first look at upcoming action RPG Superfuse.
Players join as an «Enforcer» in the world of Superfuse, working for «corporate gods» after humanity diminished the earth's resources to a point that the planet was no longer inhabitable. The majority of humanity struggles to survive, while the ultra-wealthy have only furthered their positions at the peak of society, creating the «Enforcers» as protectors against a force of weird alien monsters known as «the Corruption.» Considering the focus on superheroes who are basically corporate assets, Superfuse does seem heavily influenced by the universe of The Boys, except with much more of a sci-fi theme.
