All the classic superhero cliches, bad voice acting and good gameplay and the
best of all! You can make your own superhero and use him/her in the campaign!

A Windows 98 version of Ultimate Alliance. Goes on sale for 99 cents a lot. Get
it and kick some Yeti ass!
This feels like if Marvels UA was made way earlier and with Ultra! Comic
superheroes. It has a superhero and villain miniverse with something I liked
very very much; each character upon unlocking gives you a FMV backstory/origin
narrated and told as a comic.
I never played this before buying it on steam so as a new player I need to say I
like this game very much, you have replayabaility with the mixture of new
characters into teams.
The best way to describe movement and actions in this game is point and click
strategy, select with mouse click to move to location, select character click
enemy to make character attack that enemy.
Every character has different multiple powers but some look re-used because of
the graphical limitations, story makes up for this. This is not a super hard
game, it was made for anyone who likes comics, great for casual gamers not for
hard as nails tactical strategy players. If you liked Ultimate Alliance then
this is a no brainer buy.
Multiplayer:
There is also a whole character customization page for multiplayer that will
take you 1-2 hours building your own custom character from scratch, adding
powers buffs and negatives, voice and costume. I have not played any m/p yet,
just the S/P mode I did however make a godlike supervillain that then the game
alerted me the character cannot be played in m/p cause he so buff. There is an
added ceiling for powers on m/p creation so you cannot make a god player and
godmode a m/p game.
Cons
The reading could go faster and skippable scenes on repeat needs to be added- my
only gripes
Post Notes
I enjoyed this game so much I snagged the first part on GOG, cause less bugs.
No game ending bugs or run issues to report as of this writing for this sequel.

Awesome with mods + custom characters.

This sequel to Freedom Force is worth playing. Like it's predecessor it's a
real-time tactics game that is a throwback to silver age superhero comics
complete with cheesy dialogue and worded sound effects. This game includes some
new heroes to play as. I recommend it to those who enjoyed the original game.

Great game even after so many years I enjoyed it once again, and surprisingly I
wasn't put out by the old graphics, they aged well.

ThankYou, Irrational Games for this unique, utterly fun and most uber´heroic RPG
georgessness You blessed us with .. Never mind the date of creation - this thing
still kicks some in´glorious assess all around the gaming board of nowdays
produced self´erious halfbaked sh(allow)it. :)
It doesn´t take it self seriously, yet it possesses some seriously great
game-mechanics .. Very engaging and fun variable (real/slowdown/stopped time)
combat system, wide range of memor(like)able superheroes (and their antagonist)
with dozens well represented powers to choose from, superb controls and u.i.,
well written and (with proper dose of pathosilliness) narrated script,
destructable enviroment and myriads of nazies to beat.
Oh, how much I wish they make a sequel! Deserves one to be kick-startered up and
above the stars.
/ Don´t get confused by the play-time above .. I had been making looov to this
beauty a loooot more before my steam-days started to call the shots (and other
mouse-button-bound activities:) /

If you like comics, you have to have this game. Irrational Games attention to
detail when it comes to 60's comics style is amazing. There is dialogue in this
game that will have you in tears. Gameplay itself is alse quite good, though
nothing revolutionary. Still, for a few bucks, this is a must buy.

In case you're wondering, this one does work.

I've read some complaints that the game feels more like an expansion. Those are
not without merit, but I'd say it's superior to the first one. The story is even
more crazy, but always interesting, the levels are more varied and look much
better (thanks to some comic-bookey textures), the mission objectives are
generally more interesting, the new characters are cool and it's not as long as
the first game, which I feel is an advantage, considering I was getting kinda
bored during the last couple of hours of the first game.
At the price you can usually buy these during major sales, it's totally worth
it.

Superhero RPG. Camp presentation, immersive combat. Some simplistic, unbalanced
character creation - hilarious. Better than the first one. Buy it!

It's a nice comic book RTS with very unique heroes and abilities. It's a fun
romp with all the hero stereotypes taken to absurdity. It's a bit dated though
so 8/10 .

A 4-hero bird's-eye-view Real-Time Strategy game where you fight the forces of
evil over a series of discrete missions.
THE GOOD
- This game is surprisingly fun.
- There's a rock-paper-scissors aspect to super-heroes, and it can be fun to
find good team synergies and figure out how to defeat enemies.
- The graphics are surprisingly good for a classic game, still perfectly
acceptable by modern indie-game standards.
- The story is pretty standard 4-colour comic book nonsense. This might be good
or bad depending on your taste!
- It's fun to create your own custom super-heroes. Be careful, though, because
if they are too powerful it can ruin the fun of the game by making it too easy.
THE BAD
- If the depiction of Nazis and other enemies of the USA during/after WWII might
offend you (and the depictions are very stereotypical!), you should probably
take a hard pass on this game.
- The heroes are a bit dumb, requiring a lot of micro-management. Unless you
give them a direct order they sit around doing nothing. Any abilities with an
energy cost will only activate once. Anytime they get stunned or whatnot, they
stop what they were doing. So you need to babysit all 4 of them and constantly
monitor them to make sure they are behaving correctly. This is mitigated
somewhat by just getting used to doing it reflexively over time.
THE UGLY
- The game is overall very polished--there aren't many bugs to speak of.
- There was one mission where a character had to prepare a device, and it wasn't
immediately obvious how to do this. They probably could have explained it a bit
better. You actually have to right click on them and use an ability they don't
normally have.
- Characters can sometimes get stuck on obstacles when trying to move.
Particularly annoying if you told them to move a long distance and then panned
away to deal with something else.
- The game crashed on me once, and I lost about 30 minutes of play time.

Brilliant old game I also love you can mod the game from http://www.alexff.com.
Really wish someone would do a superhero game that allowed this level of
modding!

I have never liked a game as much as this, and have never desired the final game
to complete the trilogy as much as this series. I liked the first game, but
loved the second one. Both game have fantastic characters, but the second one
has more of them. Great stories, great character interactions, completely
interactive enviroments (you can destroy an entire city if you want). This time
around we see major villain vs villain action in the story! Graphics are good
for the time the two games were made, the only thing that bothered me from the
first game to this one is the ability to over or under power your attacks but it
didn't affect anything that much. 9/10

Its hard to oversell this game if you like strategy with high customization you
will like this. If you like golden age supers you will like this. If you like
old school games you can play on a potato of a computer, you will like this

Great game. Love it from start to finish. The story telling, the heroes origin
story, gameplay and visual was great. Recommend to people into comics and games
to try this game out. Hope they make another one.

Good game. Don't buy on steam. My 1.2 hours of playtime have been riddled with
crashes and the application freezing everything.

A great sequel to a great game. If you loved the first one, superheroes,
tactical (paused-realtime) strategy rpg's, that supports tons of custom content,
and a fun campaign then this is for you!
