Invincible Presents: Atom Eve is a 2023 video game developed by Terrible Posture Games and published by Skybound Games. It combines gameplay of role-playing games and visual novels.
Gameplay
Players control Atom Eve, a superhero from the Invincible comic book and its animated series. Players can customize Eve's powers using a skill tree and make choices in a branching narrative. Dialogue choices can affect the plot and are timed. Players earn experience points when defeating foes and completing quests. Combat is turn-based, and choices players make regarding Eve's powers affect what options they have access to. For example, prioritizing superpowers that make dialogue easier can leave Eve with fewer options in combat.[1] Similar to Slay the Spire, players are aware of their enemy's next move. They can counter these attacks by spending energy to perform their own attacks. If they have energy left over, it is added to their next turn.[2]
Development
Skybound Games released Invincible Presents: Atom Eve for Windows on November 14, 2023. It was made available for free the same week on Amazon's subscription service Prime Gaming.[3]
Reception
Invincible Presents: Atom Eve received positive reviews on Metacritic.[4] RPGFan liked that it could be played without knowledge of the comic book or animated series. They found it a bit short but praised the gameplay, characters, soundtrack, and visuals.[1] Though Shacknews said Atom Eve "sticks to some predictable superhero tropes", they praised the story. They also enjoyed the gameplay and said the role-playing elements helped differentiate it from other visual novels.[5] Sports Illustrated said it is not as good as the animated series but is worth playing.[6]
