Gameplay

Supervillains is a role-playing game involving tactical combat with superpowered characters set in New York City. [1]

Reception

Steve List reviewed Supervillains in The Space Gamer No. 56. [1] List commented that "While super-powered villains are the stuff of comic books, a game about them must be designed at a level demonstrating more sophistication than a comic book. SV fails in this regard. Mr. Register has a vivid imagination, but has failed to translate his ideas into a coherent form. Coupled with this is the typical lack of care shown by TFG in proofreading, editing, and organizing their products. The combination is deadly. Avoid Supervillains." [1]
