Description
The Amazing Fantastics is a turn-based saga that puts the player in the shoes of a hero who must assemble a team of super-powered allies to protect one of the most dangerous cities in the country. This city, Utopia, is the poster child of crime and corruption and in defending this town its heroes come face-to-face with criminal organizations, fiendish mutants, and even otherworldly deities. You'll see firsthand that Utopia is a living, breathing creature with tons of dark secrets visible only to those crazy enough to go looking for them.
History
In 2015, when Philadelphia-based indie developer Bruce was preparing to graduate college he was searching the internet and app stores for turn-based superhero games. Splitting his free time between playing through Final Fantasy games on iOS and reading comic books, Bruce really wanted to do both things at the same time. Unable to find any games that really satisfied the itch he needed scratched, he decided to just make the game he wanted on his own, and thus The Amazing Fantastics was born.
If you asked Bruce to, in one sentence, sum up what he wanted to make he probably would've told you something along the lines of, "Give me Final Fantasy but take out all the anime stuff and replace it with superheroes." Of course that's simplifying things a lot but it's essentially what he set out to make, though the ultimate goal with The Amazing Fantastics is to go a few steps further than simply re-skinning a Final Fantasy game and introduce the ability to patrol your city, create your own superhero, build legions of adoring fans through a fame system, and more. Bruce aims to make the player feel like Batman commanding his or her own Justice League.
