Gaming Nexus writes, "Super Hero games are seeing a resurgence – from the excellent Batman: Arkham Asylum to the now venerable City of Heroes MMORPG, its cool to wear kevlar and spandex. It's fitting that in this new golden age of 4-color fantasy that Cryptic Studios and Atari should unleash their latest entry into the genre space with Champions Online."
Cryptic Studios appears to be the latest Embracer-owned company to be impacted by layoffs.
Champions Online is based on the popular pen-and-paper Champions RPG, giving players the power of total customization of their hero experience while they explore a vast universe of richly detailed 3D environments.
The brand-new Witch Archetype brings ranged Support through the use of Curses to harm and spells to heal in Champions Online.
