TVGB writes: "Overall, Champions Online is a fun MMO to play. It's by far a game that warrants a purchase if you want something to occupy yourself with for a month. It's also a great title for those who want to play on their own time without being pressured by the barrage of quests in their log that require five people. Those looking for a heavily group oriented MMO will have to look elsewhere as there's nothing exceedingly mandatory about grouping here. If you're looking at it for a possible investment that you plan to keep for more than the free month, then you may want to wait two or three months for Cryptic to resolve the issues and bugs. With so much potential and only just a month in the market, Champions Online can only improve from here and it's sure to be a great game as it progresses".
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.
