Each level has a different world and presents something new to the story that the level before doesn’t. With themes of betrayal and ambition, each character we meet is a friend we must keep at “arms distance”.

What Makes It Standout: A parody of the beloved series Power Rangers plot, this series flips the superhero genre on its back. Instead of focusing on the heroes' side, this time, we are looking through the lens of the villains. A hilarious and clever twist on familiar tropes, makes you think: “are the heroes always in the right? Is the villain misunderstood?” It’s funny, lighthearted and pretty insightful, making it a must-watch for anyone who enjoys the unconventional.
