Freedom Force versus the Third Reich (FFvsTTR) is the sequel to the team-based role-playing superhero game Freedom Force. Set in the 1960s during the Cold War, this game looks and feels like a comic book from this period, referred to by comic book fans as “The Silver Age” of comics.

Although I haven’t read a comic book in over 15 years, I can still recognize that these games are a very intentional homage to classic comic books. The game’s many heroes are superhero archetypes, from the freedom-loving Minute Man, to the blazing fast Bullet, to the anti-hero Tombstone. The classic storyline and dialogue, and archetypal superheroes, give the game a familiar feel to anyone who has ever read a comic book.
