This time up on 60 Minute Reviews: The "Fixed deck" card game, Sentinels of the Multiverse, published by Handrlebra Games!
This is a mobile port of an actual game put out by GreaterThanGames, and you can purchase that at http://sentinelsofthemultiverse.com/
I am playing this by on my Nexus 5 phone, and the game works very well translated to the small screen, they obviously have put a lot of effort into making the game playable on any stronger device you want. There is also an iOS version up for your gaming goodness.
This is another 60MR that I am using the words "60 Minute" loosely, mainly because one game took an hour, and I wanted to give it a few more before I felt comfortable with reviewing it. That brings me to my only major complaint with the game, it takes a long time for each turn. This can be a huge deal as this game also EATS THE WHOLE BATTERY! You can run into a game where it is not over and your battery dies. That is alright though, because the game saves your data.
I love the stories on each character, completely making you think that these comics are all real, each backstory is fantastic, if a little trope-y. The gameplay is easy to learn, and the tutorial is fantastic, but only a little more wordy than is wanted. You tend to catch on quickly though.
That being said, I am playing the hell out of this game, and will continue to do so. This is a staple on my phone now, and I will love it, hug it, and hold it forever.
