When a battle destroys his mech suit, former hero Robert Robertson takes a dispatcher job at a superhero center. He is put in charge of a team of ex-supervillains while working to rebuild his suit and pursue his own return to hero work.
Across an episodic story, Robert makes dialogue and situational choices that shape his relationships with the team and the story’s direction. Office dynamics, personal ties, and the heroes’ changing loyalties are part of managing the group.
During emergencies, Robert uses a city map to assign heroes according to their abilities and availability. Successful missions can earn experience for the team, letting Robert improve skills and unlock abilities; hacking minigames and quick-time events also let him intervene in the field.
Players often praise the character-focused story, lively dialogue, humor, and emotional moments, with voice performances and comic-style animation also recurring as highlights. Some enjoy the emergency dispatch sections as a tactical change of pace, while others find them limited or repetitive compared with the story. Reviews also differ on how much choices affect events, and some wish the episodes were longer.
You play as Robert Robertson, AKA Mecha Man, whose mech-suit is destroyed in a battle against his nemesis, forcing him to take a job at a superhero dispatch center: not as a hero, but a dispatcher. In charge of rehabilitating a group of ex-supervillains, you must manage your roster while navigating office relationships and rebuilding your suit for a shot at revenge.
In Dispatch, every decision you make influences the unfolding narrative. From banter in the breakroom to life-or-death situations in the field, your choices affect your relationships with the heroes, their allegiances, and the path your own story takes.
Use the strategy map to review ongoing emergencies and deploy the right (or wrong) heroes to deal with them. Balance the risks and rewards as you make tactical decisions, knowing that each choice can have lasting consequences for your team and the city.
Managing heroes sometimes goes beyond their powers. Each hero comes with quirks, flaws, and baggage you’ll need to navigate to keep the team together. Upgrade their skills and unlock abilities to boost their effectiveness in the field.
