Second Rate Superheroes
Short description
An addicting, nerve-wracking action-roguelike where you command 20 superhero former-rejects to save yourself and the Mayor from hellswarms. A unique genre-twister, adding a Taunt mechanic and the use of Turrets. Dozens of weapons, 4 sidekicks, strategic combos and 400+ upgrade "cards."

Review count and SteamSpy's owner range disagree, so the band is widened to cover both rather than picking a favourite. Multiplied by the $4.99 launch price — there is not enough price history for this game to weight the copies by what they actually sold for. Before Steam's cut, VAT and refunds. How these numbers are calculated.
