Task management strategy game with heroes
Dispatch is a premium action game for PC developed by AdHoc Studio. It is a strategy game blended with a task management sim, in which players take on the role of an emergency dispatcher for superheroes who answer distress calls across the city. They must assess every situation and respond appropriately by sending out the hero for the job.
Dispatch emphasizes that choices matter—decisions made during missions and everyday interactions directly influence the story’s direction, the team’s relationships, and the main character’s personal growth. This indie game blends character-driven storytelling, strategy, and a comedic twist.
Superhero dispatcher
In Dispatch, you play Robert Roberson, a superhero-turned-emergency dispatch officer who responds to distress calls from people across the city. You are given charge of a misfit group of heroes, and you must assign the right person for the task based on their unique set of abilities. Receive emergency calls for all sorts of things, from rescuing cats from trees, stopping a robbery, and capturing escaped criminals.
Meanwhile, back at the office, there’s banter, interpersonal relationships, and the sort of behind-the-scenes politics you don’t often see in a superhero game. You must also get to know your team on a more personal level and navigate their personal quirks and emotional baggage to maximize their potential and keep the group together and operating as an efficient, unified unit.
The visuals in this game lean into a clean, stylized narrative-adventure aesthetic, favoring expressive character art and cinematic framing over photorealism. However, the game offers limited interactivity, with most gameplay confined to dialogue choices and brief dispatch mini-games. Note that this game includes a range of mature content that you should be aware of—especially if you're considering it for viewing or playing with others or under supervision.
Chaotic workplace dramedy
Dispatch is a premium, episodic strategy game that puts players in the role of a superhero-turned-emergency dispatcher managing a quirky team of heroes. Combining task management, storytelling, and humor, players assign heroes to handle citywide crises while navigating office drama and relationships. With stylish, narrative-focused visuals and limited interactivity, this game delivers a character-driven experience rich in dialogue, choices, and mature themes rather than traditional action gameplay.
