On The Casual App Gamer, we’ve gone through our fair share of Dumb Ways to Die games like Dumb Ways to Die Original, Dumb Ways to Dash, and Dumb Ways to Draw. We’ve been big fans of them all so far and Metro Trains Melbourne has come through with a new addition to the series: Dumb Ways to Die: Superheroes!
Gameplay
Dumb Ways to Die: Superheroes is essentially a racing game, however, you play as superheroes and can use your superpowers in order to get through the obstacles. At the beginning of the game, the levels are pretty easy to complete but become increasingly harder as time goes by. This is great as I found it challenging and got super competitive with it like I was going to get something amazing for winning.
Graphics
Dumb Ways to Die: Superheroes has very similar graphics to Dumb Ways to Dash. The characters are still 3D with the same pastel type coloring Metro Trains Melbourne likes to go for. Like I’ve said in previous reviews, the graphics are a great contrast against the darker meaning of the game.
Music & Sounds
Unlike other games from the series, Dumb Ways to Die: Superheroes completely changed the music and added a more intense vibe to it which I liked. If this game is going to be based on superheroes, then it needs to have superhero music. Of course, on the menu, you will hear the original theme song everyone knows and loves.
Controls
To control your superhero, you need to hold down your finger. If you need to stop to let an obstacle go past, you must lift your finger otherwise you’ll go running straight into it.

The Verdict
I had high expectations for this game and they were met perfectly. Not only was this game addicting, but it felt like it was a lot more thought out than other games in the series. I was a huge fan of being able to collect the characters as it allowed me to get to know them better through their skills.
