With the release of Issue 14: Architect, City of Heroes/City of Villains has added a fantastic new feature: the ability for players to create their own missions and story arcs. Complete with custom enemies, allies, bosses, arch-villiains/heroes, and a great majority of the maps found in the game. With a little patience and imagination, the opportunities for creating really fun, engaging content are nearly limitless.

One big issue that many testers in both Closed and Open Beta brought up was that the single 1-5 star rating system just wasn’t helpful enough in determining which missions are worth running, and which are worth skipping. Many authors don’t write a sufficiently detailed description, either, which makes it even worse. That’s where this site steps in.

City of Heroes Mission Review (CoHMR) was designed to serve two purposes:

1. To provide a place where mission authors can post detailed information about their creations;
2. To provide a system where the CoH/CoV community can review the missions they’ve played, and give feedback to the mission author.

CoHMR captures real reviews by real players, and, rather than the single 1-5 star rating in-game, lets you dive into more detail about the mission, capturing ratings on four valuable aspects of a mission — Story, Design, Gameplay, and Detail. To learn more about rating missions, check out our FAQ.

We hope you enjoy the site, and that it brings some additional value and context to the new world of Architect Entertainment missions. As always, if you have any comments or suggestions, throw ‘em at us: editor (at) cohmissionreview dot com.
