What is City of Heroes?


City of Heroes (CoH) is an MMORPG from Cryptic Studios and NCsoft in which players take the role of super-powered heroes in the villain-infested Paragon City.

City of Heroes breaks the mold of the traditional MMORPG in many ways, setting it apart from most other MMORPGs.
  • Characters and costumes/clothing are extensively customizable right from character creation, with no reliance on items to create the character appearance you want.
  • Most powers are "heroic" right from level 1. Powers continue to scale up with the character as you level, allowing you to select entirely new abilities, rather than requiring you to take progressively higher-level versions of the same powers.
  • Players immediately face a variety of villainous enemies including street gangs, robots, alien hybrids, and more. No fighting rats and bats for your first five levels.
