Homebrew coder ZVitor – the guy behind the excellent Golden Axe Returns – has released his latest game, DC Task Force.
As the title suggests, it takes characters from the DC Comics superhero universe and places them in an action-adventure title you can play on your PC or Android device.
"DC Task Force is a game where you explore the DC universe, visiting classic cities and planets, assembling your own Justice League team and recruiting members to protect planet Earth from an alien invasion," says the developer. "This campaign can be completed in just over an hour, but would require at least 7 hours to explore the entire universe and recruit all possible characters."
The most impressive thing is that ZVitor has included a staggering 82 playable characters in DC Task Force, including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and Bane.
He's also thrown in some cool bonus characters, such as Major Dutch Schaefer and Lieutenant Linn Kurosawa (both from Capcom's Alien vs. Predator coin-op) and Dark Horse character The Mask, who came to global fame thanks to Jim Carrey's 1994 movie of the same name. Oh, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are all here, too, along with Master Splinter.
Like ZVitor's other games, DC Task Force is 100% unofficial and totally free to download. You can grab it for Windows and Android here.

This looks awesome. The extra characters make its roster seem a bit bloated, but still awesome nonetheless.
Finally, after years of waiting, fans can see Daffy Duck team up with Spawn
I'm getting an error when trying to install openbar on my phone. It says it's not compatible, which a Galaxy S23 FE. Anyone else run into this?
@calbeau as someone whos played a ton of vitors games, don't worry, its not as bad as it sounds. His games are essentially streets of rage 2 brawlers with simple levels that focus on including a ton of villains as midbosses, and the large cast plays fairly similar to eachother like in a typical brawler, think those lego dc games where the large casts all play mainly the same and its moreso just about playing as ur fav character!
@Gryffin Yes, getting the 404 error on my Samsung and Steam Deck for all the links unfortunately.
I like how some of the poses are the same as Street Fighter characters.
Look at the Flash and Cyborg and tell me you don't see Ryu and Ken's poses, the last Green Lantern with Zangief's or Batgirl with Cammy's. Meanwhile Bane's pose looks like that of Clark Still from The King of Fighters.
