Alter Arms: Henshin Heroes RPG
A rules-lite, narrative based tabletop role playing game set in a world populated by Japanese-style transforming super heroes in the style of Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, and Sailor Moon. Gameplay is about managing escalation:
You can stay in your base form and have a wide range of versatility, or take on a more powerful form that's better suited to specialized tasks in exchange for raising the dramatic tension. Are you a monster in disguise? A super robot made to look human? Do you gain powers from a cool belt? Or transform into enchanted royalty by drawing power from celestial bodies?
