You might choose to have Captain America pummel a Hydra sniper with his shield, or perhaps get Doctor Strange to vapourise a demon hound with the Bolt of Balthakk. At the start of each fight, players draw random attack and skill cards from their packs, three of which can be used per turn. And as in the recent mobile hit Marvel Snap, you attack with cards. Between missions you all hang out together in an abbey, surrounded by a country estate laden with caves, graveyards and standing stones.Īs in XCOM, you fight a series of turn-based battles: three heroes, an array of Hydra soldiers and the odd supervillain face off in small arenas. Usefully, you’re accompanied by two superhero collectives: the Avengers and the titular Midnight Suns, a group of mystical magic-weavers that includes teen goth Nico Minoru from The Runaways and fiery stuntbike dudebro, Ghost Rider. Marvellous? Pretty much.Unlikely scenarios … Marvel’s Midnight Suns. "The combat missions can feel a little side-lined by the sheer wealth of resource management tasks and relationship building, but all the pieces serve a purpose within the richly detailed whole. "Marvel's Midnight Suns works wonders to freshen up familiar Marvel characters, producing lively battles from focused turn-based systems, then diving into their personalities and histories to reveal their intimate concerns," reads our verdict. And that's a shame because it's really quite good! Our 4/5-star Midnight Suns review praises the intricate turn-based combat system that's a marked departure from Firaxis's earlier effort, XCOM, as well as the rich histories and colorful personalities of its cast of heroes, and the surprisingly deep gameplay elements tucked away at the Abbey, your heroes' home base. Maybe people are turned off by card games, or maybe they're burnt out by Marvel games after that one from a few years back that rhymes with Larvel's Revengers, but the post-launch hype around Marvel's Midnight Suns seems to have petered out pretty quickly.
