This looks like a Steam Deck classic but reviewers keep saying the story is wack :lupe:

Its not that bad. Typical comic book world ending plot with a few twist, it’s entertaining. . They keep the stakes high enough for you to want to see how it plays out.

It’s the abby questline thats boring

Copped the Legendary Edition with the $30 credit I had on PSN. They want $70 so bad, I might as well get the best version of the game :heh:

What about villains

Not as numerous as the heroes but not bad overall. I hope they add more in an expansion or something.

Hydra is the main forces of the enemies (various types of troops)

Lilth is the main villain, with her goon units being various demons


Mini bosses are Lilths "generals" being

Crossbones
Venom
Sabertooth
Corrupted Wanda
Corrupted Hulk

They have some surprises in there too
with Mephisto, Cthon making some appearances

A lot of the Lilin (demonic monsters) in this game look straight out of x-com lol

Its like how the Organization or Sora’s group in kingdom hearts look like final fantasy characters

I got that last mission message :sadcam:

Now I keep prolonging the doing side missions, cause I don't want it to end.


Whenever I do end it, I'll probably gonna hit that NG+ and go dark :demonic:

I wonder if we'll get some long war type mods for this

They DO I was laughing at the green effects they have. Looked like those came straight out of xcom

and the units that duplicate when hit, their splitting animation kind of reminds me of the thin men shapeshifting with all that twitching

The NG+ mode is trash to me. None of the cards or cosmetics carry over, you just get all the characters from the start which is immersion breaking since you can take hulk with you on a mission to rescue bruce banner and shyt. So essentially you still have to grind, Only advantage is the relationship levels carry over so you start out with all the passives.
Would rather they did the exact opposite and give us all the cards from the beginning, but we still have to unlock characters as the story progesses.
