Kiltman Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Announced at Gamescom, though it had leaked out prior to E3. The game, available for PC, PlayStation and Xbox consoles, and the Nintendo Switch, will launch in March 2022. It's going to be an Xcom style tactical rpg. The character they are resurrecting in the trailer is called The Hunter and it's a totally customizable hero the Devs and Marvel created. The child of Lilith, who will be the antagonist. She's the mother of demons in the Comics. Midnight Suns follows a similar trek as the comics crossover storyline called Rise of the Midnight Sons, where characters including Ghost Rider and Blade joined forces to battle Lilith, the mother of demons. only Hydra has revived Lilith in the game. The Avengers enlist the help of four supernatural characters to aid them: Ghost Rider, Blade, Magik and Nico Minoru. The game marks a first for both Firaxis and Marvel: the debut of a customizable hero called The Hunter, the child of Lilith resurrected by Marvel's supernatural heroes to help in the fight. Like XCOM, Midnight Suns is turn-based, which means players must meticulously strategize how they want heroes to attack enemy characters within the game. However, that's where similarities between the two end, said Solomon. Unlike XCOM, where the enemies are the most powerful threat, Midnight Suns places all that power within the heroes players control. Solomon said game play is more about how "to use this battlefield as a playground." "It still scratches the same itch, but it’s an entirely different set of mechanics," he said. Also important, said Solomon, are the relationships players forge between The Hunter and other heroes. Between missions, heroes gather in The Abbey, a central hub where players can augment heroes' abilities and connect with some of their favorite Marvel characters. "We want the player to put themselves into this game," said Solomon. "That meant having an avatar, that meant a customizable character both in terms of the way The Hunter looks and the way that they play. We want the player to feel like they’re at the center of the story and they’re standing alongside these characters that they know and love." Firaxis and 2K said a demo of the gameplay within Midnight Suns will be released on September 1 at the website www.midnightsuns.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltman Posted August 25, 2021 Author Share Posted August 25, 2021 "It sounds like Midnight Suns will eventually feature 12-13 playable heroes, but these are the members of the game’s roster that have been confirmed so far:" Dr. Strange Magik Iron Man Wolverine The Hunter Ghost Rider Blade Captain America Nico Captain Marvel If the name “The Hunter” doesn’t ring any bells, that’s because they’re the player character that Firaxis created specifically for the purposes of this game (with Marvel’s approval). Curious who the other 2-3 will be, and surely there will be an expansion that bring in some more. Moon Knight would make a lot of sense, a bunch of others.

RJ_11 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Turn-based strategy games are not for me at all. But this trailer was so awesome - I'm not a Marvel fan either so not a clue who all those people/things were, it just looked seriously cool.

I think it looks fine, I just don't see why I'd play this over XCOM unless I was a huge Marvel fan and needed to play all the Marvel games.

Game is basura. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard some solid things, only big negatives were it can feel a little platonic fan fic outside of the battles. Be apparently there is a lot there making relationships with the other characters, seen some comparisons to Mass Effect in that department. I’m maxed out on games right now, I’ll pick it up on sale too in the spring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it for $40 from Gamestop. It's... fine? Some fun stuff. Since it's a card game, the battle system is not really like XCOM like I had hoped. How else you spend your day is already a little redundant too. I'm a little surprised at the high ratings it got. Again, not a bad game, but not a great one either.

MikeT14 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I think the biggest thing for me is I don't see where I will get the replay value of it, unlike XCOM that I have played through 100 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
