Thank you for this awesome breakdown! Glad to hear you've reached this milestone, hope we'll get more of your epic reviews!

In retrospect, waiting for the sale was a great idea. I have been playing it for the last 3 or 4 days. I am very surprised how much I am enjoying it. And a little surprised it didn't do better financially. Just a lot of fun to play.

This is such a time vampyre! I get the "just one more turn" syndrome because there's always something to grind and upgrade and you need just one more mission.

As always really like your even handed approach to reviews. I appreciate that you don't get hyperbolic regarding game faults. Appreciate that you don't beat us over the head with negativity. As close to an objective review as I have seen.

I was expecting very little from this and it ended up being my absolute favorite game to play this fall. It is just superb.

It feels like a modern day turn based JRPG, like updated just enough to look fire, but it’s just turn based final fantasy type combat, simple and fun and operates well, with the Marvel. Story bland but it’s also lit cause wtf why is blade and iron man fighting lilith, Lucifer’s supposed wife…

You deserve all the growth you get man, as a fellow trpg/srpg lover awesome channel

I know a lot of people have been turned off by the friendship/ relationship simulation aspect of the game, but I have to say, I loved all that stuff. Call me a total nerd, but I loved hanging out with and having deep conversations with my favorite Marvel heroes, and I genuinely started to feel a kinship with some of them. Yes, there's an apocalypse going on and it may seem weird to have club activities and casual hangouts during all that, but keep in mind this is established from the get go to be a long-term, ongoing threat, and these are superheroes-they deal with this kind of thing all the time. It's just another day on the job for them, so of course they have to unwind and indulge in personal hobbies at the end of the day. No one can be in crisis mode 24/7, so I think all that stuff worked really nicely and gave the game some depth and variety beyond just being a card combat game.

Thanks for revisiting MMS, and thank you for the review. Onward to 200k. All glory to the algorithm.

I can pretty much agree with your assessments. The only difference I have is the story. I actually loved it. For me, since my Hunter is the main character, I was creating my own story of sorts, I didnt have too much a pre existing notion of all the other heroes. If I tried to identify the actual hero to what I expected them to act like, I would agree. The story was kind of bunk. However, dropping that preconceived notion and let the story develope as unique, then I really started enjoying it and was honestly pretty sad when it ended. I love the friendship simulator, but wouldn't mind getting out of the friend zone with some characters should I choose too...if you know what I mean...Overall amazing game. The only thing keeping me out of it is the performance. I operates fine for awhile. I am guessing there is a massive memory leak cause the performance gets progressively worse over time. I need to reboot my entire system just to get it back to "Ok" performance.

The friendship as you describe it feels like it was made for a game with a different story. While becoming friends with Captain America sounds appealing it seems too out of character for him to pal about and form a book club when there should be stuff to do. I wouldn't be surprised it was repurposed from Chimera Squad. Or hell a Firaxis take on a game like Persona.

Thanks for making the video, had no idea of the channel but yt algo popped up. I got the legendary version of this game 2 days ago during BFCM sale for around USD26.30. I had read into a ton of reviews and it is the only game I bought during this black friday. About 10 hours in right now and I don't regret buying! Agree that it probably doesn't needed the friendship sim, if they wanted it to work, they should've invested more into it as a dating sim instead.

Nice review I subscribed to your channel

After beating the game with all the DLC, I can easily say this is one of my favorites of all time, and that's partly because I'm a super hero fan and the characters are all very fleshed out with a great deal of dialogue and banter between one another. The other part is the strategic gameplay, which was much more satisfying than I expected it to be.

Does anyone know if the add-ons that you can purchase add more stories or elements, or is it purely just cosmetics?

This is the review I've agreed with most about this game. I was a bit worried for the first few hours, but I enjoyed XCOM so much I wanted to give it a fair shake, and so far I agree, the combat is a lot of fun. The positioning and knocking enemies around reminds me of Into the Breach a bit. That said, I definitely found myself cringing at a lot of the dialog and wondering what those poor VAs were thinking having to read that. At least it settles into more simple corny fun (instead of just corny) a few hours in.

A couple of things ... While the writing isn't great, the voice acting is amazing. Steve Blum as Wolvy, Jennifer Hale as Lilith, Michael Jai White as Blade, Yuri Lowenthal as Spidey, Laura Bailey as Magik. It is obvious why the needed to charge AAA price, as the voice crew is definitely AAA tier talent. Many of the characters that are acting childish, is actually on point if you are familiar with their comic book persona. The arrogance of Strange and Stark is definitely on point, Magik being stunted emotionally and being reclusive is on point. Spidey feeling inadequate to the other heroes, Blade's whole tough guy act, Cap's positivity are also all on point. Second point ... I really like the plot of the story. I love how you the main character is like "What do you mean I am the leader, I have only ever been just a weapon to bring down my mother." I love the story with the ghost and exploring the Abby grounds and learning about the elder gods(not talked about much in the MCU). Third point ... I, too, feared the combat with the cards would be a mess but have been pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoy it. Finally, I have been telling my friends that unless you just desperately want this game it is best to wait and pick it up on sale. I think a good price point would have been around 30-40 USD.

Thanks for your hard work.

Does anyone know if the story missions difficulty is static? As in, if you level up with general missions and other ways, does the difficulty stay the same on the story missions, or does it increase difficulty as you level up? I'm trying to beef up my characters as much as I can before I progress too far in the story.

In all cases the HP and damage of your enemies scales with the combined levels of your team on the mission. Powering up your characters with better decks, upgraded cards etc does not affect the difficulty, so can make the game easier.

It's crazy, I'll wait years for a game to come out and I will play it 30hrs and be done with it. I just check this game out on a whim and Ive been hooked for weeks! The gameplay loop is just so relaxing to me!

By that I mean very simplistic erosion of tactics. I know of rainbow moon and fire emblem series. Thanks for the help. Great review again.

I completed it and jumped straight into new game plus I’m now playing the hunter as a tank with counters and heroism build

Wow, you summed up my sentiments almost exactly. Got it free from Epic and the beginning was pretty boring : I felt like I had to power through 30 minutes of boredom to get 10 minutes of exciting fight. I was on the verge of stopping it, but then the game opened up, the dialogues/friendship simulator took less room, and the combat was more front and center. And the combat is super fun! I also like the strategic element (building decks, sending heroes on ops, etc.), but there are some irritants (having to move around the Abbey and different menus to burn, build and upgrade cards is annoying). I'm still playing it and do lots of side missions, but I'm having a blast. I just skip most dialogues to get to the fun faster, and it's helping a lot. Thanks for this review ans all the others! I enjoy your content. :)

Yeah guess the jokes did not land for you. I agree the start of the abbey stuff is not great, but they have some amazing jokes, and there is SO MUCH Dialogue, from you talking to people and other people having conversations not involving you that you can overhear. Look me a while to get into it, but it really added to the atomosphere for me. And some of the writing is really really good. I particulary liked Blade teasing Robbie about not knowing the location of Transia on a map. I guess the joke is a bit meta as Transia is a fictional country, so kinda hard for anyone to put on a map :D, but it made me laugh.

Waiting was a good idea. It is available for free this week. At the time of this post only roughly one more hour though.

Glad to see this review, wasn't at all interested when I heard about this game but heard so much good stuff I'm really interested bow and would love your opinion.

I am surprisingly really really liking the game

This was my favorite game of last year, easily. The combat was so damn good!! I hope that they take this system and use it in a lot more games. With some enhancements like adding verticality to it. I agree that the first few hours were a little rough, but I actually enjoyed the story and writing a lot. Now, I am a total Marvel guy so that definitely helps, but I'm not gonna lie. At the end before the final battle, I got a little misty, especially when talking to Charlie. It's such a shame that this game wasn't more successful. I think that the card-based aspect of it was a hard no for a lot of people that were already TRPG fans.

I just picked this game up on a steam sale and I don't regret it. I agree with most of yoyr assessments, but the combat really does carry the game past it's shortcomings.

Missed opportunity to release this review at Midnight. Maybe if we haven’t been beaten senseless with superhero films the past decade I’d probably check this out.

so realistically, I couldn't fight Venom at the clock tower - on the hardest unlocked difficulty - with my endgame cards. only ever, would I be able to do is - Fight Venom on the Hardest Difficulty, with current cards only.

Just got this game for free with my RTX 3070 (Christmas gift) and loving it so far. I was a big comic book nerd in the 70s and early 80s, and this game is just checking a lot of my nerd boxes for me.

I found the dialogue to be more fun at the beginning before every character was either complaining about no one saving a particular character yet, and before the grand "you're in charge Hunter" jamboree that was immediately followed the next morning with, "I forbid you to do this Hunted." Between that and every character blaming themselves for things, the bickering, etc. the friendship simulator was not fun for large chunks of time. Also for a game called Midnight Suns, it felt like the Avengers were the heroes. But combat is great, love the animations.

As an update, I'm enjoying this game a fair bit, which I didn't expect with the card mechanics. However I've noticed my clear times starting to drop, and out of curiosity I looked up a video of a couple people playing at higher difficulties and levels, and I got to say I didn't like what I saw. They were clearing an encounter in 1-3 turns, but it was like 40 minutes of playing free cards to stack redraws and just continuously cycling cards for quick attacks, free play mark cards, and heroism to spend on environmental attacks. This aspect of playing the *deck* as opposed to playing the heroes vs the enemies is exactly the kind of thing that made me wary of using cards as part of the game in the first place.

Waiting for a sale on this one.

This game was made for people like me. I'm a Marvel Comics fan, and still have my Rise of the Midnight Suns and Midnight Massacre comics from the 90s. I'm also a fan of Firaxis's X-com games, Bioware dialogue choices, and Slay the Spire. So this game is everything I could want. Every Marvel game doesn't have to be the same. Years ago, after playing X-com 2, I thought EA should have made a Star Wars tactical RPG game, as they had an exclusive license at the time. I'm an even bigger Marvel fan, and never thought about using Superheroes, so I've been excited for this ever since the announcement at Summer Gamesfest in 2021. Don't get me wrong, I like real time action games as well. The combat in Guardians was average, but the Storytelling was great, I've spent hundreds of hours leveling all the characters in the Avengers game, which has great combat, but bad support post release for a service game. Liked most of Spider-Man PS4, ,sans the stealth missons ,and even re-bought Ultimate Alliance 1 and 2 when they were digitally re-released on PS4 and Xbox one in 2016. I also played X-Men Legends 1 and 2, 4 player on the original Xbox with friends 20 years ago, played the 3 MCU game/movie tie ins, and other things like Rise of the Imperfects, Shattered Dimensions & X-Men Origins Wolverine. We've had enough Marvel action games, and they're making more. Fans of other genres should have some Marvel Games in those genres as well. I'm loving Midnight Suns. I don't think there is anything wrong with the dialogue in the game. It's very Saturday morning cartoon expository, because this game is made for kids to adults, and you have to introduce the characters and mythos for people who may not be Marvel fans, or only know Marvel through the MCU. So characters have to over explain and reference, and that doesn't make the dialogue bad. A lot of good character work is done in the dialogue, and it pays off because you do feel familiar with the characters as the game progresses. If you don't like the micro management in the X-com base building, or managing relationships in Mass Effect or Fire Emblem, this game isn't going to be for you. But if you do like those things and X-com, you're going to love this.

While the friendship dialogue could be pretty dumb, it felt comic book dumb so it didn't overly bother me. As the game went on, I actually started looking forward to those interactions just for the game lore. I also was skeptical of the card system, but I got into that as well. The thing I neglected that I wished I had paid attention to from the jump was the crafting.

Great review as always! Your conclusion is basically what WE all feel about the game: Good combat mechanics, but the rest of it is, meh...We've seen better. If I want to see character conversation, I will play Baldur's 3, research is a joke, the abbey is boring and not interesting to explore, some of the heroes are OK, others are like some 10 years old children's...and btw, Captain America's voice is the same one as the Central (John Bradford) from Xcom 2 :)

Honestly have not been able to put this game down. While a small amount of the writing can be very cringey, the overall story has been very good so far. I forget off hand if this game is T or M, but I think they may have toned down some of the dialogue in an effort to market to a larger audience. The friendship system has been a fun addition to me. Although some of the reactions to the dialogue options seem to make no sense, I think it's a fun mechanic that really speaks to fans of the Marvel universe. I do, however, agree that the gameplay, which I thought I'd have to suffer through to enjoy the other parts of the game, has been very well implemented and, most often, the perfect blend of challenging & fun. The only other TRPG I've played was Mutant: Year Zero, which I really liked, but thought was too challenging and complicated for a fringed fan of the genre, like me, to fully enjoy. This game is very, pick up and play, friendly, while offering a deeper challenging aspects to get those fulfilling 3 star mission ratings.

Thanks a million for the review. I was considering this game but thought the price was too high and also assumed right away, that the story and dialogue wouldn’t be great. So…..I’m definitely waiting for a sale before buying this game.

Can you do Phoenix point with all dlc's? Big fan!

For anyone curious, the first 5 hours are Captain Marvel missions.

main gripe for me are the bugs. there are quite a few of them. for one, some environments and game assets will be on the map but wont actually be active. also, while the last fight was cool, you cant use some of the legendary abilities. one thing you want to do in the game is pet charlie every day as its how you level up her deck (and well, duh. pet charlie!). however, you really cant summon her in the last fight as you will likely fail it (not saying why for spoilers). same goes for some of the other legendary abilities. there are a few that just dont work well on the last fight.

I picked this game up recently during a Steam sale, and I was pleasantly surprised by it! I remember seeing ads for the game and wanting to give it a shot, but never got around to it. I was surprised to find out that the game was considered a failure. I hope we at least get an expansion out of Firaxis, because I gave up any notion of a sequel after hearing that.

There is actually a whole lot of great features in the game outside of combat.

Point Taken, however, every review I've seen has listed Story and Character as a negative of the game and that is a significant requirement of mine, in a game like this. In several games I can look past such things when they aren't the focus or main selling point, so for example I love the Mass Effect series and Andromeda failed to live up to its own standard, I still played it, still liked it but I hated paying full price for it at launch. These days I wait for reviews and price drops to fit its worth, in my eyes at least. Also, the microtransaction for skins in an SP game is a massive red flag and I don't want to do anything that the publishers see as acceptance of this terrible direction in game development.

and even in combat it looks to get repetitive pretty quickly

The good thing about following Mort for a long time is that you can imagine what opinion he will have on certain games. In this case it was not a surprise, anyway, excellent review.

About your comment of characters mentioning events that haven't happened I had one where the hunter was talking to Wanda on his mother's reason for becoming evil and I was like why tf did the game randomly spoil something towards the end so early for me?

i get what people are saying about the writing but i love it, reminds me of a spiderman comic. which im sure was kind of the point.

Thanks for the review! I'll buy this when its 5$ in about 8 years.
