Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League Story
A massive departure from the other DC Comics video game adaptations to date, though just the mere title of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League sets out the stall for its setting well enough, there’s a little more to it than that. In a world where the cosmic super-villain Brainiac has corrupted the Justice League to use as his pawns to aid in an invasion of Earth, government agent Amanda Waller realises that the only way to prevent the invasion is to kill the titular Justice League in order to reach Brainiac and perform the same act. A dysfunctional quartet comprising of Captain Boomerang, Deadshot, Harley Quinn and King Shark, the Suicide Squad are forced into action by the bomb collars fastened around necks, resulting in a messy detonation if the group aren’t successful in their mission as they find themselves up against vicious, supercharged versions of The Flash, Batman, Superman and more.
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League Gameplay
Though Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League embraces a similar sort of open world design to the Arkham games that were previous released by developer Rocksteady Studios, the similarities largely end there. Marking a departure from the melee focused single-player only adventures that the London based developer has typically been known for, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Lague is instead an cooperative online multiplayer offering that mostly swaps out close quarter combat for long distance violence. Though it’s also worth mentioning that the entirety of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s story campaign can be completed from start to finish solo, too.
With the shift to ranged weapons (though not exclusively as some characters can still perform melee attacks), Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League also brings a much more frenetic pace and a sense of verticality to the proceedings as players can boost, wall-run and fly to astounding heights as they tangle with the forces of Brainaic and the corrupted Justice League across the besieged city of Metropolis.
Perhaps more similar to live service titles such as Destiny, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is all about combining the different kinds of squad types that each member of the group embodies (support, attack and so on) to ensure that you have an optimum group of misfits for taking on the harder missions and most challenging encounters. Another aspect of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s gameplay design that echoes Bungie’s wildly successful first-person shooter franchise is the gear scores that are used to denote character progression. This essentially means that by upgrading equipment and collecting better gear, your character will become more powerful in turn with certain missions and encounters requiring a certain gearscore becoming available as a result.
As well as a series of story missions, there are also plenty side missions and activities to complete in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League too. Often taking advantage of the game’s frenetic traversal and explorative beats, these additional missions can also yield up valuable gear to help improve that all-important gearscore as you barrel your way towards that final showdown with Brainiac. With Rocksteady Studios promising potentially years of post launch content and a Battle Pass system that allows you to nab some nifty looking cosmetic items, it’s clear that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is absolutely intending to be around for the long haul.
