Romier S Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 It’s a tactical RPG from the makers of X-Com and Civilizaton! Quote When Hell awakens, only they can stop it. Rise up and join a darker order of heroes to defeat Lilith before the Darkhold is complete in this tactical RPG set in the darker side of the Marvel Universe.

Angry the Clown Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 I forgot all about the rumours for this one. Honestly I thought it was just an expansion for the Square game when that trailer began on the Gamescom show. I was really hoping it would embrace more of a colourful comic book style in the art direction. The gameplay reveal is happening September 1st.

ChrisBardon Posted August 25, 2021 Report Share Posted August 25, 2021 First thing I thought of when I saw the title: Early 90s Marvel grimdark books. Looks like that's at least part of the inspiration with hell-ified versions of characters like Wolverine, Iron Man, Captain Marvel and Captain America? I mean, it's a tactical game from Firaxis, and it's Marvel, so I'm going to at least look at it. Please be good. Is it wrong that I kind of want to go back and play Freedom Force now?

Here you can talk to Tony to make new weapons for you that unlock new cards, Train with Blade to upgrade cards - if you have duplicate of a card you can mix them to make an upgraded version - Talking to characters in the hub unlocks passive abilities and combos with that character - Each hero has a legendary ability called "The Midnight Sun" only once you built that character's midnight suit which require you to max your friendship with a character Card based tactical RPG?

Adam Tyner Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 Delayed again. No adjusted date - just “this fiscal year”, so no later than March 2023 (barring further delays). dogbert and Romier S 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted August 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 God, just be good when it does finally hit. The potential is certainly there and if the delay means a better game, so be it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foogledricks Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 What the shit? How was this not on my radar?

Angry the Clown Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 I'm surprised this thread wasn't updated after the game's release as it's been very well received critically. https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/marvels-midnight-suns-review https://www.theguardian.com/games/2022/nov/30/marvel-midnight-suns-review-superheroes-nintendo-switch-pc-playstation-4-5-xbox-firaxis2k https://www.eurogamer.net/marvels-midnight-suns-review-crush-evil-dm-the-avengers-and-find-that-perfect-bedside-table https://www.theverge.com/23490255/marvel-midnight-suns-review-firaxis-xcom I wasn't expecting Persona and Fire Emblem inspired social aspects to the game, and that's really caught my interest and left me wanting to check it out at some point in the future.

Magness Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 I was thinking this had still been delayed to 2023, and hadn't even realized it came out. To be fair with God of war, Calisto protocol and all of the other big releases lately it was easy to miss. Reviews are good though so I may grab it as an alternate while working through GoW.
