Card-Based Marvel's Midnight Suns - Marvel universe card-based tactical RPG from Firaxis

[ArchAngel]

I had no interest in this game until the new trailers.

Now I'm excited for this as it looks to be a hilarious trainwreck in making.

It will certainly provide us with some entertaining drama for a day or so.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

So it's just a TB button masher with a randomizer squeezed inbetween.

Marvel-lous(y).

 

[Galdred]

That Enter Sandman cover was rather metaphorical. Take the essence of something great (while ignoring the better choices in the catalog) and then reduce what you have to a beige nothingness. Present it to the audience and pretend it's something wonderful and new.

And do they use that shaved side of the head unironically? I mean, they have to know that it has ceased to be "edgy", if it ever was.

Another possible reason would be to push cosmetic DLC with another haircut.


This gameplay video was much better than the first one. It did showcase both types of movement (tied to card, and free), which my main complain.

I am not sure this brings anything better than Trials of Fire, Gloomhaven or Card hunter to the table (which were all pretty good IMO), apart from the Marvel characters, especially now that they replaced the usual Geoscape with playing therapist for Marvel characters.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

"I hope to die in my bed making XCOM....18."

"Is Captain America in the game?"
"He is one of two Captains. The other being Level Cap."

Well at least Jake hasn't gone full cynical yet. That gives me hope.

[Grokalibre]

Looks like a great rpg but where is batman?

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Delayed to H2 2022.

 

[Fedora Master]

Oh no, how terrible.
Fuck off Firaxis.

 

[Zeriel]

Jake you're gonna have to really up your pace if you want to make it to 18. Where's 3?!

 

[Mazisky]

It would be really nice if this will be canceled.

 

[Assisted Living Godzilla]

From a presentational standpoint the game looks pretty shitty, so a delay seems like a good thing.

 

[Darth Canoli]

It would be really nice if this will be canceled.

I want to buy a cheap second hand boxed version of this for target practice when they release it in 2025.

I really hope they got some lukewarm reaction at best but nowadays you can't really know...

you think they'll bother with a boxed release, considering the expected shovelware quality of that game?

XCOM: Enemy Unknown looked like a Xbox Live game back when it came out...you better believe this game is getting a boxed release.

Is the first symbol warning that it has asexuality? Those damn asexuals ruining everything.

 

[Zeriel]

Okay, so at a glance, from left to right:

WARNING: ASEXUALITY, Man Running From Gays, Overwatch, """aliens"""", heroin, coins with an umbilical cord, microtransactions

 

[Morpheus Kitami]

If I had to guess from left to right...
Sex, violence, ???, foul language, drugs, gambling, microtransactions. You know, what's in every game these days.
Worst Korea really needs to work on the readability of these damn things.

 

[Lacrymas]

The handcuffs are probably criminality. I have no idea about the three lightning bolts.

Do they have a updated release date yet?

For a game that was originally going to release two month ago, they are awfully quiet about it.
