Everything you need to know about Marvel's Midnight Suns

Anyone familiar with Firaxis Games' XCOM series will feel at home with the fundamental gameplay elements of Marvel's Midnight Suns. The turn based tactical combat will begin with players selecting their squad of three (including their version of The Hunter) and dealing their abilities through a deck system.

Players will have to analyze the battlefield and leverage their enemy's abilities with their own in order to control the fight. The pace allows for decision based combat and movement where brute force is seldom a viable option. Environmental hazards, situationally sensitive attacks and hugely cinematic finishers add an extra layer of superhero spectacle.

When not pushing back Lillith and HYDRA's forces, players can explore and upgrade their base, The Abbey. RPG elements will allow players to make decisions and interact with other Marvel heroes to drive a unique narrative which is heavily influenced but not adapted from the original comic book run.

A brand new player controlled super-hero created for the game, The Hunter is fully customizable, both aesthetically and with unique combinations of up to 40 superpowers. Alongside a massive cast including Captain America, Wolverine, Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Blade, Magick, Ghost Rider, Captain Marvel and more, players can unlock a slew of unique costumes and abilities for their favorite heroes.

Many abilities allow for characters to combine their skills in team up moves which will open the door for some interesting coalitions. Fan favorites and lesser known characters will each serve their own purpose in battle whether its Magick's portals, Iron Man's flight, Cap's shield or Blade's ranged attacks allowing players to try a variable approach to emerge victorious.

The tactical combat will also force players to be adaptable in their squad creation; different situations will call for a different line-up to support player's own version of The Hunter.
