Marvel’s Midnight Suns (Mac) 

Marvel’s Midnight Suns on Mac

Marvel’s Midnight Suns is a tactical role-playing game created by Firaxis Games and Marvel Games. The game features comic book heroes from various Marvel Comics franchises, including the Midnight Sons, Avengers, X-Men, and Runaways.

The player assumes control of a superhero called “The Hunter” and delves into a gripping personal story that involves 12 classic Marvel characters (Iron Man, Captain America, Wolverine, Spider-Man, Venom, Morbius, Scarlet Witch, Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel, Blade, Ghost Rider, Storm, Magik, Deadpool, Hulk, and Nico Minoru) in a new, mystical setting.

Story

In Midnight Suns, Lilith, Mother of Demons, has been brought back to life by Hydra with a blend of dark magic and science after being dormant for centuries. She aims to fulfill an ancient prophecy and bring back her evil master, Chthon to Earth. In an attempt to stop her, the Avengers turn to the Midnight Suns (a group of young heroes with powers rooted in the supernatural) and ask them to stop Lilith.

The Hunter, a hero revived from the dead by the Midnight Sun, is tasked with ending Lilith’s dark magic once and for all. The Marvel superheroes are also interested in stopping Lilith’s attack on humanity, so they are helping you out.

Missions

In Marvel’s Midnight Suns, there are tactical missions with goals like removing all enemies, stopping a target’s escape, protecting a device, and many others.

You can change your approach to a mission depending on which of the heroes you bring with you because each of them has its own special abilities, represented by cards in a deck. Once a mission starts, you’ll need to be able to adapt to a battlefield that is always changing in order to succeed.

Combat

Battles take place in a turn-based format. The player has to select only three heroes to bring into battle at the start of each new mission. The ability cards he is given are selected at random and he must use only those cards during the mission. To defeat enemies, The Hunter can use ability cards that have an effect on either his foes, his heroes, or the environment. Each battle requires the player to use their surroundings, move around the field, and line up the perfect shot or combo before unleashing their hero’s devastating abilities.

The Abbey

In between the game’s main events, Midnight Suns gives players the freedom to delve into smaller, more introspective stories.

You are tasked with maintaining and improving your base of operations, known as “The Abbey”, which you can freely roam from a third-person perspective.

The base is also the place where you can interact with the other heroes through conversations, quality time together, and the exchange of presents. The more you spend time with specific heroes, the more conversations and cutscenes you’ll have with them, many of which lead to uplifting or heartbreaking revelations. They also let you discover powerful hidden items and secrets that help you in the battle against Lilith.

Character customization

The Hunter is the first fully customizable original hero in the Marvel Universe. You can personalize his appearance, select the character’s gender, choose his reactions to situations, and select his superpowers from a pool of options.

Conclusion

In Marvel’s Midnight Suns, you and your fellow heroes are already legends and must combine everything in your arsenal to stop Lilith. There is no such thing as learning how to fight or gradually growing stronger. The ability cards offer a breath of fresh air in terms of strategy, letting you create a combat system that gives each hero their own distinct look, feel, and method of play. The game blends a rich story, character relationships, customization, and the progression typical to an RPG with the strategy and combat mechanics of a card-based tactics game.
