In the video released during State of Play, there was a lot of information about Rocksteady Studio’s latest title: Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. However, we are here to give you a small summary of all the data to remember.
What is Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League?
For those who don’t know yet, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice is coming 5 years after the events of Arkham Knight with Batman. Metropolis is at its worst and only the Suicide Squad can come to the aid of civilians. It’s kind of fun to cast the bad guys to play the good guys, but it’s a bias that has worked very well in film. So why not do it in a game?
then you will embody Harley Quinn, King Shark, Deadshot and Captain Boomerang, in a very particular mission: to fight against the Justice League. Of course, the heroes of old have gone rogue, wreaking havoc instead of bringing peace. In order to give a little more material to the players, who for the moment had only been able to see fragments of gameplay, the Rocksteady teams made the decision to show a mission accomplished during this inventory. We also take this opportunity to say that there will be no postponement, Sony confirms launch for May. So see you on May 26, 2023 to play it.
From zero to hero
All playable characters have very unique game mechanic. Just like Gotham Knight, each protagonist holding hands must be totally different from the others. Harley Quinn will be very acrobatic, King Shark will offer more strength and powerful jumps, Deadshot will benefit from his great precision and Captain Boomerang from his speed, each character has unique abilities that characterize their type of game.
You can see great verticality in the movements, as well as a freedom of movement which will be able to keep a good number of players in suspense. Although we never had the game in hand, we have the impression that there is a good feeling of the blows to the opponents. At least we hope so, because this very dynamic video gives the impression that our shots have a real impact. A sound design parasitized by the musicit is still very difficult to form an opinion on the subject.
Unsurprisingly, the members of the Suicide Squad are relatively happy to legally wreak havoc. We’ll see how they change throughout the story, but this title seems very funny to me and can make many players smile.
“With Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, we want to create a game where the city itself is part of the fight. To do this, we knew we had to create our biggest map yet – Metropolis is more than twice the size of Batman: Arkham Knight’s Gotham – but it’s not just about size – we put in our world the details and personality that we think it feels alive. , and what players expect from us. “
A colorful title
From a technical point of view, the game is very colorful, even too much in combat. Although the map is open and larger than its last title, Rocksteady Studios got us used to much darker scenes with the artistic direction of Batman: Arkham Knight. After all, it can certainly be explained by the quirky and comedic side of our villains.
From a storyline perspective, it’s a little nerve-wracking to see the “good guys” turn into bad guys, but in a way, it’s kind of groundbreaking. The heroes we know so well have now become other people. We feel a certain reliability in the original character of the characters.
Although there are fears, it will be necessary to wait to form a real opinion on this game. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League will be released on May 26, 2023 on PS5, Xbox Series and PC. And, of course, you can play online co-op with up to four players or solo.
