I think the Slay the Spire comparison is pretty apt. My number one question is what type of Marvel universe is this? Because every time I look at it, I feel more and more confused. It's not MCU. This is not like fucking Robert Downey Jr. popping around and dropping cards. The game is set in a sort of alternate whatever where this character named Lilith who's like a demon is basically going to ruin the world. You know what it feels like to me?
Marvel's Midnight Suns is a tactics game from XCOM developer Firaxis, only instead of shooting aliens a hundred times from behind cover, you play cards to beat ass with your best friend, Blade. This is, objectively, a very good idea, but how well does the rest of the game hold up? Also, what's on our backlog as we approach the GOTY proceedings?
