Marvel's Midnight Suns review - more RPG game, less XCOM

When I signed up to write our Marvel's Midnight Suns review, I didn't expect to play what I can confidently say is the sleeper hit of the year. Over the course of sixty hours, the superhero game has continued to surprise me with brain teasing challenges, well-developed characters, and much, much more. Suffice to say, Firaxis has crafted a truly excellent tactical RPG that's worthy of a place alongside the XCOM series and already has me hungry for more.

The time is finally upon us for the Midnight Suns to rise up and save the world from Hydra and Lilith's demonic forces! Marvel's Midnight Suns is now available for Steam.

Set in the darker, supernatural side of the Marvel Universe, Marvel's Midnight Suns is a tactical role-playing game that blends rich storytelling and relationship building with a revolutionary card-based combat system. As the Hunter, the only hero ever to have defeated Lilith eons ago, you get to fight alongside and forge friendships with Blade, Doctor Strange, Nico Minoru, and Spider-Man, as well as other members of The Avengers, X-Men, and Runaways.

Turn-based tactical missions fought on constantly changing battlefields require you to think strategically every step of the way. Whether you're repositioning one of your heroes, playing one of their unique ability cards, or looking for opportunities to use the environment to your advantage, every decision counts. The choices you make when hanging out and chatting with other heroes in and around the Abbey between missions also have consequences, as befriending heroes is a great way to unlock powerful combo abilities and passive bonuses that come into play when you fight alongside them.

From hanging out with iconic Super Heroes in the Abbey to taking on Hydra and the demonic forces of Lilith in tactical combat, there is much to discover in Marvel’s Midnight Suns. We hope you enjoy every minute of your experience with the game!

Marvel's Midnight Suns system requirements

Marvel's Midnight Suns system requirements don't call for a super-powered gaming PC, with the strategy game seemingly bucking the recent trend of its peers by not demanding fairly high-end specs. However, there may still be some demanding settings like ray tracing for those with more capable hardware.
