Rocksteady’s long-awaited action-packed third-person shooter, Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, has finally been released. The game has been the subject of a lot of anticipation, controversy, and buzz over the years, with many hoping for a truly exceptional gaming experience. Unfortunately, the final product leaves much to be desired.
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League is set in the same universe as Rocksteady’s popular Arkham games, taking place several years after the events of Arkham Knight. The story follows the Suicide Squad – consisting of Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, King Shark, and Deadshot – as they embark on a mission to save the world by taking down the Justice League, who have been mind-controlled by Brainiac and his alien allies.
While the narrative may not break new ground, it is a well-written comic book adventure with engaging twists and turns. The game effectively portrays the unique personalities and interactions of each character within the Suicide Squad, making their collective journey a compelling one.
The game’s main campaign starts off strong with a captivating introduction but loses momentum as it unfolds. The gameplay primarily involves repetitive tasks such as patrolling, shooting crystals, and rescuing civilians, leaving much to be desired in terms of variety and depth.
Despite the engaging combat and impressive character abilities, the game suffers from repetitive and uninspired mission design. The introduction of forced modifications on certain missions can also hinder the player’s preferred playstyle, leading to frustrating experiences.
Overall, while Suicide Squad offers an engaging combat experience and an interesting narrative, it falls short in terms of mission variety and overall depth. The game’s focus on repetitive tasks and a lackluster ending detract from its potential as a long-lasting, engaging gaming experience.
Despite its shortcomings, Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League remains a competent shooter and may appeal to certain players, but it ultimately feels like a missed opportunity for a truly exceptional gaming experience.
