Most mobs simply throw themselves at you, forcing you to button mash.
Though it's fun to control the superheroes, fighting the fodder enemies quickly becomes a slog. Hulk is a bruiser who pounds foes into submission, while Iron Man is adept at long-range combat thanks to his beam attacks. Thankfully, each Avenger has a distinct feel. Characters have light and heavy attacks, special abilities, and either a dodge or parry. If you’re familiar with modern-day, third-person superhero action games, such as Sony's Spider-Man or the Batman: Arkham titles, you’ll quickly acclimate to the controls. Though Khan is the main protagonist, you also control Hulk, Iron Man, Black Widow, Thor, and Captain America. In fact, the game could have been called Kamala Khan and the Avengers, and the title would have worked. It was a good decision to make Khan the audience surrogate, because seeing the world through he eyes makes for a more immersive gameplay experience. This is easier said than done, considering the ragged state of the now-disbanded group.ĭespite bearing the Avengers moniker, the story focuses on Kamala Khan. The Avengers-obsessed teenager finds evidence of AIM’s treachery, and goes on a quest to reunite the team she loves. One of the resistance members is the aforementioned Kamala Khan. Because its robots and security guards roam America’s streets, an underground resistance forms with the goal to expose AIM's villainy.
Though benevolent on the surface, AIM has less than altruistic motives.
A scientific think tank organization named Advanced Idea Mechanics (AIM) steps in to take the place of superheroes. As a result, the world bans superhero activities, and the surviving Avengers split up. The Helicarrier explodes, destroying San Francisco and releasing a strange mist that gives some survivors superpowers, including protagonist Kalama Khan. The Avengers leap into battle and seemingly emerge victorious before things take a turn for the worse. The festivities end when an unknown terrorist group attacks the Golden Gate Bridge and the SHIELD Helicarrier holding the celebration. The story begins on “A-Day,” a massive celebration held in San Francisco for the world’s mightiest heroes. This is either a huge selling point or a reason to pass on the PC game, depending on your tolerance for grinding gear. Avengers places a stronger emphasis on storytelling than the aforementioned titles, but its looter-shooter roots remain an inescapable component. This Crystal Dynamics-developed project removes the "shooter" aspect and replaces it with third-person melee combat and legendary superheroes. Though those titles are still viable, the genre isn't quite as popular as it used to be just a few years ago. The looter-shooter genre made a big splash with games like Destiny and The Division.
