Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has resurfaced once again, and Rocksteady Studios is now giving us a live-service action game where our favorite dysfunctional Task Force X faces off against a handful of mind-controlled Justice League members - because, you know, we haven't seen superheroes being mind-controlled enough in every other comic book story.
The recently released gameplay trailer revealed the first episode, Suicide Squad Insider, giving us a sneak peek into the game's early stages. Here, our beloved misfits - Captain Boomerang, Harley Quinn, King Shark, and Deadshot - are let loose in Metropolis, with their first big heist being raiding the Hall of Justice for gear.
They soon bump into Flash and Green Lantern, and surprise, surprise, our anti-heroes realize they need more than witty banter to take down these Justice Leaguers. Here, we meet Penguin, Gotham's shady arms dealer, who's conveniently set up in Metropolis, peddling anti-metahuman weaponry like a cosmic arms fair.
Rocksteady wasn't shy about flaunting the gameplay, showcasing each Squad member's unique abilities. These include mobility, flashy moves, and over-the-top ultimate finishing moves that can knock out any enemies. In addition to this, each character boasts a pretty handy attack move that can break enemy shields and set them up for critical hits, adding a dash of strategy to the usual button-mashing chaos.
