Marvel's Midnight Suns is a turn-based tactics game featuring superheroes and card-based combat. You must stop Lilith, the Mother of Demons, by creating a custom character and meeting familiar and new heroes. With dynamic battles, customizable characters, explorable hubs with secrets, and comedic banter between characters, it has something for everyone.


What we like:
  • Dynamic card combat system
  • Robust customization options
  • Fully explorable hub with secrets
  • Humorous jokes between characters
  • Unique abilities for each hero
What could be improved:
  • Bloated with currencies and resources
  • Poor visuals for idle animations
  • Visual bug for concealed units
  • Occasional freezing/crashing when saving manually
