The realm of live-service superhero games is under scrutiny due to titles like Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League and Marvel's Avengers. The latter, released in 2020, suffered from a lackluster narrative, limited content, and an excessive focus on microtransactions, serving as a cautionary tale until its shutdown in September last year.
Despite these warnings, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League repeated many of Marvel's Avengers' mistakes. With a disappointing story and lack of engaging endgame activities, the game is at a crossroads. However, there's still hope for Suicide Squad to avoid a significant misstep made by Marvel's Avengers.
How Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Can Evade a Crucial Avengers Blunder
Marvel's Avengers' Missed Opportunity with Captain Marvel
While Marvel's Avengers included familiar characters like Iron Man and Hulk, the absence of Captain Marvel disappointed fans. Despite references to her in the base game, she never made an appearance. Speculation grew after leaks suggested her inclusion, but the character never materialized, leaving fans unsatisfied.
Suicide Squad Must Prioritize Exciting DLC Characters
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League risks repeating history by delaying the release of anticipated DLC characters. With The Joker set for release, the focus should shift to introducing Deathstroke promptly. The game's underwhelming performance underscores the need to revitalize interest by delivering content fans truly desire.
Despite the challenges, there's an opportunity for Suicide Squad to learn from past mistakes. By prioritizing the release of its most exciting DLC, such as Deathstroke, the game can avoid disappointing its player base before it's too late.
