Avengers Review: 3 Ups & 8 Downs

Ups

3. Combat DOES Get There (After 6-8 Hours)

There are issues with homogenisation across the character pool as everyone gets light and heavy attacks, everyone has ranged throws and majority get parries too, but after enough time invested, you will start to meaningfully differentiate from hero to hero.

A fully upgraded Cap can target up to 6 foes with one throw of his shield, kicking the returning disc back out into the fray for additional damage. A levelled up Kamala grabs high-level opponents out the enemy line, before leaping up and slamming them down for radial splash damage.

Across the board you can see that idea of the Avengers being a gang of differentiable heroes coming through, but the A-to-B on that progression does take literal hours.

Thankfully though, if you put the time in and flesh everyones' skill tree out, this varied roster does start to feel like one.
