There comes a point, though, where I feel that a lot of these systems could either have been consolidated or removed outright because it feels like you spend as much time (if not more) worrying about numbers than playing the game.Д®ven with its accountant-level numbers game, The Black Order is still really fun to play and is a great addition to your SwitchвЂ™s library. All these boosts, both permanent and temporary, are necessary because without them, youвЂ™ll quickly discover that these superheroes grow increasingly weaker to bosses as you advance through the story. And to top it all off, youвЂ™ll get an additional percentage boosts by building themed hero teams, like all women, members of the Avengers and X-Force, all webslingers, and anti-heroes to name a few. Instead, youвЂ™ll have to contend with leveling, spending experience cubes of varying quality to boost characters you donвЂ™t play as often, collecting and setting ISO-8 crystals, spending ability orbs to power up special attacks, and working through a hexagonal grid that increases base stats for all characters. This gets to be a problem because there are so many systems in place that could easily be accomplished with a simple, straightforward leveling system. ThereвЂ™s a lot of downtime in the game thatвЂ™s reserved for making your characters stronger and more capable. The other side of the coin, one thatвЂ™s a little rough and hewn like Two-FaceвЂ™s silver dollar, is character micromanagement. The Black OrderвЂ™s story features a rapidly expanding list of heroes and picking up who to play with gets more and more difficult because each visit to the gameвЂ™s Team Select screen feels like going to a Costco-sized candy store and told you can only pick four things. The characters bring with them their classic weapons and abilities, like CapвЂ™s shield, Iron ManвЂ™s repulsors, and WolverineвЂ™s ability to heal, offering a lot of gameplay options and variations to try out. Marvel Ultimate Alliance has always been about superhero wish fulfillment and The Black Order is no different. From Ultron and the Sinister Six to Venom and Loki and everyone in between, the game is chock-full of familiar faces to do battle with, using popular heroes like Spider-Man, Captain America, Hulk, Deadpool, Psylocke, Wasp, and many, many, many more. The hunt for the Stones is the perfect crossover event as it brings a ton of people out of the woodwork. The shiny side is made up from the pure spectacle of seeing your favorite Marvel heroes come together to form dream teams and use them against an infamous rogueвЂ™s gallery. There are two sides to The Black OrderвЂ™s coin. Enlisting the aid of Nick Fury and the superhero agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., the worldвЂ™s mightiest heroes do battle against MarvelвЂ™s most infamous villains as they seek out their own desires the Stones can grant them. Peter Quill manages to snatch one of them during the scuffle and he and the rest of the Guardians are transported to Earth where the magical jewels scatter themselves. The ruse fails, as both parties are confronted by Proxima Midnight who battles them for possession of the Stones. As fate would have it, the Guardians of the Galaxy stumble upon a hidden Kree warship where Ronan the Accuser has managed to find and secure all of the Stones with the intention of keeping them away from The Black Order. Capitalizing on Avengers: End Game, which has now beat Avatar for the highest-grossing film ever made, the game introduces Thanos and his anti-Avengers, the titular Black Order, as they scour the galaxy to hunt down the six Infinity Stones. The Black Order once again gives power to the player to assemble their own team of superheroes to fight evil and save the day. Still, thereвЂ™s just enough content drawn from the comics that prevents the game from being Avengers: Infinity War: The Video Game, if thatвЂ™s of any concern. While previous MUA titles were built drawing upon the years of comics that span MarvelвЂ™s publishing history, The Black Order adopts a framework that feels closer in tune, both from a narrative and aesthetic angle, to the MCU. Case and point? Team NinjaвЂ™s Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order. Like it or not, the MCU changed the way how people consume popcorn pop-culture and its influence is likely to be felt for years - maybe even decades - to come. Through TV, films, cartoon shows, and video games, itвЂ™s easy to see that DisneyвЂ™s mere $4 billion investment in the company has paid off. Specifically, IвЂ™m talking about Marvel Studios, the production company responsible for the Marvel Cinematic Universe which is comprised of over twenty films that make up the theatrical retelling of the Infinity Gauntlet story. It goes without saying that the last ten years have been very good for Marvel.
