Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League - Xbox EUROPE Digital Key
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League for PC is an action-adventure game
starring the ‘villains’ – but perhaps ‘anti-heroes’ is a better term for these
reluctant protagonists seeing as they do good albeit with little choice in the
matter! – of the DC universe and is the fifth instalment in the franchise,
following on from Batman: Arkham Knight. This is the first in the franchise to
not feature Batman as the main protagonist, but he does appear as a character.
ABOUT THE GAME
The game is set some five years after the events of the previous game. Amanda
Waller, head of A.R.G.U.S. selects a motley crew of inmates from Arkham Asylum,
implants explosive devices in their head and necks to ensure their absolute
obedience, and forms them into the Suicide Squad. The four, more about whom
below, set off to Metropolis to see what is going on.
When they get to the city, they find things are worse than had been conjectured:
supervillain Brainiac is well-entrenched in the city and already has many of the
superheroes of the Justice League under his nefarious control. Superman, Flash,
Green Lantern and even Batman are all essentially corrupted, and it is up to the
Squad to save the day, with the reluctant assistance of the seeming unaffected
Wonder Woman – who is displeased to have to work with criminals!
THE NITTY GRITTY
The game bends genres to produce an open world in the city of Metropolis. When
you are playing solo, the other characters in the Squad are controlled by AI –
but don’t worry about fearing that a different character looks like more fun
once the game gets underway. You can switch between characters with the click of
a button.
If you want to play with friends, you can play co-operatively with three friends
– obviously, in this mode, you will stay as your chosen character until the end
of the game.
Gizmo, the inventor, is always on hand to make sure you have everything you
need. This short, scruffy and unprepossessing, but brilliant, character makes
his first appearance here, and he will soon become a firm favourite as he equips
you to face whatever might come your way.
WHO IS THE SUICIDE SQUAD?
The four members of the Suicide Squad all have their own unique melee and ranged
weapons, and all travel across the city in different ways
Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, King Shark, and Harley Quinn will each have their
own unique melee and ranged weapons, as well as individual ways to traverse the
city. For example:
Harley Quinn: the only girl in the team, but certainly not to be dismissed for
all that, Harley’s up close and personal weapons of choice is her baseball bat
and bombs (instead of balls). She will also use her gymnastic prowess to parkour
through and around the city’s buildings, using light guns until it’s time to get
up close to her enemies. Explosively so, in some cases
Deadshot: Always the master of the long-distance shot, Deadshot has a portable,
backpack-sized glider that he can use to get into great sniping position.
Needless to say, he has a long-distance rifle that he is the master of!
King Shark: shark headed, man bodied (sort of), this guy is a born brawler but
he’s not shy about using a minigun on occasion. But it’s much more fun to let
him get to grips, literally, with his enemies, when he can set to work with his
powerful hands and exceedingly sharp teeth. As a bonus move, King Shark’s super
jump hits the ground with enough force to send enemies flying all about from the
shockwave
Captain Boomerang: As well as his titular weapons, this character doesn’t shy
away from using guns too. Not for Boomerang, Deadshot’s long distance
assassinations: he likes to get up close and personal with a pistol or a little
further away, with a shotgun for satisfying splatters… Boomerang can also
teleport a little, using the power of his boomerang. He can also tap into the
Speed Force when he wants to quickly burst across the environment
