Different sections move through different parts of the Marvel universe. I've already fought the Green Goblin, Sandman, Kingpin and Ultron. Even after the Avengers movies, seeing the sheer onslaught of enemies and heroes in this game is wild. So far, what I've loved is the insane mash-up of it all. Playing co-op on a 60-inch TV with my son was still a bit challenging at times: there are so many things going on, and characters can be hard to make out. This isn't even nearly as crowded as some battles get. But the four-player co-op mode will allow online players to hop in and join the story, which seems like it would be fun. I played prerelease, so I didn't get to play online.
Lots of characters, including Jessica Jones and Elektra, make cameos along the way. These aren't the "Marvel movie" versions, but they often come close. It's pretty linear and arcadelike in that regard, but every character can level up and add enhanced powers like an RPG.Īlong the way, there are cartoonish cut-scenes and plenty of voice acting, which ranges from solid to bland. Tons of characters attack in waves, you fight them, and then there's another place where more bad guys attack. Marvel, The Wasp and Daredevil.Ĭharacters can end up being tiny on a small Switch screen TV docking is a good option. The last I checked, I was playing with Venom, Ms. Once new characters are added, they can be swapped in for different team combinations. At any time, you can swap among the four characters playing. The four-player game is a semi-overhead-style game, sort of like Diablo 3. But Thanos and a hunt for the Infinity Stones is still the main story thread (as if I really needed a story thread). Any plot developments in the Avengers movies (no spoilers!) don't carry over here. Marvel, Iron Man, Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen, Thor, Wolverine, Luke Cage, Star-Lord, Groot, Gamora and more. I've been playing a bunch of hours on my own and with my kid, and we've already unlocked The Wasp, Daredevil, Venom, Spider-Man, Ms. Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order doesn't have the same story as the Marvel movies, but its alternative/parallel plot ends up sucking in a crazy number of characters.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, coming after Avengers: Endgame, now feels like a spinoff movie in video game form.Īnd yet, what's weird is this is a completely different story. Ten years ago, before most of these Marvel films existed, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 was basically a multicharacter, co-op Marvel brawl-adventure.
I never followed Marvel universe until the cinematic cycle sucked me in. The Wasp, one of many, many characters in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3.
