![]() ![]() There’s a pretence of depth in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 but while it’s entirely unconvincing it doesn’t feel disingenuous. ![]() There are also a number of customisation options, including collectible crystals that give you minor buffs and debuffs, an unlockable web of similar enhancements that apply across all characters, and bonuses depending on the make-up of your team and whether they’re similar in some way or have a shared history. The role-playing element is also incredibly simplistic and revolves around levelling up and unlocking new abilities, which in turn can be upgraded with collected items. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 (NS) – just mash the buttons and you’ll be all right Some of these are what you’d expect, such as Iron Man’s unibeam or Spider-Man’s webbing, while others are generic abilities like a tornado attack for Star-Lord, which, as far as we know, isn’t something he’s known for. You also gradually unlock a number of special moves which run on a recharging power meter. But everyone gets an ‘Extreme’ attack that takes ages to power up and various synergy moves depending on who the other characters are – although the window to activate these is frustratingly small for even experienced players. Basic combat amounts to nothing but a choice of light or heavy attack, or a jump attack if you’re feeling daring, and there are no combos as such. Whether you’re playing with friends or not there are always at least four superheroes on-screen at once, but no matter which character you play as the controls work in the same way. There are around 30 playable characters in total (including a number of X-Men but no-one from the Fantastic Four – although they are part of planned DLC) but many more than that once you start to count non-playable cameos that range from Mysterio to Jessica Jones. That said, this isn’t really a direct sequel in the sense of a continuing narrative and while the plot nominally revolves around preventing Thanos and his lackeys (the Black Order of the subtitle) from obtaining the Infinity Stones the story is really just about jamming as many hero and villain cameos in as possible. ![]()
