Thursdays may not spark the same excitement for me as
first-Tuesdays-of-the-month but it's hard not to feel joyful at an
opportunity to add yet-another game to the library. So, fill us with
joyfulness, Epic Games! Tell us what freebie we get today!

Conceptually, Marvel Comics meets X-COM, except without
the solid gameplay and a lot more monetizations. It's
not a terrible game but the randomization and RNG make
it a lot less fun than it could be, and it lacks the
earth-shattering combats you'd expect from watching
superhumans pummel one another (it's all very flashy, but
in the end your guys don't have much more effect on the
world than do XCOM troops, which feels very limited
and un-comicbooky. And, yeah, there's a lot of MTX. If
you just want some brief spectacle and bombast, it's fine,
but this isn't a game you want to spend a lot of time
with. Shame; it really looks like it could have been
a contender if more effort had been put into making it
a game and not a profit center.

Seven days, as usual. Also: Ha, Epic! You keep trying to make next
week's game a mystery, but Internet sleuths always out you ahead of
time! I wrote this post 24 hours early!
Well, I don't like fighting games anyway.
