I should say this is a preview not a review so I will not be using the review bar things. Also if you are reading this after release of Marvel Heroes then there might be some discrepancies as this is a pre-release version of the MMORPG.
When I started the BETA a character screen came up asking me who I would like to play, I chose Thor because he is a god and nothing beats a god.
This is a quote from the website which is them explaining the story “About the Author: The story of Marvel Heroes is crafted by comic book super scribe Brian Michael Bendis (Ultimate Spider-Man, New Avengers, House of M, Secret Invasion, Avengers vs X-Men and many more). The Cosmic Cube is a device of untold power capable of changing the very fabric of reality at the whim of its possessor. The brilliant but malevolent Dr. Doom has the Cube, and with it he aims to reshape the world in his own image. Determined to succeed where the Cube’s previous wielders have failed, Doom has lined up villainous allies to prevent the super-heroes from interfering. Can you unravel Doctor Doom’s sinister plan and stop him before it is too late?” I think this sums up the story quite well so make your own decision from that.
The combat is a dungeon crawler at the base of it similar to games like Diablo and Torchlight. You walk up to an enemy click it until it dies grab the loot then move on to the next enemy. I am not a fan of this system and I think it is rather dull and unresponsive but I think this is a good dungeon crawler if you like dungeon crawlers.
The aesthetics of this game is brilliantly with comic book characters being lovingly recreated. It gives a feeling in being in a superhero movie while pewing around the scenery. All the characters look great, so does the scenery, weapons and the particle powers.
Thanks for reading.
