Pros:
* It is what I was told it was: X-Com with superheroes. It lacks a lot of the depth of x-com, but it hits that core strategic gameplay style.
* It's challenging enough that you won't just walk through it and the enemy AI makes decent strategic decisions at all levels.
* There are a decent variety of battle maps with elements which keep them from feeling too similar

Cons
* The writing is just straight up bad. I want to say that more kindly but it's just really not good. The heroes are basically devoid of personality and the villains are horrible and obvious. The dialog is... bad. Just really bad.
* As I mentioned, the gameplay itself is kinda thin. Hero development is slow and frustrating with absolutely zero customization. Also, there's no outside game activities other than leveling up your heroes along their upgrade rails, so when the combat is as mediocre as it ends up being, the game has nothing to fall back on.
* Visuals are unimpressive and occasionally irritating. The character art makes me think of what someone who doesn't read comics thinks comic books look like. Also the weird 'bounce' motion the characters make during conversations is incredibly annoying, especially when one relies on subtitles and the tail of the text bubble moves in a distracting and irritating fashion.

Listen, I want to like this game, but it's just not good. Get any x-com game or go play final fantasy tactics: the war of the lions.

I am over 12 hours into this game and so far I have enjoyed it a ton. There are some things thatI feel could've used more love and care. These are that I find the writing and Voice acting kind of stiff. After Mecurial, I find alot of the heroes you recruit to be kind of meh. Lastly is that I wish I had a way to play back a bad move instead of loading an earlier save.

Those are what I have trouble liking. But aside from those semantics, I really like the story so far. I enjoy any moment the characters have heart to heart talks. Wish there were more however. The world building is gritty but grounded in the concept of the game.

I enjoy the time I have spent so far tackling each mission in new ways. I have not seen anymaps get reused so points for keeping it fresh. It takes something I am poor at, puzzles and tactics, then puts them into a context I like. Super heroes and combat. I think it does this very well.

My favorite is that the world and the characters are their own. While I love superheroes and comics they can get stale when you have seen them over and over. Midnight Suns was a great deal of fun! But I am also so, so tired of Marvel. It is incredibly fresh and encouraging to see a new take on the classic archetypes of the genre.

I appreciate this most of the team from Spitfire I think. They took time to write some unique characters and give them specific strengths and weaknesses that feel impactful. I am, and never have been, big on the idea a character should be able to handle any challenge on their own. Especially in a squad or team context.

Overall I find the game very fun and original in its world building and lore. I wish it were more robust but they did well for their first title. The gameplay is engaging and challenging for the diffculty of the same name. I wish progression were more impactful such as maybe letting your squishier characters get a bit tougher.

If you're like me and enjoy a challenge as well as original superhero genre ideas then this game is fantastic. I may wait for a sale but thats only because I have not finished the game. If I can get 40 hours of gameplay out of this it would be more than worth the price.

This is Spitfire Interactive first game and it is amazing. I just reached Act II and it feels like I've been playing a game right from the comic pages. I don't see the shade this game is getting, its 10 times better than a lot of the incomplete stuff that has been coming out. If you want a solid turn-based experience toppled with the love of super heroes/comics; this is the game to get.
