The Epic Games Store is once again giving away a very good game. This time it is Marvel’s Midnight Sunsone of best games of 2022 and one of my favorite superhero adventures.

Marvel’s Midnight Sunsin case you missed it, is a turn-based tactical RPG that combines some light life simulation-like elements – like romance and dating – with fantastic tactical combat on par with XCOM And Fire signs. But unlike these games, Midnight Suns you can kick cars against classic Marvel villains like Venom and Sabretooth. And right now You can kick cars for free in Venom via the Epic Games Store.

Wonder

But don’t get me wrong. Midnight Suns is more than just fun gameplay and cool fights. The game also features a compelling narrative that plays out differently than anything you see in the MCU or most other superhero games. I mean, how many superhero movies or games let you spend time with Blade in a book club?

And don’t be put off by the card-based action, because the game isn’t a deck builder or anything like that. It just uses cards to represent powers and moves that you can use each turn. Game master Jake Solomon, however, lamented the use of cards and said this might have been the reason why the Game did not sell as well as expected.

“I think the cards were a big problem,” Salomon told VGC“I think it was a good design solution, but I guess I was naive about what people would think when they saw that the mechanic was cards. Not everyone on my team was behind the idea, but they trusted me.”

Marvel’s Midnight Suns is a fantastic game and is currently available for download for free until June 13th via the Epic Games Store on PC. In case you haven’t noticed, what I’m saying is that you should play it. Even if you don’t like the MCU or superhero stuff! But first turn off the 2K Launcher. It sucks.
