Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League Description
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League combines the features of action adventure game and TPP shooter in an open world and focuses on online co-op mode. The game was developed by the experienced Rocksteady studio, authors of the Batman: Arkham series. The game is based on the comics in the DC Comics universe.
Plot
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League is set in the same universe as the Batman: Arkham series, as part of the Arkhamverse. The game continues the storyline of previous Rocksteady Studios games. However, the game takes the players not to the dark Gotham, but to the New York-based Metropolis, a rich city inhabited by Superman.
The main characters are Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang and King Shark. Deadly explosives have been implanted in their heads and they have been forced to join the infamous Task Force X, also known as the Suicide Squad, commanded by Amanda Waller. They must set out on an extremely difficult mission to save the Earth and kill the greatest superheroes from the Justice League. In the plot, which is driven by characters, an important role is played by the evil Superman, who ended up on the target of the Suicide Legion.
Gameplay
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League is a mix of a classic Rocksteady studio action-packed adventure game and co-op shooter, so we spend a lot of time exploring the open world, bringing chaos to Metropolis, and eliminating enemies.
In the game we take on the role of one of the four playable characters: Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang and King Shark. Each of them has a different set of special skills, gadgets and weapons, a fighting style and the way they move around the city. Captain Boomerang, for example, can teleport itself over short distances and Deadshot uses a jet pack not only to fly but also to set its enemies on fire.
In Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League, there is a character development system available, so as the game progresses we can improve our skills and equipment to get rid of enemies with even greater ease, including the powerful members of the Justice League.
Co-op
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League allows you to play solo or in cooperation for up to four people. In single player mode, artificial intelligence takes control of the other characters, although it is possible to switch freely between them.
Technical aspects
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League was developed exclusively for PCs and PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles, which guaranteed high quality graphics. The atmosphere of the game is lighter than in previous games of Rocksteady Studios, and there is plenty of (often black) humour. The tone has been maintained in the style of cartoons and movies about the Suicide Squad, and the vast and incredibly detailed city of Metropolis, as opposed to the dark Gotham, is saturated with colours.

Hogwarts Legacy Needs New Seasons and Activities More Than Suicide Squad Does
Hogwarts Legacy is not a bad game, and one you'd want to come back to - if it had new content. Suicide Squad will have new content, but one doesn't necessarily want to check what kind. Could it be that the publisher, common to both productions, got the genre selection wrong?
