![]() They are relatively minor bonuses, but they add up quickly and can take some of the sting out of slowly leveling up older characters. A Final Fantasy X-style Sphere Grid, the Alliance bonus gives extra stats to every character on your team. The final boost you can make to the entire team is the Alliance bonus. ![]() The more members of a specific team are in your party, the greater the bonus, usually maxing out at a 5% boost to specific stats. There are also thematic teams, such as "Women of Marvel" and "Generations," which is for heroes who have passed their legacy on to another. The only downside is that Synergy attacks drain energy from both characters, which can leave careless players without the ability to even execute regular attacks.Īnother neat, but relatively minor, feature is that every character is part of certain "teams." For example, anyone who is a regular Avenger gets an Avengers team bonus, as do X-Men, Defenders, and so on. It can excel at breaking stagger bars, clearing areas, just dealing damage. Generally, any possible combination of heroes is going to have at least some synergy with other heroes it's just a question of how much and how versatile that synergy is. Synergy helps every team feel distinct without shoehorning players into specific teams. ![]() In single-player mode, you have a dedicated button to order allies to synergize with your attacks, so this isn't just for multiplayer. Rapid Fire and Area Assault cause projectiles to be spread across the screen. The attacks have their own attributes (e.g., Slam is good for clearing an area), but if two characters use attacks with complementary elements near each other, they'll perform a Synergy attack that amplifies the power. Every attack has different elements, such as Beam, Burn, Rapid-Fire, Slam and so on. One of the cooler parts of team-building in MUA3 is Synergy attacks. Miles has electric-focused attacks, and Gwen has a lot of mobility and area-hitting moves, while Peter has the default move set. Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen and Spider-Man all have identical power sets on paper, but they have enough distinct abilities to set them apart. There are obvious similarities between some of the characters, but they do a good job of differing them. Basically, if the character has had a movie or television show, he or she is probably in this game. This includes all the expected Avengers, from Iron Man to the Hulk, a number of popular X-Men (including my favorite Nightcrawler), and even multiple Spider-folk including Gwen, Miles, Peter and Venom. A tremendous number of characters are in the game by default, with more coming as DLC. The game really shines in the variety of playable characters. It's fairly standard gameplay for a beat-'em-up, and there are appealing gameplay loops of beating up foes and getting stronger. They also have an extreme attack that can be used once their EX bar fills up. ![]() Each character has a light attack, a strong attack, and four special moves powered by an energy bar. In MUA3, you create a team of four different characters, either for co-op or with AI characters. All of the Marvel heroes, from the Avengers to the X-Men to Elsa Bloodstone, must team up, beat the bad guys, and return peace to the world. Interference from the Guardians of the Galaxy means that they end up scattered across the Earth, with supervillains aplenty getting their hands on them. Thanos is after the Infinity Stones and has sent the Black Order (those guys from "Infinity War") after them. The story of MUA3 is depressingly predictable. ![]()
