I am REALLY hoping that they simply keep expanding on this game. I heard that the sales weren't great but it's been mentioned that there is a chance that the game will still have solid long-term sales, even if initial sales were disapointing. Considering how much support Firaxis games (XCOM, CIV) have had in the past from the mod community and the developer themselves in the form of really good DLC and quality of life mods from the steam workshop I'm just hoping that the same is going to happen for Midnight Suns. I desperately want this game to be successful in the short but also long run. Sure, give me a Sequel in like 4-6 years but please add to THIS game. It needs transformative Expansions that do to Midnight Suns what War of the Chosen did to XCOM and the major Expansions did for CIV. So not just a couple of Hero DLCs but something that alters the game in a fundamental way. So more heroes, sure, but more importantly a revamped/new campaign with more mission variety and less "upkeep" between battles (but similar upgrade loop). At the same time, give modders the tools to create mods for this to allow this game to rank among the likes of Skyrim, Cities Skylines etc. in terms of modability and longevity. If Firaxis manages to do that, then when they ever a sequel to this game years down the road, people will lose their minds just like they did when XCOM2 was announced.

I haven't played this game, but X-Com: Enemy Unknown was revolutionary even without all the things you've mentioned. It's probably because of the legacy behind that X-Com brand name, but I think the newer games delivered on the modern take on old x-coms. This essentially is a new IP. Like you say it needs more hype and Dev support, but it's gonna be hard to get the same level of hype for this games' sequel compared to an X-Com or Civ game.

No special missions. there are some missions which require one hero to be there but no specific mechanics are associated. And there are "challenges" where you'll have to have a hero perform some actions during a mission (activating their special power x times, etc...) But both are lackluster, clearly they should have designed some story missions (at least one per hero) balanced aroun their specific game mechanic.

Jake Solomon the game director for this game did an interview with Waypoint where he talked through the design decision to add cards. If you are interested I recommend you listen to the full podcast of the interview (waypoint radio podcast) but it essentially boils down to, one of the things they they is crucial to replayable "combat puzzles" (his phrase not mine) is randomness. Randomness adds that extra wrinkle to combat/strategy where your best laid plans might not workout in xcom because a high percentage shot misses so how do you adapt. In midnight suns you have a full suite of abilities via cards that will 100% hit and work as intended but the randomness comes in that through the card system where you might not get the 1 card in your deck to make your strategy work due to a bad shuffle and now you have to adapt. He also talked about how their first playable demo was basically xcom reskined as marvel and it felt terrible because it didn't live up to the super hero fantasy not only because of abilities missing but you had no-name grunt enemies doing serious damage and killing super heroes and the super hero fantasy isn't watching iron man or captain America get destroyed by a random soldier. But check out the podcast interview for a better explanation.

This game has so much potential but there are so many things that drag it down. I hate the 15 different currency, I hate having to talk to characters every day just to get them stronger, I hate roaming around the grounds opening chests just to get palette swaps of some boring ass clothes, I hate that to get regular quality of life features I hate to wait to research them, and I hate that all that time was spent on this superfluous shit that worked against the game instead of mission, enemy, and card variety. Such a shame. I also skipped every piece of dialog and cutscene. I also feel like that custom character could have been cut and nothing would have been lost. Also some of the characters are just unbearable. The Midnight Suns talking shit about the fucking Avengers was just ridiculous. "Who are they anyway? They'll just get in our way." They have saved the universe a thousand times over. What the fuck are you on about.

I played this over the weekend while it was free - the combat was interesting. Definitely an interesting variation on the XCOM idea and I really dug playing as Marvel superheroes. I didn't play that long though so I'm curious - just how bad is the dialogue/story elements in the Abbey? I find myself often skipping overly long dialogue - Horizon Forbidden West got bad about this at times, the only strike against what is otherwise a fantastic game. Same with Assassin's Creed Odyssey which I'm playing now - it's just blah blah blah blah blah and I'm twiddling my thumbs waiting to get back to the action. It does surprise me because TLOUP1 and TLOUP2 are two of my favorite games of all time but the story elements there don't seem that boring or overly long.

The game was fun, enjoyable, and addicting. You can also play Deadpool legally w/o the drama etc. At first, I hesitated to play this because of the negative reviews, but when I played it, I got hooked. Although, I feel like the tutorial is too long, nevertheless, I found the characters like Magik, robbie, nico, caretaker, lilith interesting and refreshing since there's just too much "avengers" going on like games, movies, merch, etc you know what I mean. For a strategy game it was better than "tactical rpg squares" and you can also take advantage of stuff from the environment/stage, however, I wish I could take atleast 4 heroes. The daily activity reminds me of Persona but with less pressure since you can do whatever before sleeping. You can also take your time preparing/side missions before you go to story missions. 100 hours doesn't look impossible.

As a marvel and xcom fan I have to agree that the non combat part is tedious. In the beginning, there is too much to do every time you get out of combat. At some point you automatically go through a list of activities. I was way ahead on some abbey storylines and I kept postponing main missions to improve everything. What i do notice is that it is difficult to stop the game. Get out of combat and you have all these activities to check off. Then the next morning you put everyone to work and get new abilities, and then you can pick a new mission and once that starts, you really want to play just one more turn....

@Fextralife In the intial preview you said it was 80% story and 20% combat did that change after playing through the entire game? The combat looks great the story looks blah (Im not a marvel fan, but liked the idea of playing B characters and then they had to add the avengers.... why ...just why?)

Yea at least with xcom it constantly puts you into the action. All the dialogue and story makes this seem not as repayable definitely a wait for a sale game. No iron man mode literally seems like an xcom downgrade. Campaign is just a a story mode instead of a campaign

Because from a writers perspective, most of the dialogue is about as mundane, generic, and uninteresting. I'm glad folks like it, but after playing other games with BEAUTIFUL writing this is a huge letdown. If this is all that's expected from the Comics fanbase I'm not sure what else to say.

@@FullMetalB I liked three houses. I spent around 60 hours on it, for the single and only run I played on it. (And it was the shortest: against the church) Guess why I didn't do any more runs even if liked it? Because at least half of those 60 hours have been spent running around inside the monastery talking to people building affinity, doing small errands and micro managing. And it's booooring. I know I could essentially skip all that part but that way I would have lost half the game and basically all the lore and characters background. Also, the timeskip arrives around halfway those 60 hours which means I should have played those initial 30 hours doing the exact same things 3 other times to be able to get the game's full story. Terrible. Awakening and the other Fire Emblems on the 3DS didn't have all that time consuming nonsense and I frankly found them so much better than Three Houses. 🤷🏻♂️

I would love this game if there was a mode you could just instant play random AI encounters, as it is right now though, I'm like 2 hours into the game and it's sooo sluggish. I'm someone who doesn't care about story and skips cutscenes and I still find myself wasting 5-20 mins between battles skipping cutscenes and running around talking to people. I'm still a little baffled as to why they would put so much into this game and not put in an arcade mode where you can just do your own custom matches or perhaps even do a vs 2nd player or online mode. It definitely feels like a game where funding got cut short half way through development.

this game owns so hard. it's such a great foundation for what could eventually be a 10/10 all-timer strategy game that's also fun for casual players. alas a confluence of circumstances led to its being a total failure commercially but i'm glad that it's basically now become something of a cult classic at least. i hope if 2k has made firaxis bail on it entirely that someone else takes the inspiration and applies it to maybe a less high-budget title. i'm not even a marvel fan though and i thought the license was used exquisitely, both in and out of combat. so many (gasp!) moments.
