Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

This game has been out for about a year and a half as of me writing this review. That being said I was going no to play the game when it first launched but decided to give it some time. This was mostly because I wanted to see the reviews and what other people thought of the game. Once I saw that the game had flopped and that it did not live up to what I hoped it had I decided not to get it. That is until I saw that it was only 10 dollars for my console and I decided to give it a shot. I booted up the game and got to the tutorial which was honestly a very poorly designed way to teach players how to play the game. But once I slogged through it and I actually got into the game I found myself enjoying the experience. Traversal is extremely fun and more than once I found myself switching to the different characters just to enjoy their unique style of traversal. This was the same for the gun play. The animations were smooth and I was actually decently impressed. Not only had the game impressed me but it actually had me wanting to come back to it. Yes the missions were repetitive but I was having fun. That doesn't mean that there wasn't problems though. Honestly the story had me hooked at the beginning the first boss battle was fun and there was actually a couple really good heart felt moments. This however was just in the beginning. Most of the game (besides some stellar moments) is the Suicide Squad being idiots with no real connection being made between the player and the character we are playing as. If they had replaced a couple joke lines of dialogue with some real heartfelt and impactful content then I would have been routing for the ragtag team of villains more than I found myself doing. Honestly I found myself routing for the hero's we were fighting more than anything. I actually really like the premise of the game. Flipping the villains and hero's roles is actually really interesting. However I never felt like the villains truly lived up to being the hero's even after they had saved the world. It just felt off like they had a good premise but not good execution. Over all I don't think that the game was actually a total disaster the gameplay is fun but the story is half baked. They had all the right pieces they just couldn't execute it right. I'm glad that I didn't spend full price but if you are wanting to buy the game I would go for it. It's honestly really fun to just mess around in if you don't take the story to seriously.

Rocksteady and WB Games have sunk to a new low. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is the worst game of the year. Not just because it's a live service game or that the gameplay is buggy. It disrespects Kevin Conroy's legacy and his role as Batman. And extremely bad sendoff to an actor who has voiced the character for 30+ years. And the rest of the Justice League, they hired the right actors to voice the right characters in the wrong game. They should be using DCAU actors. Brainiac's design was also pure stupidity. The story is what really adds insult to injury. To love, enjoy and defend this game is to have a death wish.

9 years for a 9 hour game?

Really wish i knew what they were doing with all their time.

The writing and story is mediocre at best and disrespectful to source material at worst.

The combat is good, the movement needs tweaking, but otherwise it's a fun arcade-y third person looter shooter.

Gameplay loop is repetitive and tedious. Go here, escort/kill/protect/destroy, cutscene, repeat - sometimes they throw in modifiers like "grenades only" or "crit damage only)

The graphics are good, the music is good, the performances are really good despite the bad writing given to them.

Another money grab live service game, not worth the 70-100+usd price tag. You can buy better looter shooters for half the price.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League by Rocksteady is a travesty, a pitiful excuse for a game. They didn't just fail Batman; they mercilessly butchered the Dark Knight's legacy. The storytelling is an incoherent mess, and the way they handled Batman's demise is an insult to every fan who invested in this franchise. Rocksteady managed to strip away the essence of what made Batman great and turned it into a mockery. Spare yourself the agony and don't waste a dime on this pathetic excuse for a game. Batman deserved better, and so do you.

DONT BUY THIS GAME AND WASTE YOUR MONEY

THIS GAME IS DISAPPOINTING GAMEPLAY , STORY IS WORST.

I've had an IMDb account for over 6 years and have never left a review, and having just beaten this game, I felt like this would be fitting.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a mediocre game, it's not as bad as some are suggesting, the characters control well, the gunplay is better than I expected and there are some genuinely fun moments to be had here, but as a package, when you compare this to Rocksteady's previous Arkham trilogy, it leaves a lot to be desired.

The story is serviceable, though it should not have taken place in the 'Arkhamverse', as from a continuity standpoint it does not flow well from the Arkham games, and one could make a compelling case that the events of this game diminish and de-value the events of the previous Arkham games.

The biggest issue this game faces though is the gameplay, missions are extremely repetitive and some of the side-missions impose certain modifiers like grenade only kills or having to shield harvest enemies, these are extremely annoying and are sometimes insta-fail, as the game won't spawn enemies you can shield harvest or drop grenades - it feels like minimal, if any playtesting was done here.

I would not recommend paying full price here, I could only ever recommend you consider this game when on-sale or if a steep discount is available, and being that this game is an always online, games as a service, the servers could be shut down at any moment, should WB games deem it to be economically unviable to continue supporting this game.

The developer (Rocksteady) has outlined post-launch content and promised at some point in 2024, there will be an offline mode, but these are just promises, and as we've seen with live-service games before, if the player base falls and the game isn't selling well, even this might not come to fruition.
