For instance, when Stryfe is the mastermind, Master Strikes make him stronger by adding to his attack points. Each new mastermind has persistent attributes that impact the game throughout. There are other wrinkles added in Dark City to spice things up. While there are only a handful of cards that can take advantage of it, I expect Keywords to become an ongoing factor in future releases. I also like how they make sense within the context of the characters they’re mapped to. These mechanics seamlessly weave into the main game without over-complicating an already complex game. Certain enemies, such as the Maggia Thugs and Kingpin make use of the Bribe Keyword, as they can be defeated with any combination of attack points and recruit points. Many of Nightcrawler’s cards have the ability to Teleport, which lets you move it from your hand to the top of your deck if you want to bank it for your next turn. The three Keywords that appear in this set are Versatile, Teleport and Bribe.ĭomino makes heavy use of Versatile, as her cards can either act as attack points or recruit points each time you play them. Keywords appear in bold on specific cards that correspond to specific abilities. In particular, the Keyword mechanic – which is new as part of Dark City – opens things up quite a bit for cards that specifically have them. While we’re on the subject of characters with respect to gameplay, the new cards add many unique options that weren’t available in the previous game. Personally, I’m looking forward to adding Phoenix to my collection to go with Jean Grey. With this acting as a precedent, Upper Deck opens the door for existing characters to come back in very different ways. However, the X-Force version works completely differently in the game than his X-Men counterpart. The odd inclusion here is X-Force Wolverine, as X-Men Wolverine already exists in the game. This time, each hero gets four images doled out across their series of cards, which goes a long way to making each card feel unique. They also address my gripe about character art, as each hero in the main game only has one image associated with them. Personal tastes will vary, but I really like the mix of characters here. Heroes: Angel, Bishop, Colossus, Domino, Jean Grey, X-Force Wolverine, Punisher, Forge, Cable, Iron Fist, Ghost Rider, Night Crawler, Blade, Daredevil, Elektra, Iceman and Professor X Because the box doesn’t explicitly state who you get, I’ll run them down here. For me, this gives the game much more variety and lasting power. By purchasing Dark City to go with the main game, you double the number of heroes and masterminds at your disposal. The core game has a solid selection of Marvel’s most popular characters, though with 15 heroes and 5 masterminds, the number of character combinations felt a bit limited. There’s definitely a surface-level appeal to having more of a good thing, but do the cards in the expansion improve on the core experience?įor me, the big draw of playing Legendary is the ability to partake in an epic and action-packed battle of good versus evil with Marvel characters that I recognize. With 17 heroes, 5 masterminds, 8 new schemes and more, owning this would basically double the size of the experience.
