Marvel ’s Midnight Sunscame out at the buns end of 2022 and , unlike other Marvel games , have an original character and a new adventure not adapted from any late narrative ( although it featured many references and grabbed idea from the larger cartoon strip universe ) . Players took on the role of the Hunter , a customizable Hero of Alexandria who has to team up withheroes from across the Marvelverse , like Magik , Blade , Doctor Strange , and Iron Man . It features turn - ground combat during missionary post , with the units participant master being superheroes .

Two thing set it apart from other turn - based RPGs . The first was its card - based scrap organisation , where players would pick out from a deck of move to make their way through levels . The 2nd was its piece of writing , which was filled with excellent humor and gave its grapheme a ton of humans to connect with . player could also curry up these sometimes - serious character in absurd but very on - brand outfits .

While it buzz off undecomposed reviews from critic , it was n’t a hit with players . Many were put off by the prowess vogue , which did n’t depend up to the standards of other innovative release at the meter , and the card system of rules . Former Firaxis creative director Jake Solomon tell Digital Trendsthat the carte system and stigma of it being “ Marvel XCOM ” were to fault for its pitiable sales .

“ The truth is , Midnight Sunsis a really interesting biz , and I ’m very gallant of it from a critical standpoint , ” Solomon said . “ It was very personal for me , but it was one of those things where if I were to calculate and postulate why it underachieve , I would simply say card . I think cards were a big part of it . We design a carte system , and it was awesome , mould really well , and was super fun . But I do n’t think I amply appreciated the way that count . There was a sizable portion of players who were like , ‘ I ’m not run card game ’ or ‘ I ’m not doing that . ’ ”
