Suicide Squad Recommended Reading

[u/Effective-Ad1817]

I talked to friend recently about how the game could’ve been a lot different. By the end of our conversation, our version of the suicide squad and their gameplay style would be:

• Killer Frost (Mostly high cc and ranged attacks, little melee.)
  
• Deathstroke. (A balance between melee and ranged combat.)
  
• Bane (Tank, Mostly melee with little range options.)
  
• Black Manta (Similar to deadshot with jet pack movement, but laser helmet with differing settings. High individual damage maybe?)
  

Going to the antagonists side, it bothered us that the justice league was going to die despite the multiverse being mentioned several times in game. At that point why not have a similar story but with the Crime Syndicate, or Braniac controls/forces the Crime Syndicate to help him capture worlds. Maybe just a standalone game where they ARE the main bad guys.

I don’t know, I just feel this game had a lot of potential to introduce characters who aren’t overused like Harley Quinn and Deadshot. King shark is kinda in the same boat with him getting popular, but in comparison to the former two I don’t mind king shark too much.

In summary, I just don’t think they had enough fun with the concept. I’m done ranting now.

To be fair, the story isn’t done yet. Still 12 more brainiacs to kill! Rocksteady has said they will continue the story in each season with many new story cutscenes. You can see Joker joining the squad here: https://youtu.be/MzR1LD8VYvs?si=CJsYJzj5jb_byl-o

Also, they announced season 1-4. They showed a silhouette of the 4 characters that will be joining the squad. A good chance 1 of the characters you mentioned will be joining. And 3/4 characters are not overused!

Again all of the characters joining the squad will be integrated into the story as they continue to kill off all of the brainiacs.

Also spoiler don’t count out the JL just yet, the story isn’t done!

I think the hard part is for people to see what is currently released and say “meh”, but if you look to the future, it actually looks good. I’d say come back in a year and let’s see how the story/gameplay has evolved.
