The first DLC character Midnight Suns Deadpool is almost ready, much to the chagrin of everyone within a two-mile radius of the superhero team. There are a lot of big personalities in Firaxis' Marvel strategy game. There are demigods, and quick-tempered geniuses, and unsuccessful scientific experiments, and a cute demonic dog. However, the Suns line-up has always had one big, gaping chimichanga-shaped hole, and The Good, The Bad, and The Undead will give you the opportunity to enjoy wise self-referential humor whether you like it or not.
Deadpool. A mercenary with a mouth, a constant pain in everyone's ass. If you don't know who this masked mercenary is, he kills people for money and talks a lot while doing it. Wearing an amazing tight red jumpsuit, two pistols, two katanas and as many grenades as his body can hold, Deadpool is an agent of chaos. But how will he fit into the team of well-wishers you have already assembled?
Jake Solomon, creative director at Firaxis, recently revealed that Deadpool was originally planned to appear in the main Midnight Suns campaign, but due to the fact that he "kind of sucks the air out of the room" every time he appears, it was decided it would be best to a separate story mode, and this is quite logical. The character is bossy, talks constantly, and no one but you can stand him.
After you defeat Venom in Story Mode, you will be able to select Deadpool's mission on the mirror table. His meeting with Hunter is more of an accident, a heist gone wrong, and begins a three-mission journey filled with vampires, rainbows and, in the man's own words, the most attractive and charismatic person on the planet.
Serving as the first episode of the Saturday morning cartoon, The Good, The Bad, and The Undead introduces a new antagonist in Sin, the daughter of the Red Skull, and her attempt to bring undead-style destruction to the planet. Deadpool, along with his new best friend Blade, is trying to repel the threat and find out who is behind the infection.
If you're wondering how Deadpool plays, he's a DPS through and through. His new trait, "en fuego", gives him stacks based on enemies he kills without taking damage himself. Something here hints at a weak ego, but who are we to judge? Building up the en fuego passive increases the effectiveness of your cards - attack damage, area of effect, and even resistance stacks can be applied to keep you on fire.
It's an interesting play style and you'll definitely want to bring a tank with you to keep Deadpool out of the line of fire. In missions with a large number of units and indestructible enemies, you will have to keep your head when juggling aggro enemies.
With Deadpool's arrival at the Abbey, there were several improvements that only he could consider important. The forge is filled with the technology of the future Iron Man, Blade carefully designs the training area, and, as expected, Deadpool wants a van. The car is an eyesore that only a mother would love, but it gives you the option in battle to discard a card from your hand to gain an extra turn that turn.
The Good, The Bad, and The Undead is a relatively short piece of additional content, but it does a great job of setting the stage for the other Midnight Suns Deadpool DLC characters, and after 40 hours spent with the original cast, it's a breath of fresh air to have someone join the team. then again - even if he doesn't stop talking about unicorns.
