Step into a darker, more mystical corner of the Marvel Universe in Marvel's Midnight Suns, a modern tactical RPG from Firaxis Games, the acclaimed studio behind the XCOM franchise. Inspired by the classic Midnight Sons comics, this reimagined experience blends turn-based strategy, card-driven combat, and deep narrative role-playing, bringing together legendary heroes from the Avengers, X-Men, Runaways, and the supernatural side of Marvel. Characters such as Blade, Doctor Strange, Ghost Rider, and many more unite to face a looming occult apocalypse.
You play as The Hunter, an original Marvel hero and the last known warrior to have defeated Lilith, the Mother of Demons, centuries ago. Reawakened in the modern age by Doctor Strange and Nico Minoru, the Hunter must confront Lilith once again after her resurrection by HYDRA. With the demonic Lilim at her command and a plan to summon the ancient dark god Chthon to Earth, Lilith represents a threat unlike anything the world has faced before. The fate of humanity rests on your decisions, alliances, and combat prowess.
The Hunter is fully customizable, allowing you to define their gender, appearance, combat style, and abilities. Choose from over 40 powerful skills that align with Light, Dark, or balanced playstyles, shaping how the Hunter evolves throughout the story. Each mission allows you to deploy a squad of three heroes, combining their unique powers and playstyles to create devastating synergies on the battlefield.
Combat in Marvel's Midnight Suns offers a fresh strategic twist through its innovative card-based system. At the start of each encounter, you draw a randomized hand of ability cards tied to your selected heroes. These cards can target enemies, support allies, or interact with the environment, enabling tactical creativity and ensuring that no two battles play out the same. Master positioning, timing, and environmental hazards to outmaneuver demonic forces and emerge victorious.
Beyond combat, relationships play a central role in shaping your journey. Between missions, you return to the Abbey, a fully upgradable and explorable home base that serves as the heart of your team. Here, you can deepen bonds with your fellow heroes through social activities such as training with Ghost Rider, practicing yoga with Magik, sparring with Captain Marvel, or engaging in thoughtful conversations with Tony Stark. Dialogue choices and shared experiences influence friendships, unlock passive bonuses, and grant powerful new abilities that directly impact combat effectiveness.
As the lines between heroism, darkness, and sacrifice blur, every decision you make carries weight. Will your team be strong enough to stop Lilith and her demonic army, or will you ultimately face the god she serves? Shape alliances, master tactical combat, and determine the fate of the world in Marvel's Midnight Suns, a bold and modern evolution of the superhero RPG.
