The core gameplay mostly involves wandering through cramped hallways, beating the heck out of mobs of bad guys, before moving on to a trickier boss battle. What the story does do, though, is provide an excuse to bring all of these characters together. It’s more Saturday morning cartoon than cinematic blockbuster. One of the key plot points involves a teleporting dog. It’s a mostly nonsense tale involving Thanos (again!) teaming up with villains from around the Marvel universe to collect the Infinity Stones. well, don’t play The Black Order for the story. It starts out with the Guardians of the Galaxy, but it’s not long before the X-Men, Avengers, and various spider-people join your team.
It still plays out from a mostly isometric perspective, and gives you a huge roster of Marvel stars to choose from. The Black Order doesn’t change the formula. That makes it a perfect game for the Nintendo Switch, and it’s notably an exclusive to Nintendo’s console while the prior two were released on almost every platform imaginable. And you’ll continually unlock new heroes, so much of the strategy comes from how you build your team. The twist is that it’s built for team-play you form a squad of four heroes and can play either solo or co-operatively. Essentially, the franchise is a Diablo-style action role-playing game, only instead of fighting demonic hordes you’re battling the minions of Ultron and Doc Ock. It’s been 10 years since the last Marvel Ultimate Alliance (and even longer since its predecessor, X-Men Legends), so a refresher was definitely in order.
Instead, it offers something much simpler: the chance to create the superhero team of your dreams and enjoy some deliciously mindless action. It doesn’t have a huge, emotional storyline that impacts various facets of the massive Marvel universe, one that expands on years of worldbuilding. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order isn’t the latest superhero blockbuster.
