Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

Seriously? This might be the worst game I have ever played in my whole life. Like its rots your brain and destroys your self esteem as gamer. Holy Smokes!

Bought this for dirt cheap, and well the least I can do is give it a proper review so here we go:

Pros:
-Traversal
-killing enemies feel satisfying
-King Shark
-Early on is fun with friends

Cons:
-Modes and combat get repetitive very fast very early
-a victim of bad writing
-they don't know their source materials, its all just surface level info
-the justice league being brainwashed by brainiac, and having brainiacs resources and army got nerfed so bad (Especially Batman)
-Metropolis doesn't seem like a city thats at war/ under siege, feels too peaceful
-bugs and glitches (I got floating gun as deadshot until we beat green lantern)
-No patches

Conclusion:
Could've been a great game, i will not reccomend this to anyone playing this game alone, i reccomend you to play this game with friends, a lot of wasted potential, and so many plot armor for the suicide squad, and very cringey dialogue like Hack saying: "I AM THE LINE" or waller saying "Waller out" at the end of the story, imo it should have been free

gameplay is fun for a sandbox third person action shooter. world detail and overall graphics are really nice. way better than I expected considering all the negative reviews. haven't tried the online coop yet, but with almost 10 hours in I haven't encountered any issues like the game crashing or weird bugs.

Firstly, I bought it for 3 dol. I can't believe this crap cost like 100+ millions, let alone 200. The art direction makes me wanna puke. Everything is a toxic colored mess. The characters don't shut up for a second. Clearly, the lead designers thought if we were left alone for a minute we would lose engagement or fall asleep. Harley Quinn and Boomerang are insufferable. If they paid SBI or someone else for such low quality writing I think I need to change profession. As the game itself I can just copy\paste my Gotham Knights review. Core gameplay mechanics are ok. Movement systems are done competent. Cutscenes (out of context, just the cinematography) are great. Every element of the game looks wrong. Expensive, polished, but wrong. Like if they wanted it to fail. For 3 dolars - I tink this is a good experience. If I paid full price for this I think I would've started a riot. The sad part is that it had potential, just gamedesigners made bad decisions repeatedly

This game is so bad, it's not even worth 95% off. The game play is terrible, the first two hours of the story and characters sucked and the performance is piss-poor, with massive frame drops and random crashes. I also had issues trying to play coop with my friends. In the end, we all decided to refund our $3. Please avoid this defective product at all costs.

I got this game when it was on it's concerningly sharp discount last week, and for that price, I'd say I got my money's worth. On the heels of a really strong trilogy of games, it's very sad for me to see Rocksteady making a game largely designed to appeal to board meetings rather than fans, though I respect the talent and commitment they showed in trying to make it work.

The writing isn't terrible, neither is the gameplay, but you can't escape the feeling that this wasn't the game anyone wanted. I've played most of the Co-op Shooter ARPG Loot-system Living game idea wasters out there, and while it must be said that I think this game handles loot scaling and progression better than most of it's peers (guns always felt solid to use, health and damage scaling never forced me to pick something underwhelming just to keep up) it still felt like a system added to the game to make you play longer, rather than make the game more fun.

Which is part of the main issue of this game overall: it struggles to justify itself. The gameplay is fun but not exceptionally complex, and one run of the campaign feels like enough if you don't want to play it over with another character, the story is enjoyable but not so memorable as to attract replays, and the long term gameplay loop of the same few mission types with the occaisional modifier ends up feeling like busywork. Knowing WB, there's every chance this game stops existing forever at any time, which makes me a little sad knowing how much work must have gone into it, and how little thanks the people who did that work will have gotten. If it becomes very cheap again, and you like these characters, I'd say grab it and give it a playthrough, I played solo so can't speak to the quality of multiplayer but solo with bots is fine for a runthrough. My only hope is that Rocksteady survives this game, and will be able to make something more creatively distinct in the future.

This shit ain't worth it bro. 85 mins in and the gameplay is already getting boring *crying ahh emoji*

It is immediately obvious why this title tanked...

[*]...because what that mediocre combat system is encased in, is a SUPERB story and AWESOME environment.

From the perspective of the person who bought it on sale with ''Why not?"

At full price - avoid, you'll be (mostly) disappointed.

An absolute mess of a game. Trying to play co-op is a chore and very far from seamless, with cut-scenes stopping you from loading in, to constant interruptions, server disconnects and crashes.

They games is also a stuttery mess. Not in game, but in its design. It is a 3 minute combat sequence, followed by scores then loading, a bunch of terrible nonsense from the characters, then you move, then you load, and repeat the combat.

The 1 redeeming quality is the actual shooting is fairly good and the rest of the combat mechanics are competent. It is a shame the games seems to be afraid to let you actually spend time enjoying them.

It is also a massive amount of noise and stimulation overload. Visually it is just constant numbers and flashing, and resource explosions(ammo, shields, grenades). Coupled with just constant audio noise like you characters just never shutting up... ever. It is horrible.

I wouldnt recommend this game, I payed £3 and that still feels like £30 too much to suffer though this crap.

Some how not worth $3.50. Read the EULA, this is almost spyware. I crashed multiple time within the tutorial.

It's an ugly, repetitive, corporate product. I'm not even going to call this a game, it's a scheme to make more money. I don't even leave reviews often, that's how much I hated this game.

The game play loop isn't going to be for everyone, it's a pretty generic third person shooter at the end of the day but that said its not bad. The upside is that the characters are written impeccably. I don't generally sit around and watch cut scenes with my ADHD making it pretty hard. But I haven't skipped a single one for this game. Some are genuinely laugh out loud funny and make the less than perfect story more bearable.

i do not get why people hate on this game so much its amazing. the story is very good, the world is well built, the characters are well written and the gameplay (combat+movement) is so fun. after you beat the 'story mode' there is still so much to do/explore (like unlocking new things, extra stories and enteriely new mechanics+characters). the only problems that i have is that the game is a bit too grindy, some of the characters their movement can be kinda annoying and i feel that some mechanics dont get explained well. for people who are dc nerds the story and details are so fun but also if you dont know anything i think would still be very fun. PLEASE GO PLAY THIS, YOU WILL LOVE IT

There is so much hate about this game, but in the last three days I've put my time in and finished the story, maxed episode 6, and episode 1.

its a looter shooter. I honestly enjoyed the game from start to finish. It's a "turn your brain off and shoot baddies" game. lots of hate on forspoken too, great game. dont let other reviews stop you. i snagged the deluxe for like 5$ total and very worth it. solid 7(ish)/10. a teency bit repetitive but i didnt get that feeling until fighting the end game boss for the 15th time to level up mastery.

Thought it was an absurd steal for 5 bucks, turns out my 5 dollars was better spent flushing it down my porcelain throne. Out of my 100 mins of runtime, 10 mins was playing the tutorial and the rest of the 90 minutes was spent loading.......
Suicide Sqaud: Loading Screen. more like

I don’t understand why this game gets so much hate, I love it, the story is just what I was looking for, wasn’t expecting much but I find the combat very enjoyable and smooth, and the characters awesome, I love the idea of taking down the justice league and hearing the brilliant voice acting to go with the games moments, I mostly play boomerang but the other characters are fun aswell, the story is engaging for me and as a DC fan I am satisfied, while it’s not obviously isn’t as good ad the Arkham games nor does the story line up great it is still enjoyable and look forward to finishing the story and more. I bought it on sale for $5.00 which is an absolute steal considering that the game is usually $70 but maybe that changes my opinion because I didn’t pay as much as other did. 🤷

A missed oppurtunity. Yet another game ruined by the "Game as a Service" model.

It is obvious how in this game Rocksteady Studios failed to implement the typical mechanics of a GaaS in an action-adventure game, a genre in which Rocksteady has been a benchmark in the last decades with the Batman Arkham saga.

Suicide Squad: KTJL has a very good combat system (which definitely exceeded my expectations, taking into account the transition from the already well-trodden “melee” combat of the Arkham series to a third person shooter) marred by the little variety of missions, both main and secondary. Every mission is basically: go there, kill a couple of waves of mobs, repeat.
But the developers at Rocksteady have proven time and time again that they are capable of creating compelling main quests and consistently varied side activities; so where's the problem in Suicide Squad? It's in the GaaS model, making an online co-op game with high replayability (or supposed replayability). Everything becomes flat, simplified... goodbye to boss fights like the one with Scarecrow in Arkham Asylum, or side-quests like the Mad Hatter ones. Just think of how the devs simplified those related to the Riddler, they put in Suicide Squad only the AR challenges and the trophies to collect around the city, removing all the puzzle.

As for the narrative side of this game, first of all I appreciated the transition from the dark tones of the Arkham series to this more comic tone in Suicide Squad.
As for the story, I can find the opening with Braniac controlling the entire Justice League interesting, but how it is written and developed makes it all unenjoyable. The narrative is way too fast-paced, there is no build-up between confrontations with members of the Justice League. Why this? Again because of the GaaS model just described. The developers not knowing how to give variety to the missions, they simply decided to cut the story short. And also to get players into the end-game as quickly as possible, for obvious (economic) reasons.

Suicide Squad: KTJL it's not a bad game after all, but I don't feel like recommending it because from Rocksteady I expect a game of a whole different depth.

Again... a missed opportunity.

Get past the tutorial part and the game is actually not that bad. Definitely doesn't deserve the full price at it's current state but in this 95% winter sale it's definitely a good grab for u.

The short answer? not bad Fr! Of course, it is not worth it at the original price, but with a 95% discount? Hell yes...You just have to give it a chance! i mean guys We all love Justice League, especially Batman! But pls don't mix it up. overall it has nice graphic and fun game play! Compared to the past, most of its problems have been solved. however, there's still work to be done on optimization.

servers not working not even a year after release, can't imagine paying full price for this trash

The controls are TERRIBLE without a controller. I play on my PC so that I can use my M&KB and not even an hour in I want to rip my hair out. The game looks amazing. I LOVE DC and was REALLY looking forward to this, but I am annoyed that I didn't just play something else for the last hour.

Quit releasing games to PC and then forcing people to use a controller to actually enjoy it.

Refunded. Three friends bought game, one friends works semi-properly. One game not signing in no after hours of effort and one game crashed multiple times then randomly deleting itself from steam library... Very good would give money again :)

I'm playing at 2k but even if I scale down, change any settings, the game doesn't run any better and no matter the graphics setting i chose wethits low or high im still stuck at 78 fps, on top of that DLSS and FSR seem to do nothing in this game.

CPU usage when playing is at 80% which is the highest i've seen it go most games only run the cpu to about 25-30% usage.

So, i bought this game for dirt cheap (it was on 95% sale), i got this game out of curiosity because of everyone was talking about this game (especially Charlie AKA MoistCritkals also Penguinz0) and so i delve into this tomfoolery of a game.

After much more reviewing and getting more perspective from multiple other people thoughts.
This game had potential, but that was hack-sawed by Live service, poor writing because of certain political group (> Sweet Baby Bullshit.) and repetitive missions and abhorrent decision to eliminate the league in the most disrespectful way, especially to Kevin Conroy batman of all people as well. Sure the bandwagon of hate is there, but it's there because of many rational reasons, and main reason is how this story was deployed and how the characters was introduced and killed off, i don't see this game as canon and i will refuse that it is, even if RockSteady says its not but they *hinted* that it is because of the Batman Museum being main evidence.

So in short summary of this game
- This game is (personally) NOT Canon, i would say its just some political Fanon, this game is not part of the arkham verse no matter how much they try to connect it, it'll never be loved due to poor decisions and writing.

- Live Service, it's terrible i got booted into infinity loading screen because i got disconnected from the server WHILE IM ALOOONE. and its not even free like overwatch 2, Destiny 2, or Warframe so why should a player pay something just to be booted?

- Battle Pass, self explanatory, your shitty for using FOMO against the players that already payed 70-100 for this unfunny snoozefest.

- The Characters are very uncharming or likable (besides shark imo) especially newer batch, Deadshot is not "the greatest" assassin in this game because he got caught and throws a pissy fit, Capt. Boomerang is a fool and heavily unlikable, harley is just a joke, in canon she would really seem like a legit threat, but in this she just goofy even with her traversal ability is goofy, shark in this is a tank with a bit literature in his head.
i haven't met the new season characters but from what other vids showed me, i don't like them either.

- Story the writers choose, *why*, why of all other possible threats they used brainiac and turn the league evil? or how 4 dumbasses somehow killed them? flash would slap them dead, batman would make them stay in wheelchairs forever, superman would just vaporized them and green lantern would just capture them like he did the 2 times in the game. why these 4 and this story line? were the writers on drugs or they this delusional to think 4 nobodies would overpower a God-like alien, world's deadliest man, world's fastest man, and the world's most imaginative man?

Writing and plot is abhorrent, weapons system is random, decision on live service is heavily wrong, jokes a hit or miss, characters unlikable all throughout, adding politics of any kind into this game is a arrow to the knee, This game is not canon and will never be canon good luck runnin this shit to the grave.

As to RockSteady, if you guys gonna make a new game don't let Greed nor Sweet Baby Inc run the show
those two killed alot more games and studios Reps, dont be RockSloppy.

Literally unplayable, updated drivers/tried adjusting the lowest settings on my 2070 super and it still get stuck on 1-17fps. It only ran perfectly during the tutorial which is so strange. Glad that I got the game at 95% off

i would say it's worth for two bucks but i want to leave negative review cuz fuck WB greediness, this game could be amazing if its a single player game, not a live service so piss off WB and take the L

This game is so bugged it's funny. Boring game play. Still not worth the sale price. Just a final cash grab before it dies. This game will die off faster than Marvel's Avengers.

Even at the massively discounted, yet still overpriced rate of 95% off i felt i overpaid for A.S.S. aka Arkham: Suicide Squad.

Take everything you loved about the Arkham games and toss them in the incinerator next to Leto's Joker and youve got A.S.S. The game was exactly as flat as the reviews led me to believe, despite doing my best to avoid letting those poison the well prior to my own experience. It just feels off, youre thrown into a more "goofy" type shooter far more remiscent of the Gotham City Impostors game than Batman Arkham. I would urge you to steer clear of this game and the overall DCEU unless WB finally caves and puts the game for free then maybe. i felt scammed paying for A.S.S. Even as little as i did.

the only few positives i can give is it looks amazing in cutscenes. Like downright beautiful, only to well...... look like ass for lack of a better term in the free roam. However, metropolis rather than a fourth or fifth jaunt thru Gotham is a nice change of pace.

IMO the gameplay is somewhat fun, but the game has few variation of enemies, generic plot, a TERRIBLE performance (yes, I have a good PC that runs any new game at 50~60fps 1080p with high settings), and if that wasn't enough to make this a bad game, it even have microtransations.

Don't buy this game, seriously, don't.
It's not even forth for 3,49€. The only good thing about the game is the performance, VA and facial animations. The best way to describe the game is with sleeping pill.

game is WAY better than I expected. granted i only spent about $4 for it (3.599 CLP) BUT! if it didn't had a stupid live service model and it worked like a normal game with steady updates I would've gladly payed at least $10 for it. overall, absolutely not worth the full $70 price, but worth it if it goes on an insane sale, like right now (95% off lol) and if you get some friends to tag along it's even better.
the game is not terrible, in fact there seems to be a lot of care put into it with the ammount of voice lines they recorded for it and the map looks really good and seems to have a ton of details all around, so if you ever felt morbidly curious to try it and you have 5 bucks to spare, I'd absolutely recomend giving it a shot. It IS only $5 after all...

I expected it to be bad but I did not expect it to be bad enough to still not be worth it at 95% off

The main story was really good until it was AWFUL. 13 more brainiacs is ridiculous, they don't need to do the multiversle bullshit. I dont see 100% this game as possible while maintaining metal sanity. I wanted a good fun story game and was very dissapointed in the 3rd part of the story.

The story especially regarding Batman, is pretty bad, but the gameplay is really good, and once you finish the main story there's tons of content.

I was doing a locating batcave mission, the moment mission was completed the servers went offline and now I have to do everything again. FUCK YOU rocksteady for making this stupid game. I bought the game 80% off, and I still feel robbed. I can't believe they made such a shitty game.

Only worth it on sale.

The game is enjoyable, but after 17 hours, I found myself getting tired of repeatedly shooting the same purple enemies. The game does add some variety with the monsters gaining new abilities after you defeat a hero—like Red becoming faster after beating Flash, or Green after taking down Green Lantern. While I appreciated the twist, it wasn't enough to keep me fully engaged.
The biggest downside for me was the heavy focus on the live service aspect. I have no interest in grinding through multiple battles to defeat Brainiac 13 times, and that really drags down the overall experience. I would recommend this only if it's on sale or if you're really into the live service model.

I gave it an honest go; reading the reviews didn't sell me one direction or the other.

The game story dialogue was pretty fun, but it was more like a movie than a game. Long with few action breaks in-between.

After six hours in, I'm already tired of the missions. Is this really the whole game? Oh it is...

Honestly, I got it on sale and I'm not too mad at it. Maybe if it gets some love I'll come back, but overall...not really worth the daily play it wants from you, nothing is really drawing me as a player to come back and grind.

Worth a chance at 13 dollars I Bought it for on sale. Retail price its a hard pass. Gameplay is repetitive but I have enjoyed so far. The online all the time is a major buzz kill. Writing is meh. It has some funny parts (keyword some). Its worth a shot when its heavily discounted.

It's pretty fun leaping around the city causing carnage, story is entertaining.

This game is a scam, It honestly might be the worst game ive ever played. Please save your money on this one. i feel like i got completely robbed buying this complete trash.

Holy moly, Rocksteady! You absolute mad lads! You took the concept of "goofy antiheroes fighting the Justice League" and cranked it up to 11 with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. This game is a hilarious, action-packed, open-world joyride that had me laughing my butt off from start to finish.

Sure, the story is a bit bonkers, but that's what makes it so much fun. Who wouldn't want to see Harley Quinn cracking wise while Deadshot puts a bullet in Superman's head? The voice acting is top-notch, the writing is witty, and the characters are all incredibly likable, even when they're being complete jerks.

The gameplay is a blast, too. Traversal is a breeze thanks to each character's unique abilities, and the combat is satisfyingly chaotic. I spent hours just messing around in the open world, causing mayhem and destruction. The only downside is that some of the missions can get a bit repetitive, but there's enough variety to keep things interesting.

Overall, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a hilarious, action-packed, and surprisingly heartfelt game. If you're looking for a good laugh and some mindless fun, then this is the game for you. Just don't expect it to win any awards for innovation.

Here are some of the things I loved about the game:

The hilarious story and writing
The top-notch voice acting
The likable characters
The satisfying combat
The fun and expansive open world
Here are some of the things I didn't love about the game:

Some of the missions can be repetitive
The game can be a bit buggy at times
Overall, I would give Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League a 8/10. It's a great game that's worth checking out, especially if you can get it on sale. Just don't expect it to be the next Arkham Asylum.

P.S. If you're looking for a serious, story-driven game, then this is not the game for you. But if you're looking for a good laugh and some mindless fun, then you'll love Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League.

Get it on a discount (70% or more) play the short story, mess around a bit, uninstall and move on. You'll get a couple hours of fun gameplay, and mediocre story.

Is it worth full price? Probably not, mainly due to the short main-story*, BUT, it's actually fun as heck - on par if not more fun than Gotham Knights for me.
*For the price point, you'd expect a longer main story.

It looks great, runs great, combat between each character feels different! Plus, you finally get to live out the anti-hero/villain story, for once, you see the heroes from the opposite end of the chamber (in a sense).

Buy this on sale & give it a go, genuinely a fun gaming experience!

This game is not just bad, it's offensivily bad. I wouldn't play it even if you paid me, and that's saying something, because currently I am broke AF.

Honestly pirating it might be the best way to get this game to run, every forum is full of problems with Hydra loading and errors with barely any functional solutions.

Gameplay itself is alright,

The game itself is actually not bad, shooting and movement remind me of Sunset Overdrive or Crackdown, but the PC version is just not good enough. The game doesn't run well, the performance tanks in some areas for no reason. There's constan stutter in the open world that is impossible to ignore. A rather poor port. Play this on console if you're interested.

Going to be honest. I don't care about multiplayer at all and never did. Totally ignored this title because of the the negative press and the live service rubbish. Ended up picking the game up for £10 on sale and to be honest, I am fully enjoying the story and the whole sole experience. It's not super deep of anything like that, but I like it. Its nice easy going and may serve as a play between the old Rock Steady games hopefully something new and single player.
I like the writing and the characters and found them fun to play with. WB and RS could save this title, simple cut the bull, add more story and ditch the online and it could work and will make money, but what do I know :-p

i do not get why people hate on this game so much its amazing. the story is very good, the world is well built, the characters are well written and the gameplay (combat+movement) is so fun. after you beat the 'story mode' there is still so much to do/explore (like unlocking new things, extra stories and enteriely new mechanics+characters). the only problems that i have is that the game is a bit too grindy, some of the characters their movement can be kinda annoying and i feel that some mechanics dont get explained well. for people who are dc nerds the story and details are so fun but also if you dont know anything i think would still be very fun. PLEASE GO PLAY THIS, YOU WILL LOVE IT

This game is very bad. I play less than hour but i had enough. It's so generic and with no soul at all. Even the menu on the beginning its generic, looks like taken from some free menu shop. I am sorry i really wanted to like that game as I am Batman fan.
