Today was the day. A-Day. The Avengers were opening their new West Coast branch. A day of celebration for the team who has saved the World from threats more times than I could count. Too bad this day would be the day the Avengers failed us. The day they would be..NO MORE!!!!
The presentation we attended started with the A-Day celebration, as suddenly the Golden Gate Bridge is riddled with explosions. Thor and Iron man hurry to save the day, splitting up to take care of separate emergencies. We start with the blonde-haired God saving civilians from these mysterious enemies. Thor’s combat would best be summarized as Kratos from the recent God of War (2018) game. Thor smashes and bashes low-level threats with Mjinilor, his mighty magical hammer. At one point he even pins a far away enemy against a bus with it, as he continues to beat another one senseless, then quickly recalls his weapon. He can also call down lighting, shocking his surrounding foes and empowering him to do even more damage. This is the Thor you’ve always wanted to play as. This is Thor done right.
Diving out of Quinjet, Bruce transforms into our favorite green Behemoth. Upon landing on the bridge, he immediately begins to HULK SMASH PUNY HUMAN ENEMIES to the idiots who think they can do any damage to the radioactive empowered beast. I’ll be honest with you, the Hulk’s combat segment looked like the most fun out of the five! Hulk pulled a ‘Loki’ on one enemy, slamming him into the ground repeatedly. Hell, at one point he was beating other enemies with two other enemies. He even used his patented ‘sonic slap’ to clear debris from his path. If there’s ever another Hulk: Ultimate Destruction game the team at Crystal Dynamics needs to do it. I can’t wait to get THESE HANDS on with the emerald giant.
After smashing (and jumping!) his way across the bridge as he battled tanks and other ridiculous enemies, Hulk made his way to Iron Man, the gameplay switched over to Captain America. For some mysterious reason, the Avenger’s helicarrier began to take flight, with Steve on it. In the control room Cap soon begins to battle against his own adversaries, who outnumbered our the First Avenger ten to one. This is no problem as he quickly takes them down with epic takedowns and his BRAHsome shield. Charging up his attack he unleashes his glorious shield which mows down these agents of evil. Cap clears the area of baddies, then goes to invest in why the Helicarrier’s reactor is overheating down below.
