Sadly, this obviously means that the game also includes microtransactions. There’s a gradation in rarity and of course these equipment pieces are obtained through loot boxes, here called Mother Boxes. Just like in For Honor, you can level up each fighter to level 20 and equip them with all sorts of gear. These are the game’s variant on the X-ray moves from Mortal Kombat and are utterly insane ways to obliterate your opponent. Many of the core mechanics of the first Injustice are back: environmental interactions, stage transitions, clashes, character abilities and the super meter, allowing you to do enhanced versions of special moves and of course the super move. But it’s always nice to such an expanded story mode in a fighting game. I can also imagine that is must be hard to follow the story if you haven’t played the first game. Sometimes, it seems like the story is all over the place with certain scenes added to the mix just for the sake of giving that one character his moment in the spotlight. Sure, it feels very cinematic but it also plays very much like some fan fiction. One could say that Injustice has one of the more refined stories in a fighting game. The Justice League will have to reunite once again and team up with old enemies and allies alike to stop Brainiac! Injustice 2 continues the story but a new threat is looming on the horizon. The first Injustice created it’s own storyline (and comic books)where Superman went on a tyrannical rampage after being tricked by the Joker into killing Lois Lane and blowing up Metropolis with a nuclear bomb.
#Injustice 2 ultimate edition series#
For DC, their main outing is remains the Batman Arkham series and Injustice. It’s only logical that the gaming world wants to have it’s piece of the pie. The popularity of superheroes is at a high point at the moment, with both the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the DC Cinematic Universe reaching their momentum. Round 2 was released earlier this year for consoles and now the game is finally available for PC. Classic heroes and villains from the DC stable went head to head here.

While Mortal Kombat may be their main franchise, NetherRealm Studios created another fine fighting game in 2013 called Injustice: Gods Among Us.
