Gameplay- Set in the large open world of Metropolis, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League aims to offer an action-packed experience. This can be an annoying challenge for players, yet, since the requirement for an internet connection detracts from the overall experience. Even though the game includes four playable characters—Deadshot, Harley Quinn, Captain Boomerang, and King Shark—their reliance on guns raises the question of how combat techniques can be diverse. In comparison to games like Overwatch, which is exceptional at providing each character a unique arsenal of moves, Kill the Justice League fails to differentiate its heroes via unique abilities. Harley Quinn, for example, may have shown her signature hammer from the comics or her baseball bat from the Birds of Prey movie, while King Shark could have shown his fierce teeth, I would have enjoyed the game more if King Shark actually ate enemies whole like in the 2021 Suicide Squad Movie (Which is way better than this game) & the comics, They did it in Maneater, why didn't kill the justice league do it. The traversal choices for each character, offering a variety of fascinating ways to investigate, stand out as strengths despite this neglect.
I wanted to talk about the HUD in particular because I do think that the amount of elements on the HUD does make the experience overwhelming & distracting. Spider Man does the HUD perfectly but Suicide Squad Kill the justice league, has too many HUD elements to work with & i do think they could have cut them down a bit
In addition, cooperative multiplayer mode, that allows up to four players, enhances the enjoyment of the game. But the repetitive missions and boring enemy variety detract from the overall enjoyment by creating a sense of boredom. Bosses offer unique challenges, however the post-defeat cutscenes are uninteresting & fail to make any more of the pleasure of victory. In particular, dealing with characters like as The Flash can be a bit frustrating, and emphasises the need for improved story execution and gameplay mechanics. Despite these disadvantages, the inclusion of a skill tree system for growth enhances character customisation by allowing players test different builds on the progress. Additionally, the possibility of more content updates—such as new playable characters and locations—offers confidence for a more engaging and diverse experience.
Story- The story starts off with the appearance of the title squad, who Amanda Waller pushed into service by promising to kill them with implanted bombs. As the superhero group the Justice League gets taken control by the villain Brainiac, the group is tasked with defeating him but ultimately finds themselves battling for Earth's fate. When the crew travels through hazardous areas of Metropolis and beyond, connections alter and betrayals emerge.
With each encounter, the squad confronts greater risks while they travel through a hostile landscape populated by brainwashed heroes and frightening enemies. Tensions escalate as the team fights to stay alive and negotiates the legally difficult circumstances of their mission, while the fate of the planet lies in the balance.
The game's writing, in my opinion, is really terrible because of the ridiculous scenes, such Captain Boomerang going for a number one on The Flash's body. That is truly disgusting; it's not humorous. Kill The Justice League wasn't ever hilarious, no matter how hard it tried. Although I understand that the game is called Kill The Justice League, I hated the way that each member was killed. Wonder Woman's death was the only one that I felt was appropriate for the character; I'll discuss Batman in his own section before moving on to the summary, but the game's story and writing were poor.
Batman/Kevin Conroy- Given the uproar surrounding Batman's death, it makes sense to talk about the way the late Kevin Conroy portrays Batman in "Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League" as well as how he was handled in the game. The manner in which the game portrays Batman's death feels rushed and dismissive of his legacy. Many fans find the narrative's portrayal of Batman's demise to be disturbing and unsatisfying. Considering Kevin Conroy's excellent portrayal of Batman throughout the Arkham series, it appears like a cheap and cruel & unfair conclusion for such an iconic character to take his still-breathing corpse to Lex Luthor for study only to have Harley Quinn execute him.
As a supporter of Kevin Conroy's portrayal of Batman, I agree with the opinions expressed by a large number of individuals all across the internet regarding the uproar against Batman's treatment in "Kill the Justice League." It is devastating to see Conroy's final portrayal as Batman received with such a poor narrative choice, considering his outstanding performance as Batman. The abruptness and disrespect for the character's history, especially in the wake of Conroy's passing in late 2022, only makes fans—including me—feel more bitter and salty. Don't forget, This is not the first time media has disrespected Batman because Ben Affleck's version of Batman in the DCEU is terrible

Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League is the most disappointing game in the past 5 years besides Redfall & Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. It has a frustrating Multiplayer, HUD, & Mission structure. The Narrative Tries To be funny but thanks to Captain Boomerang, It just wasn't. DC hasn't had it easy in the Video Game department in the past few years but since James Gunn who Directed The Guardians Of The Galaxy Trilogy has confirmed that Video Games will be apart of his new DC Universe, hopefully those video games will actually be better than Kill The Justice League & The Mediocre Gotham Knights
