DC’s Justice League: Cosmic Chaos is a crazy Superhero adventure that’ll make you smile. With classic heroes and cruel Super-Villains, this comprises many well-trodden tropes and hilarious one-liners. Moreover, it oozes retro charm and is perfect for players of all ages.
Developed by PHL Collective and published by Outright Games Ltd., this is an -action-adventure title. What’s more, it can be played solo or cooperatively with another. Consequently, it is an excellent game for families and those that love the DC franchise.
DC’s Justice League: Cosmic Chaos is wonderfully cliched.
I’ve always adored the cheesy one-liners and pun-based humour associated with the Superhero genre. Fortunately, DC’s Justice League: Cosmic Chaos doesn’t disappoint. With perfectly timed jokes, colourful characters, and excellent dialogue, you’ll laugh throughout. Furthermore, the large open world is fascinating to explore.
You control Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman as they take on an insane trickster. Mr. Mxyzptlk is from the 5th Dimension and can’t help but cause mischief. Consequently, this naughty villain must be stopped before it is too late. Sadly, though, most of the Justice League has been bewitched by this prankster. Accordingly, the aforementioned heroes must step forward and save the day.
Brilliant button-bashing.
I’m not one for button-bashing titles. However, I cherished the simple combat, the special abilities, and each unique superhero. The vivid and interesting world is awash with fishy monsters that must be thwarted. By throwing punches, using special powers, and swapping your hero, you’ll overcome every foe you face.
The combat was great, but it was improved whenever you played with another gamer. This free-play mode allows you to explore the large world while kicking some ass. Furthermore, you can work together to tackle every creature and villain you encounter. What was also great was the variety of enemies you’ll face. As such, you must punch, kick, and smash each one if you wish to progress.
Collectables, games, and lairs.
One of the key mechanics is the upgrade and collectable system. The surrounding world is loaded with loot, resources, and comic books. The latter is used to buy era-specific costumes for each superhero. These add little to the gameplay, but they were amusing, colourful, and worth the effort to unlock. The loot and resources are essential if you wish to upgrade your team or improve your gear. Consequently, as the action moves on, the enemies get tougher and you need the strongest characters possible.
Alongside this, you’ll stumble across lairs and strange games. Mr. Mxyzptlk loves to tease the Justice League. Accordingly, to keep him happy, you must endure a range of childish games. These mindless moments are testing, amusing, and a fine distraction from the rest of the action. The lairs, on the other hand, allow you to test your skills against some villains. What’s more, you’ll unlock some excellent side quests that pad out the main storyline.
DC’s Justice League: Cosmic Chaos is great to look at.
Played using an isometric viewpoint, you never struggle to see what’s going on. Alongside this, the free-flowing camera lets you adjust the angle to your liking. This was great, as it helps whenever you are exploring tight spaces or creepy lairs. Furthermore, this is complemented by an easy-to-use AI. With clean menus and easy-to-follow upgrade systems, little guidance is required.
The camera work and UI may be great, but the pièce de résistance has to be the Chibi art style. I adored the OTT character models, the vivid colour palette and the smooth animation. Moreover, the fantastic stage design and the interesting open world were great to look at and were in keeping with the theme.
In typical DC fashion, the acting is bold, amusing, and just a bit absurd. This is matched by the loud and aggressive audio and the fun and mischievous tunes. Alongside this, you’ll smile at the crunching sound effects and the brilliant jokes. Subsequently, the incredible audio sets the tone for the bizarre and unbelievable plot to unfold.
Smash, Crash, Bang!
With responsive inputs and an excellent tutorial, this is perfect for younger gamers. Moreover, the superb UI highlights each button and you know exactly when you can execute every special ability. Accordingly, though there are many layers to the action, it never feels overwhelming and was a pleasure to play.
Collectables, resources, outfits, and much more will keep you playing this title. Alongside this, the cooperative mode is fun, and the story is silly but well thought out. Additionally, you must level up your hero, upgrade your skills, and explore many strange locations. Furthermore, there are plenty of villains to tackle, an array of heroes to save, and many side quests to complete. Consequently, this has masses of longevity and replay value.
DC’s Justice League: Cosmic Chaos is entertaining, colourful, and oozes retro charm.
Outright Games Ltd. have an amazing list of published titles. As such, I was confident that DC’s Justice League: Cosmic Chaos would entertain me. With colourful characters, cliched dialogue, and puns galore, it lived up to my expectations. However, I can appreciate that some gamers may find the acting and puns to be somewhat shallow. Moreover, the combat could become repetitive if you tackled long gaming sessions. Yet, I still enjoyed every moment and I recommend that you buy it here! Can you put the trickster back in his place? Save the Justice League, attack the fish monsters, and set the town free.
