It's quite limited, the game has a system where you open the costumes via playing the game, or buying via cash or via ingame seasonal event currencies from shops, and more than half of character creation powers are behind the paywall.


The prologue feels promising, but the story is not good, it's full of the same old cliche characters, and details DC Universe is known for, sadly there is nothing interesting about the story, even though the prologue made it look like it's going to be. It has potential, and we have voiceovers, some cutscenes, and some static cutscenes with no animation, but with voiceover and pictures, etc, but those don't change how the story is, the story is bad as you wait from most DC stories, same old enemies, same old cliche problems, some old boring things happening over and over again. And questing is literally boring AF, nearly every quest feels exactly the same, and doing them is quite boring. This is probably the biggest problem of this game, it's just boring, no need to sugarcoat or beat around the bush.


As I told gameplay cycle is quite boring, along with this combat is not really good either, even tho it wasn't this bad in 2011, after all these years with nearly no improvements it feels quite poor. Powers are not bad, at least I can say they are better than weapon skills, but they still become quite boring after some time.


PVP is quite P2W, and catching up with the whales is not that easy, cheap, or enjoyable.


It's kind of is, saying this game ''F2P'' is a big flex, because it's not, playing as an F2P player is nearly impossible with all those limitations, especially inventory space is a really big problem, you gotta become a member at least one time, and spent 15-20 bucks on inventory at least, not to forget you can pay cash to reach level 30, or even reach certain CR levels via paying cash, the game has a lot of P2S, and P2W mechanics for sure, and it doesn't deserve the F2P name at all. The only thing they do good for F2P players was made DLCs playable, and not hide behind the paywall, but not like it matters, since they are mostly group content, and you still need to reach a certain CR level for them.


Not really, they only look different costemically, in the end every enemy feels nearly same, some BOSSes are bit different than others, but it's not good enough to say it has good variety, etc.


Open world design is one of things this game does good actually, especially Gotham looks pretty neat, and running around with superspeed or flying, etc, actually feels quite good.


Visually the game looks fine, it could have look far better if they didn't turn back from their promise to make a visual update, but still it doesn't look that bad.


Considering how old the game is, and developers making maintanances every f*cking day you wait it's to be bug free, seriously making maintanances everyday is bit excessive, but there are still some bugs exist, like the one making you character not able to use speed force jump feature, etc.


The end game is nothing more than grinding, spending cash, etc, to the game to get more CR, simple as that.


There was a time when this game had good potential, but they couldn't execute that potential well even despite having all these years, considering everything it's not worth playing anymore.

Updated my review after marvel rivals:
Honestly this game was made 13 years ago but was still on point. Dc has way better characters than marvel, its just that warner bros is so incompetent that it doesnt seem that way, anyways, this game is really good, dont be fooled

kinda gets old sometimes, but according to my friends it can be really engaging 100%ing this game.
