Positives

• The graphics and music are great, as there is an excellent mixture between drama and comedy, and it presents the world of superheroes in a distinctive way, with the character of comics, as well as appropriate music and adds enthusiasm and epic to the game.
• The fighting is unique, as you control an army of characters and draw different shapes that make different weapons like a sword, a pistol, a fist and a whip. You will use these weapons depending on the enemy, the armor is weak against the hammer while the gelatinous is weak against the sword and so on, and you can buy repelling and avoiding abilities and additional strikes and all depend on a battery that charges automatically over time.
• There is a lot of freedom to fight and it is smooth combat and depends on the rapid response of the attacks of the enemies and the selection of the appropriate weapon and there is a lot of innovation. Weapons are also used to solve puzzles, and you can also build chains, ladders, bridges, and even a windsurfer.
• The content is varied and huge, there are secret missions and secrets to explore, as well as side games such as plane control, machine gun, etc. and finally cooperative special missions.
• Leader fights are epic, full of imagination and ideas, which are one of the most unique and enriching the game.

Negatives

• Many things are unclear, whether what is required in some situations or even some advanced mechanics and there are always a lot of things that happen at the same time on the screen. This was an opportunity to add hints and lessons to players but was not used.
• What distinguishes the game is also one of the causes of frustration and high pressure of play, in order to switch between weapons you need to draw, and when your team is injured you need to help them or wait before you can use the weapons again, and it presents a challenge but it is not fun, and the fact that you control 100 characters means that The camera is far away, which makes it difficult to follow events, and when they are rounded off, you will be attacked by enemies that you cannot see.
• This version does not improve much, the performance is better, but it still suffers from the usual Switch and Playstation 4, and there is a new version of music and a side story will be added later, and this limits the improvements and additions in this version.

good to mention

• The game was designed for Wii U and in this version instead of a second screen it became one in one or two next to one according to your choice.
• The weapons are drawn with the right stick and there is an option to draw them on the touch surface on the Playstation 4 and on the screen in the mobile mode on the switch.

Evaluation from the other

• Excellent
• Mythical

Butter

A game that fascinates you with its ideas and madness, frustrates you with its control, lack of clarity, and the abundance of what is happening on the screen. Unfortunately, this improved version did not improve much, but for anyone who is ready to take on its problems it is a game full of great ideas and moments.
