Our Marvel Avengers Alliance Season 2 Review

If you are looking for a Marvel Avengers Alliance Season 2 review, you came to the right place. So, I spent a few hours last night playing Marvel Avengers Alliance Season 2, and I have to say that the new season of the game is living up to most of my hopes and expectations, but falls short in a few areas.

The Music

Odd that I would start out with talking about the music during my Marvel Avengers Alliance Season 2 review, but I have to. Music needs to set the music for a game or an adventure; the new music does that. While listening to the new music, I get brief thoughts of the original Superman movie, Luke standing on the hill looking at the twin suns, Elliot and E.T. flying past the moon, the closing credits of Indiana Jones, the moments before a James Bond action sequence, and points of dread I a Jaws movie. The hints in the music are perfect and make me want to play the new levels.

New Progression System

I really like the way allows you to work towards two goals at one time. That helps out and prevents you from having to redo the same level over and over again. At the same time, the constant bonus awards pushes you to go further. To this point, I have unlocked five of the stages in the chapter and seen only goals which are not too time consuming or difficult. Since there are many difficult things which need to be done for full completion of a chapter, it is good that the smaller goals are easier.

The New Levels

The new levels hold a challenge, but they are easier than I was hoping they would be – even on Challenge Mode. When you first start out a new level, you compete it at normal level. To accomplish one of the main goals for the chapter, you have to go back and finish the level in Challenge Mode. I like this new addition, but so far the levels are still a little too easy for me (Level 190 with most of my characters at level 12).

The New Bosses

I am so-so on the new bosses. The top level bosses were all used in the first season and third-string characters such as Sugar Man had to be brought out. While it is interesting to see them being used, it feels like the creators were forced to come up short in this area. The fact that Sugar Man is about as difficult as Baron Zemo , this strikes me as odd. If there were great bosses left over from the first string, this part of my Marvel Avengers Alliance Season 2 review would have been better.

Rewards

Another high point in this Marvel Avengers Alliance Season 2 review, is the rewards. I spoke already about the constant rewards, but having the subsections (such as Heroic Battles) allows for more types of rewards and more rewards. I cannot be upset with more awards. Getting new costumes for completion is awesome.

Overall Playability

For me, this section of the Marvel Avengers Alliance Season 2 review is positive, but it might be a negative for newer players. Since I have been playing for over a year, I have most of the characters available in the game. Completing side missions is easy since I have most of the needed characters. Someone who is new would not and would take a much longer time to complete each level, stage, or chapter.

Marvel Avengers Alliance Season 2 Review Rating?

Overall, for my Marvel Avengers Alliance Season 2 review, I would have to give the game an 8 out of 10. If there were better bosses left over for the second season, if it was not so lengthy for newer players, and the new bosses were not ridiculously strong for who they were – my Marvel Avengers Alliance Season 2 review would have probably peaked out.

SDCC Marvel Avengers Alliance Announcements – Thoughts

Those of us who play Marvel Avengers Alliance on Facebook, and through other means, had some great announcements to find out about from San Diego Comic-Con International. While I was hoping there would be a definitive date for the release of Marvel Avengers Alliance Season 2, I am happy with many of the other announcements made. Here are my thoughts.

One of the big changes announced about Marvel Avengers Alliance Season 2 is the fact that variant costumes will now be the ultimate prize in each chapter. Instead of getting a golden weapon, such as in the first season of the game, we will automatically win costumes, so we can save our command points up for a change. New costumes officially slotted so far are Iron Fist’s Heroic Age costume at the end of Marvel Avengers Alliance Season 2 Chapter 1 and Uncanny Cyclops at the end of Chapter 2.

Special Op 12

Even though we are still in the middle of Special Op 11, a little information was given about Special Op 12. It will be entitled Dark Reign and Ares will be the reward hero. I was a little worried that heroes would no longer be the ultimate reward in a Special Op mission, but that worry has been put to rest.

Soon, we are going to be able to create offensive and defensive teams for PvP. I am hoping this will be a part of PvP Season 10, but I have not received confirmation as of this writing. What this means to me is that we will be able to create two PvP teams. One for when we are playing, and one for when players are going against us. I am already coming up with some defensive ideas.

Bishop, who was officially announced this weekend, will be the character awarded to the top players in Marvel Avengers Alliance PvP Season 10.

New Playable Characters

Dr. Voodoo, Moon Knight, and Squirrel Girl will all be characters offered in the store very soon. I am excited by all three of these characters, but Squirrel Girl takes the damn cake.

Electra will be the next Lock Box character, so I am sure there is going to be some type of benefit going along with teaming her with Daredevil.

Baddies

The Circle of 8 will apparently be the main baddies of Marvel Avengers Alliance Season 2. We all know that secondary and lower characters are going to be introduced. Hopefully they will be as fun to play against as the main villains from Season 1. Also, Thanos will play a part in an upcoming Special Ops mission entitled “Infinity.” So much to look forward to.

Marvel Avengers Alliance Season 2 Still Coming

Marvel Avengers Alliance has been teased for week, but there is still not very much that we know about the “next season” of the game. Let’s take a look at what we do know at this point.

The Teaser

Much has been said about the Marvel Avengers Alliance Season 2 teaser, but there are a few points which have escaped some of the forums I have looked in upon. First off, I love the comment in the upper right hand corner that points out how most heroes are still only 90 command points. The concern this raises is that whenever a comic book company points out how their prices are still low, the prices go up.

Next, note that all of the characters in the promo are third and fourth level villains. Razorback, Doctor Bong, Two-Gun and Hate Monger are characters we rarely see explored. Maybe they will finally get their chance to shine.

Since Armless Tiger Man and Lady Octopus are left standing in the picture before all of the “slain” characters, I am led to believe they will be among the last villains in Marvel Avengers Alliance Season 2.

Reptil is up on the top right corner. Hopefully he becomes a playable character. My daughter loves him.

What Characters are Coming

Marvel Avengers Alliance Wiki reports that Son of Satan, Doctor Voodoo, and Mon Knight are all characters on their way in the game. Son of Satan and Doctor Voodoo, though, have been on the block for months. Of course, they could be released through PvP or through a Special Mission, but Marvel Avengers Alliance Season 2 would be a great time to release them as well.

Changes Already Seen?

We have seen the group boss appear over the last month and sponsored missions. I expect more of these when Marvel Avengers Alliance Season 2 begins. What more might we see?

Is Anyone Left?

Ok, this sections is going to have to look at the game and look at what has not come out yet. Which major characters have not been seen yet in Marvel Avengers Alliance which should come out in Marvel Avengers Alliance Season 2? Where is Venom? I would love to see the Silver Surfer and Galactus. Maybe we could see Fin Fang Foom of some of the characters from the Guardians of the Galaxy. As a fan of Canadian characters, how about Sasquatch? We have not seen the Super Skrull or any of the Skrulls for that matter.

There are so many major characters the game has not touched upon yet that few should believe that there is nobody left to introduce in Marvel Avengers Alliance Season 2. I just hope they can get the ball rolling a little faster as I am chomping at the bit with anticipation.
