![]() During a Clash, players bet a portion of their super meter hoping to regain health or deal damage. Special Moves also come in very handy to halt an incoming combo from the opponent by activating the Clash system. There are three major types of attacks, Basic, Combo and Special Moves. Then again, for any fighting game, it’s only a matter of practicing more in solo or tutorial modes.Ī good thing for the Injustice series is that it plays great with the pad, and those who are playing it for the first time won’t take long to get used to it. Given time, special moves and combos become easy to learn, yet not so easy to time when the fight gets tighter. It’s hard to master all the special moves of every major character during the story mode. In every stage, uses of hand to hand combat, weapons or powers and environmental tools are well constructed. Speaking of fighting, mechanically it works in a very balanced manner, just like its previous version. There are around thirty characters to try out, all with a wide range of super powers and fighting styles. Injustice 2 brings out most of the familiar faces, and also introduces new characters like Gorilla Grodd, Swamp Thing, Red Lantern, Atrocitus and few other DC characters from Teen Titans. As a player, you fight through this conflict while being introduced to the large roster of characters. Even though the conflict among supers is still at large, Brainiac’s arrival unites them temporarily. His entry makes things take a turn for the worse, as he aims to complete his Kryptonian collection. The introduction of Supergirl, brings out Brainiac, who pretty much destroy planets in the process of collecting cities, which is what he does for fun. Laid out through a few hours’ worth of campaign with impressive cutscenes, the story of Injustice 2 is told in the most impressive manner. For any fighting game nowadays its story is a significant feature, and Injustice 2 makes an example of it. Wonder Woman, joined by Black Adam, plot to free Superman with the help of another superhero Kara Zor-El, also known as Supergirl. Superman, defeated in the previous game, stays imprisoned in a special Red Sun Prison. With the help of Flash and Green Lantern, Batman tries to restore civilization to its usual state. The story of Injustice 2 kicks off five years after Gods Among Us, with the world still recovering from the devastating war between the heroes and their opponents. There are some hiccups with this new feature but nothing to hold the title back. These improvements were pretty much expected in any sequel, but what stands out most is the addition of a RPG-like gear system that adds tons of replayability, while also allowing players to craft their own characters, be they hero or a villain, allowing growing them through gameplay. Its gameplay is now superior, character portrayal is solid, and the story is thoughtful. ![]() With the release of Injustice 2, NetherRealm Studios have taken this series a step further, bringing the best possible experience any fighting game can ever provide. A clear sign of a proper contender, if anything. While it was hard to crown any of these series, since each of them has their pros and cons, Injustice: Gods Among Us showed up in 2013, NoobFeed’s Chief Editor Daav Valentaten being quoted in his review saying it was “Beyond any fighting game of its time”. Virtua Fighter, The King of Fighters, Tekken, Dead or Alive and many more series continued to keep the fans of this genre busy for decades. Since then it’s always been a journey of amazing fighting games releasing successively. Within a year, in 1992, Mortal Kombat was released and fighting games had never felt better. Friendly controls with highly detailed characters and stages seemed like a heavenly mix, especially noting the perfect implementation of the game’s combo mechanics. For the fighting game genre, the release of Street Fighter II, back in 1991, is sometimes considered revolutionary.
