![]() "Luckily, combat itself did not get boring for me as new things constantly kept being introduced." The style also helps this game stand out as Nintendo and Koei Tecmo's distinct take on the Marvel Ultimate Alliance series, so it is a look they should keep for future installments. Marvel Ultimate 3: The Black Order's style ultimately strives in its cutscenes, which are always introducing something cool in this comic book aesthetic. The frame rate also struggled to keep up sometimes during gameplay, so it is not the Marvel or Nintendo Switch game with the best presentation. ![]() The presence of horrible aliasing makes some of the game's environments much less enticing to look at despite their color and accuracy, especially when the camera zooms out. Unfortunately, aliasing can mar an otherwise colorful game. Character designs and locations also look more comics-accurate than MCU-accurate, which once again shows that this game is not solely dependent on the success and audience of those films. ![]() While Marvel's Spider-Man, the upcoming Marvel's Avengers, and even the original Marvel Ultimate Alliance games go for a more realistic look, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order plays to the Nintendo Switch's strengths with a cel-shaded art style. The visual style also does a great job at capturing the spirit of the comics. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order is definitely a game you will want to approach as a current or aspiring Marvel fan first and foremost, as that is how you will get the most out of it.

Even in stints where gameplay could get repetitive, I still wanted to see what happened next kept me enthralled. Every five or ten minutes a new hero, villain, locale, or reference would be introduced. I see that as the greatest purpose of a comic book crossover game like this, so I could not be more pleased that this title succeeds at that.Īs an avid fan, the game's story also managed to consistently keep things fresh and interesting. The original Marvel Ultimate Alliance was one of the most integral parts of my introduction to this comic book universe during my childhood, and with its large cast and an extensive database with a lot of information, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order can totally serve that same purpose for today's up and coming fans.
