Let’s face it: Superman hasn’t really had the best video game moments.
Here are five ways the next game could change that!
Superman is the embodiment of the very idea of a superhero.
The last son of Krypton is the defender of truth, justice, tolerance, and presumably puppies.
Well, except star in a decent video game, of course.
The biggest reason that Superman has yet to star in a truly exceptional game is ironically Superman himself.
How do you develop game around a character that is nearly unbeatable?
Where is the sense of challenge when you are essentially playing as a god?
Perhaps what is needed is a change in approach.
Like what, you ask?
Well like…
Superman Must Die!
Modeled after the supervillain base-building gameEvil Genius, Superman Must Die!
puts players into the role of a brand new, custom-created supervillain in Metropolis.
If nothing else, Superman Must Die!
Its that element that makes the genre perfect for the far too gifted Superman.
So why not incorporate those cinematic qualities into a video game?
One of the great things about the action in theArkhamgames is that Batman wasnt that far from invulnerability himself.
Youve got me there.
But Bizarro does offer a solution to nearly every problem that plagues Superman games.
