Marvel's Avengers lead combat designer Vince Napoli spoke with IGN, talking all about the abilities
What is known
At launch, players will have access to Black Widow, Captain America, Hulk, Iron Man, Ms. Marvel and Thor. Each will receive a unique set of skills and fighting style.
Black Widow
Black Widow is called the fastest of the six.According to Napoli, the development of a combat system for Natasha was done first, since the team had to create a hero without superpowers who fights against the “gods.”
As a result, they decided to make Black Widow dexterous, givingThe heroine has the fastest attacks and combinations of blows in the game. She can also switch to electric batons, unleashing slower but more powerful attacks.
The second feature of Black Widow is invisibility. The girl knows how to quickly enter and exit camouflage mode, deceiving enemies and delivering surprise attacks.
Captain America
Gameplay for Captain America is under constructionon the ability to throw a shield, which will allow you to carry out “combos” at a distance. In addition, it is important to observe timings. For example, by timing the moment after a throw, Cap can kick the shield back at the enemy.
Previously, Napoli answered questions from fansabout Marvel’s Avengers, where he said that Captain America can run along walls, do somersaults and attack the enemy with a body push. The developer described the hero as a balance of agility and strength.
Hulk
In turn, the Hulk relies more on strengthand environment. The hero’s peculiarity is his ability to grab enemies and objects around him, which can then be used as a weapon. In addition, the Hulk can deal area damage by climbing tall buildings and jumping onto enemies.
iron Man
Iron Man relies on repulsors and ranged attacks. The hero will have 36 ranged combat techniques in his arsenal, which can extend into melee combat.
Miss Marvel
Ms. Marvel's moves are based on the Avengers' attacks.like Black Widow's "light punch" or Hulk's shoulder push. According to Napoli, the girl joined the heroes and learns from them, so borrowing techniques seems logical.
"She has a version of almost every character's attack,but in Kamala style. We just wanted to give that feeling, like, “She’s studying, and where will she study? Where did she actually get her inspiration from? Of course it will be different Avengers,” says Napoli.
Thor
Thor's fighting style resembles Kratosfrom God of War 2018, which is not surprising, since Napoli worked on the PlayStation 4 exclusive. However, the matter is not limited to hammer blows. Thor can electrify himself by creating a shield of lightning, attack enemies with lightning, or charge special attacks with the elements.
Marvel's Avengers will be released on September 4on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Stadia. The developers also promise versions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, which owners of the game for the current generation of consoles will receive for free.
