Midnight Sons

Midnight Sons is an open world Action-Role-Playing Hack and Slash game based on the Marvel comics superhero team and series of the same name developed by Omega Force and published by Koei Tecmo. It is the second Marvel-licensed game to be published under the new Marvel Games universe banner following the release of Insomniac's 2016 Spider-Man game.

Similar to their Marvel Television Universe (DareDevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, The Punisher), the game takes on a darker, grittier and more mature-themed format, having focused on the mystical side of the Marvel universe, a notable departure from their Activision-licensed games. It is directed by Tomoyuki Kitamura and produced by Hisashi Koinuma, who previously helmed the Samurai Warrior series and Attack on Titan (2016 game). 

Midnight Sons was released on February 14, 2017 (Valentines Day) for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo NX and Microsoft Windows.

Synopsis
When a legion of demonic beings, led by the sorceress, Lilith and her spawn (Lilin) begin to manifest, S.H.I.E.L.D. captain Nick Fury enlists Dr. Strange to assemble a new team of supernatural beings to battle these new mystical threats that are beyond the main Avengers team's capabilities. Among them is none other than Johnny "Ghost Rider" Blaze, who, along with the vampire hunter, Blade, wages war against her kin.

Gameplay
Midnight Sons takes place on an intercontinental, open world scale featuring a combination of classic Marvel comic/film story archs as well as new. You gradually enlist a team of up to 5 different mystical/supernatural heroes (including Strange) in a story-driven narrative based on choices made, each having a different set of events that affect the rest of the story in unique ways. In the game's opening, you have the option of selecting either Blade or Ghost Rider from a pair of pictures handed to you by Nick Fury, those being the first and last recruits dependent on your selection. Either character then has the choice of recruiting 1 of 2 different characters after finding their location by foot in an open-world setting after jumping into their campaign, followed by a choice of up to 3 different locations on a grid as Dr. Strange.

Teams of up to 5 can freely roam each area, either together or after splitting up. New areas and trophies/challenges can be unlocked, each containing a different set of foes and bosses, by completing side-missions. Each character has unique abilities and weapons (including a character-specific Special Ability) which can be crossed over in an assist using a complex, camera-centric combat system, such as sorcery, magic, rider powers (Ghost Rider), telekinesis and stylized, panoramic combat and swordsmanship with Blade, who also has an accompanying Blood Lust meter which gradually increases his stamina with chained combo hits. Additionally, Blade can replenish portions of his health by simply drinking the blood of his foes, even do so after launching them high off the ground, which similarly fuels his BLM.

In addition, many iconic locations from the character-featured films and comics, such as the nightclubs and vampire houses from the Blade movie and TV/anime series, are featured alongside new environments in the game. Sorcerer characters can learn new spells/elemental attacks from various books, such as the Darkhold. Characters can also be leveled up individually by gaining XP, either by completing side missions or slaying enemies.
