Most Popular Superhero Video Games

-

It’s fair to say that we’re living in an era ripe with uncertainty and conflict. We live our daily lives under siege; poverty, disease, environmental disasters and dodgy world leaders dominate the headlines. It’s not surprising, therefore, that we flock en masse to the cinema whenever a new superhero movie lands on the silver screen. We all secretly, or not so secretly, wish for a real-life superhero to come and save the day – to right all the wrongs and make the world a better place. We know (don’t we?) that superheroes aren’t real, so we make do by suspending disbelief for a few short hours in the darkness of a movie theatre. 

We fly through the air with Superman, leap from building to building with Spiderman and prowl through the midnight streets with Batman. We all wish we were as heroic (and as rich) as Iron Man, and we all aspire to be as incorruptible and as brave as Captain America. The closest we can come to emulating our heroes, other than dressing up in a costume and going full-scale vigilante, is by taking on their personas in a video game. Superhero video games have undergone somewhat of a renaissance of late. The games have been vastly improved in the last few years, and no matter your choice of gaming format, you’re sure to find your favourite superhero on the small screen. In this article, we’re going to take a look as some of the most popular superhero video games on the market. So, put on your mask and cape and let’s play.

Find Superhero Games at Slot Sites

There was a time when Marvel’s superheroes dominate the slot game genre of video games. But that changed in 2017 when Disney pulled the plug on their licencing to Playtech. The DC universe stepped in to take their place, and it has to be said that the DC superheroes are worthy replacements, some might say that the DC games are even better than their Marvel predecessors. If you want to immerse yourself in the world of superheroes while at the same time enjoy the opportunity to potentially win a life-changing sum of money, superhero slot games are the games for you. Legitimate, unbiased review sites are the best place to find reviews of all the best superhero slot games and all of the best slot sites that offer them. But to get you started, we’ll point you in the direction of the Justice League Comic slot (Playtech), the Suicide Squad slot (Playtech), and Hellboy slot (Microgaming). 

Gaming Console Superhero Games

Xbox, PS3, PS4, Game Cube and Wii all have their fair share of amazing superhero games. That’s not to say that there aren’t a few duds out there, but don’t worry, we’ll help you steer clear of them by giving you some great suggestions of which games are worth your time. Rocksteady’s Batman series rate highly on our list of most popular superhero video games. Batman: Arkham Knight, Batman: Arkham Asylum and Batman: Arkham City were game changers for the superhero genre of video games, and each instalment is better than the one before. This game embraces the dark and brooding vibe of Christopher Nolan’s gritty Dark Knight franchise. The game mechanics and graphics combine to create a gaming experience that will blow mind and inspire a new-found respect for game designers. 

The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction is another game that you definitely don’t want to miss. If you’ve ever wanted to go on a Hulk-style rampage, then this is the game that will help you get all that rage out of your system. In the role of Hulk, you’ll get the satisfaction of smashing and destroying anything that gets in your way as you power through the city streets. Marvel fans should also check out Marvel Ultimate Alliance. This awesome game allows you to create a team of all your favourite Marvel heroes, and as a team you’ll journey through the Marvel universe, fighting formidable foes as you go. 

If you’re a Mortal Kombat fan, then Injustice 2 is the game for you. In this game, you get to take on the role of one of your favourite DC comic book characters. The team behind Mortal Kombat have taken all their collective experience and expertise and channelled it into creating one of the best hand-to-hand fighting games on the market. The game mechanics make the fighting feel so much more real and satisfying than ever before, the storyline has been enhanced and given more importance, and the graphics are eye-popping. 

PC Superhero Games 

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes is a superhero video game that doesn’t take it self too seriously while still packing a punch gaming-wise. Your favourite Marvel superheroes, including Spider-Man, Black Widow, Wolverine and Thor have all been given the LEGO make over, and thanks to the cinematic-style graphics and brilliant design, they look amazing. Once again, this is a game that will have you and your superhero counterparts pulling together as a team, in true Avengers style, in order to save the day. And you’ll have a whole lot of fun doing it. 

Fans of Puzzle Quest should look out for Marvel Puzzle Quest; an RPG, match-3 game (match 3 tiles to inflict damage during combat). The storyline centres on the Green Goblin (Norman Osborn) and his plan to take over SHIELD. It’s your job to stop that from happening. You’ll be able to team up with other players, complete daily challenges and unlock missions along the way. 

Other unmissable PC games that feature DC characters include Injustice: Gods Among Us, Batman: The Telltale Series and Injustice 2. And Marvel fans should definitely look out for Marvel Pinball, Marvel Strike Force and Marvel Future Fight. We can almost guarantee that you’ll have a good time playing any one of the games we’ve highlighted, but it always comes down to personal preference. If in doubt, follow your favourite superhero.
