Become the hero of the Galaxy

Marvel’s Guardian of the Galaxy is an action-adventure game developed by Eidos-Montreal and published by Square Enix. Based on the Marvel comic book of the same name, this game will have you save the galaxy from one chaos to the next. Here, you are a Star-Lord tasked to lead the unpredictable band of Guardians as you complete your missions.

Guardian of the Galaxy features a bold third-person narrative adventure with an original story. It combines storytelling with combat. Note, however, that it is only a single-player game. Sure, you have a team, but you can only play as the Star-Lord.

What is the game about?

Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is a narrative game that is a spin-off of the popular comic book of the same name. As mentioned, it features a new story that will take players on a riotous journey across the stars. Here, a group of unlikely heroes is formed as the new Guardian of the Galaxy. They will band together and fight off the upcoming total interplanetary meltdown.

You will play Peter Quill, also known as the Star-Lord. As the leader of the Guardians, nothing is off-limits with your bold combat style. You can utilize a wide range of powerful attacks, from Element Blasters and jet boot-powered dropkicks to tag-team beat-downs. You also call the shots on your team’s attacks during combat. Note, however, that your decisions can affect your journey, from light-hearted to downright unexpected.

Users should also note that the game is solely a single-player campaign. While there is a team of heroes involved, you can only play as the Star-Lord. The rest of the members are not directly playable and are only controlled by artificial intelligence. You can issue commands and make decisions via dialogue trees, but you cannot control them directly. Moreover, despite the branching paths, the game has only one ending.

Should you download it?

If you are a fan of the popular Marvel comics, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy is for you. Here, you can have your adventure across the stars with your team of unlikely heroes. Not only that, but the game also features titular characters you’ve known from the franchise. The lack of a multiplayer campaign and choice of playable characters is a bummer. Nevertheless, it is a great game.
