As you make your way through the game, you'll encounter new characters from the comics (and TV show). Each character has slightly different weapons and abilities, so it's a good idea to pay attention to the combinations that you choose.

Before you start

Even though the game isn't overly complex, it does have quite a few controls. Thus, it might be a good idea to check out the quick tutorial before you start playing.

With the game's axonometric perspective, you can zoom in and rotate around to get different views of the action.

What exactly is going on here?

Because the many onscreen elements can crowd the screen, it can sometimes be difficult to see who's attacking whom. With that in mind, you might want to try playing on a tablet instead of a smartphone.
