Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order is an adrenaline fueled button masher that calls back to its early-2000’s predecessors with great gameplay and awesome visuals. Barring the occasional frame rate dips, this game is great on the go or on your TV at home.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order redefines the “button masher” genre with complexity, whilst remaining simplistic enough for the average joe, and
It’s still hard to believe that after a decade of waiting we finally got another Marvel Ultimate Alliance, funded and published by Nintendo no less. The original Ultimate Alliance and X-Men Legends games were notable for their large playable rosters, frantic co-op action, and some lite Diablo-esque RPG elements sprinkled on top. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order takes this all to the next level with a much bigger roster, faster and more varied action, and even more RPG customizat...
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 is a more-than-solid release that will interest most Switch owners. While some fans of the original games might have gripes, it's still likely to be a solid choice.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order lets players hop into a galactic battle against Thanos. For a Marvel fan who enjoys RPG mechanics this is a fun buy, especially with others to play with. Some spotty online moments but well worth the fun.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order is the ultimate comic book power fantasy. From its empowering gameplay mechanics which evoke the heroism in the game’s iconic characters to its event comic-styled storyline and presentation, there is a lot for Marvel fans to enjoy here. While the moment to moment gameplay more than justifies the price of admission, when taking a step back, certain facets of the game’s inherent design knock it down a few pegs--but not enough to dissuade me from giving this game a solid recommendation for the comic fans in the room.
There are loads of Marvel video games and the latest features tons of awesome heroes so let's suit up and get ready to fight.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 is a solid beat-em-up that tops its predecessors, bringing all the colourful known and unknown facets of the Marvel universe together with gusto. But despite it’s strong art direction, potent replayability and often enjoyable combat, it still comes off as feeling rather basic.
The Marvel Ultimate Alliance series returns and harkens to superhero action RPG era of years past. Is the third, and most exclusive entry in the series a triumphant revival?
“Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 is delicious fan service, but it’s also shallow and repetitive.”
However, strong post-launch support like this only really matters if the game itself is worth playing, and we can't really say that about Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3. At its best, the game is a mediocre brawler, and at its worst, it is an incoherent mess with a nightmare camera, frustrating battles, and ugly graphics. Anyone hoping for a return to form for the franchise will be disappointed, to say the least.
When it was announced that this long-awaited next entry would be a Nintendo Switch exclusive, many were disappointed. This exclusivity was due to Nintendo being the publisher on the title, being responsible for bringing the series back. That said, while the portable nature of taking the game on the
