Interdimensional Heroes
We start from the story, set after the events of the first chapter: Kang the conqueror decides to travel through size and time, conquering the most famous places of each universe and then bringing them together to one place, Chronopolis. So, our superheroes come together to have to fight Kang to stop his plan, which includes not only domination over Chronopolis but the entire universe.
This rocambolesque narrative premise has allowed the TT Games to bring on screen heroes from different Marvel narrative universes: we will find, for example, in front of Spider-man 2099 and Spider-Gwen, originally coming from the parallel dimensions of the Marvel multiverse.
Along with the best-known heroes we will also find more unusual characters such as Howard the Papero, and even lesser-known versions of famous heroes, such as the Tony Stark / Iron Man variant of Wild West. We also could see at least one completely new character, however, we will not reveal the identity: we want to let you find the surprise to find it alone, telling you that you will meet him as a boss for the first time before you can make him a playable character.
The variety of characters echoes the variety of settings: in the game we can visit different locations in the Marvel universe, including Lemuria, Wakanda, Asgard, Nueva York and more.
By the technical aspect, the work on Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 appeared more cautious than we saw on The Lego Ninjago Movie Videogame : although the visual aspect remained the same, with no particular step forward, we noticed less frame rate drops: we hope that this will not change even in the most cramped situations and that developers have finally managed to solve this problem that has always afflicted the Lego series.
Walking in time at Chronopolis
As we have said, Kang has gathered in Chronopolis many cities from different places of space and time, and it is in Chronopolis that we will move: the city, with all its areas, will become a fully explored hub like in a classic open-world, and here we can find many activities, such as collecting items, optional challenges and missions to complete that will bring us within the classic Lego games levels.
The developer’s intent is to create a truly vibrant city, always moving like a giant machine. Unfortunately, we could not ascertain the goodness of their intentions, because in our brief trial we could only play a clash with a boss.
From the presentation that has been shown to us, though, we can say that the one who played the first chapter will find a familiar ground in the open-world sections: we can shoot in the heavens with Spider-Man sparrows, we can dive into the waters of Lemuria with Thor, and so on: the fourteen zones that make up Chronopolis built by Kang will be explored in complete freedom and we can move from one area to another as desired.
Each location will have missions dropped in the context of the site, and we will have to solve cramped situations, such as doing as a referee in a racing contest. the fourteen areas that make up Chronopolis built by Kang will be explored in complete freedom and we can move from one area to another as desired.
