As if conquering Facebook and iOS is not enough, Marvel: Avengers Alliance is now made available for Android. I’ve wasted months and months of my time obsessively playing the game on its Facebook release, and now that it’s available on Android, I find myself being drawn in again. Damn you, Marvel!
For those who have never played the game before, Marvel: Avengers Alliance is a turn-based RPG game where as a newly recruited S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, you work with at least 30 Marvel superheroes to fight with over 180 villains. A lot of your favorite heroes are present (Ironman, Storm, Wolverine, the whole shebang) and ready to fight beside you and beat up those baddies!
You can bring up to two superheroes on missions which, including you, makes a total party for three. Try not to feel weak and insignificant with your feeble agent standing next to the awesome heroes that you chose. Your agents will have it’s chance to be as strong as them in the middle to the later parts of the game.
Superheroes you’ve unlocked also level up as you do. Though you can only bring two heroes on missions, you can send vacant heroes on side missions (done on fixed times ranging from 3 minutes to 24 hrs) so that they can get experience and coins as well.
Marvel: Avengers Alliance implements different fighting styles for every character in the game, thus providing a complex gameplay. As each fighting style (Blaster, Bruiser, Scrapper, Infiltrator, Tactician) is strong against one style and weak against another, there is basically no ultimate hero that can carry your team, which means proper planning and teamwork is very important to win in the game.

Graphics: Good
Even with using 2D graphics, the details and intensity of the visuals still provide a Marvel feel to the game. The characters are well designed and look just the way you expected them to look. The fight animations and special effects are crisp and powerful.
Sound: Average
The music is good enough to make you feel like you’re watching a movie. It’s painful indeed to watch it be ruined by mediocre to bad sound effects. The blasters, gunshots, punches, and any sound effects done while fighting sounds so cheap at times and hearing them over and over again every fight can get very annoying and tiring.
Gameplay:Good
As the game follows an Energy Meter system, you can only continue playing as far as your energy can give you. Once it depletes, you either wait for it to regenerate back, or if you have cash to shell out, buy it back up. For those who are not willing to spend for this game, then this game will definitely test your patience. That patience will be well paid though as the gameplay offers a lot of challenges with its implemented fighting styles that require you to keep rotating your heroes to have an edge over a fight instead of just keeping your two most favorite ones all the time.
I found myself addicted to this game way back on its Facebook version. I might find myself ending up the same way on it’s Android version as well.

Cons: Annoying sound effects. Lots of waiting involved.
