Beat the Ultron boss battle last night, but didn't have much time to play beyond that. It was all about being patient and methodical. Although, it was definitely a situation where I would have benefited from co-op. There were times I wanted to say to the three CPU teammates, "hey, dudes, we've done this battle a few times now. You know the pattern of those laser beams. How are you still walking into them?"
And this Ultron hurdle did bring to light my one real complaint about the game: while it's constantly throwing new characters at you, it doesn't do a great job at encouraging you to experiment with them. Given that any characters not currently in your party don't share experience, it means that at some point you get in a spot where you either need to stick with your leveled up ones in order to feel like you're scaled, or else you're using a bunch of un-leveled characters. I suppose that using those augment ISO8 things can help, or you could technically throw one low-level into the team with three high levels, but that definitely makes boss battles much more frustrating. I guess I could technically go back and replay levels to grind. If I felt like grinding. Which I don't right now, as it'll sort of kill the momentum of this rollercoaster.
Anyway, it's just annoying because I was enjoying constantly swapping out party members to experiment with different teams, but now I'm starting to feel like I need to mostly stick to one lineup. Scarlet Witch and Spider-Gwen are my two for-sure keepers. And it kind of sucks because I never bothered to level up Iron Man, Thor, Hulk or Captain America so now they're super under-leveled. Oh well.
Complaints aside, I think this is a fantastic game.
