Other than that, Midnight Suns' DLC offering is ultimately so poor that it actually dilutes the game.

Each character has a full relationship tree complete with tons of dialogue and little narrative events-as personalities, they're completely made to feel like proper members of the crew, even if their limp decks don't back it up in battle.

The only credit I can give is that the new characters are at least well served in the superhero friendship simulator portion of the game. It just means the near-perfect core strategy experience is now peppered with a load of confusingly awful, out of place missions. Out of order, they're confusing in order, they feel directionless. Because the DLCs can be bought separately, each set of missions has to be able to stand alone to some extent-but the result is the story begins in the Deadpool pack and then just meanders around going nowhere through all the others until you unlock the final confrontation at the end of Storm's pack. The story itself is fine-a tale of vampires creating a new breed of their kind and trying to eliminate their classic weaknesses-but it's hamstrung by an attempt to make it easy to parse no matter what order you play it in. Her secret master (who I won't spoil here) is a little more interesting, but shows up much more rarely and still manages to outstay his welcome. In a game full of wonderfully engaging, intricate boss battles against classic villains, she sticks out like an unfinished thumb. You end up fighting Nazi vampire Sin about four or five times, and every time she has the exact same mechanics: she does a basic damage attack twice on her turn, and if you hit her, it taunts her allies onto you. Almost all of the missions just involve mindlessly killing vamps-at best, you sometimes have to kill certain ones before others.
