Open World Locations[]
- New York City: NYC is the Main Hub of the game. Here you can access multiple missions, side quests, and visit the following areas:
- Avengers Mansion: At the Avengers Mansion, you can check up on your personal inventory. You can check the leaderboards for minigames, customize your character's apperance, and even customize vehicles and game tags.
- S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier: The Helicarrier is a large transportation vehicle built by the Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Divison (S.H.I.E.L.D.). This large vessel acts as a second hub. Players can chat and meet up at the Helicarrier. "It acts as a sort of online lobby", says developer Alan Sharpe. The Helicarrier is also a place where you recieve S.H.I.E.L.D. Missions, customize and build Iron Man armors, and buy and sell inventory (such as weapons and loot).
- Asgard: Asgard is a large open sandbox area in the game. It contains the Bifrost, which is a major fasttravel station that allows you to travel anywhere in the game's universe.
Gameplay[]
Marvel: Vengeance of the Gods is a third-person action RPG. It involves a unique leveling up system centered around the use of skill points and skill trees. The player must invest and upgrade their character to progress and become stronger in the game. The game combines the quick, upgradable combat systems of games such as God of War and Devil May Cry, with a skill tree based character roster featuring over 100 characters from the Marvel Universe. Each character is customizable to the player's prefrence, while still retaining their iconic looks. VotG is an openworld sandbox, with multiple layers and levels that allow for unique methods of navigation and gameplay.
Loot[]
Every enemy you defeat his lootable, but the loot you retrieve depends on what character you're playing as. For instance, Iron Man might recieve tech resoureces to build Iron Man Armors, while Thor may recieve Asgardian armor pieces or relics to enhance his fightning. Any loot obtained in the environment can be taken back to the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier to be sold. There is also an online trading system that allows players to trade and bargain for different items. Loot is essential to the game, as it can buy your character specific upgrades and rewards that can't be purchased via a skill tree.
Environmental Interraction[]
VotG tries to be as realistic as possible. Any character can interract with the environment, but each character interracts in different ways. A character with super strength might destroy or throw a car, while a a character with no powers might not be able to do anything but drive in it. Most objects in the environment are interractable, with the exception of open world boundaries and buildings.
Online Interraction[]
VotG supports 4 Player Local Co-Op, while it supports unlimited online interraction. Players can choose to play single player and turn off their online access, allowing them to play and roam alone. The world will be equally inhabited with CPUs. The other option, however, will allow them to play online with multiple parties and multiple people. This will allow players to build their own clands and teams, which will be help them battle easily. Teams can also take on non-character specific side missions.
