Formerly available just for iOS and Facebook users, Avengers Alliance launched on Thursdayvia Google Play. The game signs you up as a new SHIELD agent ready to spy and fight on behalf of Nick Fury. But before you can even complete your training, your first mission arises.
From that point on, you have to recruit superheroes from Marvel's massive lineup to help you vanquish the forces of Hydra as well as such supervillains as Loki and Dr. Doom. As expected, each mission gets more difficult as you're forced to face more fiercesome threats. But along the way you can tap into an arsenal of different weapons and replenish those heroes whose power has weakened.
Avengers Alliance is not your standard fast-paced shoot-em-up, punch-em-out game. Instead, it proceeds more slowly and methodically as you have to decide which missions to take, how to best use your team's resources, and when to call in the superpowered cavalry. At times, the game also directs you on what to do and where to go so that you're not totally in the dark.
Marvel fans should enjoy the chance to see their favorite heroes in action. And since the game is free, it's certainly worth taking out for a spin.
