That’s not to mention the character customiser, which also lets you build your own superhero, including assigning them powers. Along with cinematic regulars such as the Guardians of the Galaxy, Iron Man and Captain America, there are a lot of lesser-knowns from Marvel’s earlier days, including Arizona Annie, Chipmunk Hunk, and Forbush Man to name but a few. There’s dozens of characters to unlock too. It’s incredibly varied, keeping the scenarios and locales feeling fresh. Familiar Marvel locales, such as Wakanda and Hell’s Kitchen (dubbed New York Noir), are mixed with the Old West, an Egyptian land and Medieval England. It retains that silly, tongue-in-cheek quirk many love the Lego games for.Įverything takes place in Kang’s creation called Chronopolis, an amalgamation of several cities from multiple time periods. Not only is his delusional grandeur hilarious, but his time-powers make for a wide spread of settings and characters, creating a lot of chances for fun and humour.
It has to be said that Kang’s presence, voiced by Peter Serafinowicz, really adds to the story. It’s up to the superheroes both from the past and the present to unite against this impending threat. Things open with us witnessing the heroes of the first game celebrating their victory, until the universe of superheroes is thrown into complete disarray when Kang the Conqueror invades, splicing together multiple fragments of time and space into one whole. But does it add up to another brick-built hit? LMSH2 represents some of the most obscure ends of the long-running comics-brand to date, pulling from the likes of Black Knight to Kid Colt. With the mammoth success of MCU films, it seemed inevitable that the world of Marvel and Lego would snap together again after 2013’s Lego Marvel Super Heroes (outside of the tepid Avengers tie-in in 2015).
