Suit up, true believers. This is the Facebook game you’ve been waiting for.
I’ve bought the comic books, I’ve seen the movies, I’ve even collected the toys – but try as I might, I could never be a superhero. Even after I was bitten by that radioactive marmoset, I wasn’t a superhero. Sure I could deftly scale buildings and use my ringed tail to grab on to trees and snare villains, but at the end of the day, there was one thing I was missing: other superheroes as friends. That’s where Marvel: Avengers Alliance comes in.
The latest roleplaying game on Facebook from Playdom, Marvel: Avengers Alliance puts players in the role of a young upstart agent in S.H.I.E.L.D., the Marvel Universe’s covert operations agency staffed by regular humans, but often tangled up in the affairs of the superhuman community. After a brief training mission, you’re sent to the field to help the likes of Iron Man, Black Widow, and Hawkeye as they begin their investigation into a mysterious new substance known as ISO-8 that is giving even the most basic thugs the strength they need to go toe-to-toe with the likes of The Avengers. And just like that, you’ve made the superhero friends that my real life crime-fighting alter ego never could.
