Marvel Strike Force has bounced back nicely from backlash from the community from last month, as it is steadily in the top #30 selling iOS apps based off thinkgaming since then. They look to continue this upswing with its latest update, which brings the classic web-swinger archrival, Venom, to the fray!
Marvel Strike Force is a turn-based Role-Playing Game developed by FoxNext (in conjunction with Marvel Entertainment), where players must bring together a team of up to 5 characters, mixed with the strongest heroes or villains, as they battle their way through various game modes, collecting new allies along the way.
He isn't the only one being introduced though, as they look to grow their newly introduced 'Mutant' trait, by bringing in Mystique sometime in the near future post this update. She is the 5th Mutant added to the mix; she joins Wolverine, Cable, Deadpool, and Storm.
Venom will be featured in his very own special campaign to unlock him, which will require 'Cosmic' characters, such as Star-Lord or other 'Guardians' characters, or through Alliance raids, where players work together to battle past milestones in order to unlock Venom together.
Both special campaigns look to at least last for two weeks.
Venom's skills look to bring his Symbiote to life as he can use it to attack multiple enemies with his skills, as well as blocking abilities with a devastating blow. Here are his official attacks:
-
Maul - Attacks primary target for % damage. Cannot be dodged.
-
Violate (5 Energy)- Attack primary target for % damage and apply Ability Block.
-
Corruption (6 Energy) - Attack primary target for % damage and adjacent targets for less %. Apply Heal Block to all attacked.
-
Symbiosis (Passive) - On turn, % chance to heal self for %. Gain 100% Focus if Spider-Man is present.
