How to Play the Avengers Campaign: Expert Guide to Reassemble
As a long-time Marvel gamer and content creator focused on everything superheroes, I‘ve assembled this comprehensive guide on how to play the Avengers campaign. From story and mission overviews, to gameplay tips, to next-gen enhancements – read on for the ultimate Reassemble walkthrough!
Introducing Reassemble: The Core Avengers Campaign
Reassemble serves as the main single player introduction campaign in Marvel‘s Avengers, directly picking up after the disastrous events of A-Day depicted in the opening of the game.
You take control of the eager young Inhuman fan of the Avengers, Kamala Khan aka Ms. Marvel, on a quest to re-unite her disbanded heroes including:
- Tony Stark‘s Iron Man
- The thunder god Thor
- Brilliant scientist Bruce Banner and his big green alter-ego the Hulk
- Expert spy and assassin Black Widow
- World War II legend Captain America himself
Over the course of around 15 core storyline missions plus additional optional content like iconic mission chains for each hero, you‘ll work to rebuild your Avengers roster while uncovering the secrets behind the earth-shattering Terrigen reactor accident.
Facing off against classic Avengers villains like Taskmaster and M.O.D.O.K. along with new threats like the shadowy corporation AIM, the Reassemble campaign provides a contained superhero action extravaganza welcoming both Marvel fans and newcomers alike.
Diving Into Epic Hero Missions
A key highlight is the ability to directly step into the boots (and repulsor rocket boots, and mythical hammer…well, you get the idea) of your favorite Avengers. I‘d estimate 3-4 dedicated missions per hero:
| Hero | Missions |
|---|---|
| Ms. Marvel | A Day in Heart of the Avengers, To Stand Alone, Testing… 1, 2, 3 |
| Iron Man | Stark Realities, Breakout, Family Reunion |
| Hulk | Along came a Spider, Mayhem over Manhattan |
| Thor | Once an Avenger |
| Black Widow | By Force of Mind, Tundra |
| Captain America | Front Line, Task at Hand |
These showcase awesome set pieces like thor thwarting an AIM break-in at the Resistance outpost, Iron Man dogfighting drones amidst the Utah badlands, or Hulk‘s smash-happy romp through city streets.
Early criticism I‘ve seen dismissed these as short combat gauntlets, but there‘s a solid amount of optional narrative content and Easter eggs/collectibles providing plenty of depth and fun for fans of each hero even on repeated playthroughs.
Customize Your Heroes: Gear, Skills, and Build Crafting
A looter-shooter experience at its core, Avengers rewards experimenting to unlock your heroes‘ true potential via its gear system…
Some key tips:
- Keep pushing gear level to max out stats
- Prioritize perks matching your preferred playstyle (melee vs. ranged, etc)
- Exotics are rare but provide game-changing effects
- Resources allow rerolling perks for min/maxing
Layered on top is a skill customization system. With experience from playing missions, you unlock tokens to purchase new combos, massive signature attacks, defensive abilities, traversal moves, and support bonuses down three distinct trees per hero.
My advice:
| Hero | Recommended Skills |
|---|---|
| Ms. Marvel | Embiggen support, High Five heavy combo |
| Iron Man | Laser Specialization, Repulsor Rapid Fire |
| Hulk | Base damage skills like Thunderclap |
| Thor | Godblast hammer throw, Warrior‘s Fury |
| Black Widow | Invisibility, Pistol Master |
| Captain America | Steamroller assault, Brooklyn Brawler |
This amount of build crafting empowers you to play your ultimate version of Earth‘s Mightiest Heroes!
The Verdict: Fantastic Intro, Room for Growth in Endgame
Review aggregate sites like Metacritic show critics scoring the Reassemble campaign around a 75/100, while user reviews sit higher at an 8.3/10.
Having played through the full experience multiple times now both solo and in co-op, I agree the self-contained narrative campaign delivers as an enjoyable romp through signature Marvel set pieces.
Kamala Khan‘s fangirl energy provides an infectious emotional core, the writing and performances capture that Avengers charm perfectly, and the variety of playable heroes checked all my fanboy boxes.
The gears only start to grind in the post-campaign endgame content, as many have noted feeling the repetitive mission design in the expanded Avengers Initiative mode. But taken solely as an introduction to stepping into the shoes of these icons Reassemble absolutely delivers.
And with substantial campaign expansions featuring new story content, missions, and most importantly heroes in Kate Bishop, Black Panther, Spider-Man, and likely more upcoming…fans can Reassemble for exciting new adventures for years to come!
