Rocksteady's Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has faced criticism for its recent launch of the first season featuring the Joker. Fans were eagerly anticipating the introduction of a new activity called 'Strongholds,' which was teased as a potential endgame content addition to the game.
Promotional materials hinted at the inclusion of Strongholds as part of the new season, leading players to believe that it would offer a fresh gameplay experience. However, upon the season's release, players were disappointed to discover that Strongholds were not the anticipated new mission type but rather rebranded versions of existing open-world missions involving anti-aircraft guns and bomb buses.
Despite the initial confusion, Rocksteady confirmed on Discord that these one-off missions were indeed the Strongholds that had been promised. This revelation left many players feeling misled and disappointed by the lack of substantial new content in the season.
Looking ahead to Episode 2 of the season, players can expect a reprised Superman Braniac boss fight, new gear, infused enemy types, and 'an ever-changing Metropolis.' However, there appears to be a notable absence of story content related to the Joker, further adding to the frustration of fans who were expecting a more substantial narrative experience.
Overall, the handling of the Strongholds feature in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League's first season has left players questioning the direction of the game and feeling let down by the lack of meaningful additions. As the community eagerly awaits further updates and content releases, the disappointment surrounding the current season remains palpable.
