Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a third-person action shooter developed by Rocksteady Studios for PC. Players take control of infamous villains tasked with eliminating the Justice League in an open-world version of Metropolis under siege.
Gameplay
The core loop centers on fluid movement through the city combined with character-specific combat. Each squad member brings distinct traversal tools and fighting styles. Harley Quinn relies on agile melee strikes and a grapple line for quick repositioning. Deadshot focuses on precise firearms and aerial maneuvers. Captain Boomerang uses his signature weapon for both ranged attacks and rapid dashes. King Shark emphasizes heavy melee and powerful charges. Later additions expand these options with unique abilities tied to the Joker, Mrs. Freeze, Lawless, and Deathstroke.
Combat blends gunplay and melee in third-person view, encouraging players to switch weapons and abilities mid-fight. A skill tree system lets players customize builds and respec points freely to test different approaches. Exploration rewards verticality, with traversal mechanics allowing free movement across rooftops, streets, and interiors in the dynamic open world. Enemies include corrupted heroes and Brainiac forces, requiring adaptation to varied attack patterns and environmental hazards.
Game Modes
The game supports solo play with AI-controlled squad mates that players can swap between outside of combat. The same campaign and activities are available in four-player online co-op, where each participant controls a different character. The main story campaign unfolds through missions set in Metropolis, focusing on direct confrontations and objectives against the Justice League members.
Post-campaign content revolves around repeatable activities. Incursion missions send players into alternate versions of the city for loot and progression. Mayhem missions serve as high-difficulty rematches against key bosses, scaled by mastery levels that increase challenge and rewards. These systems tie into seasonal updates that introduced new characters and locations over four seasons, culminating in an offline mode that allows the full campaign and all seasonal content to run without an internet connection.
Characters and Progression
Eight playable characters form the roster, each with dedicated move sets and personality-driven dialogue during missions. Progression tracks through ranks earned by completing objectives, unlocking new skills and gear. Players experiment with loadouts across the squad, adapting to different mission types and enemy compositions. The open-world design encourages repeated visits to strongholds and side activities that feed into the main progression loop.
Is It Worth Playing?
The game delivers a complete single-player campaign with strong narrative focus on the Suicide Squad's mission against the Justice League. Gameplay emphasizes satisfying character variety and traversal that sets it apart from standard shooters. Mixed reception highlights praise for the story and moment-to-moment combat while noting repetition in endgame activities.
With support concluded after the final seasonal update and offline mode now included, the experience stands as a self-contained package. It suits players who enjoy third-person action shooters with co-op options and comic-book settings. Those seeking ongoing live-service updates may find the current state less appealing, while fans of the core loop and character roster can access everything without additional requirements. The Digital Deluxe Edition on PC provides the full roster and content in one package.
