According to its designers, Marvel's Midnight Suns draws inspiration from some unexpected games ... including Persona.
Marvel’s Midnight Suns is a new tactical RPG title from 2K and Firaxis games, starring some iconic heroes from the Marvel Comics universe. Despite bearing some resemblance to XCOM, it’s a bit of a genre mash-up. It has a deckbuilding component and even contains an interaction system that might remind you of Persona’s social links.
“Japanese RPGs have done relationships as a gamified system so well for a long time,” Weinhoffer tells Digital Trends. “It’s something we messed around with a little bit in the XCOM games, but never to this extent. So we looked to Fire Emblem and Persona for inspiration on how they gamify relationships in such a great way where it adds a new system to the experience.”
Going back to the beginning, Midnight Suns originally played a lot closer to XCOM — that was until the team realized the mold didn’t fit thematically for larger-than-life heroes. Solomon, Weinhoffer, and the rest of the team ditched that version and did a physical tabletop version of the game using Heroclix, an old board game that starred miniatures of Marvel heroes. It’s a reference that sent me back to my childhood, where I’d always see those little figures in my local comic shop.
“These are people with superpowers. They don’t need to worry about hiding and sneaking around and having more of that underdog approach,” Solomon says. “Cards are a universally understood and known mechanic,” Solomon says. “So we decided to represent these hero abilities as cards and just kind of get dealt a random set of abilities at the start of a turn. We quickly felt really good and excited about them as a design element because you can attach a lot of gameplay information about abilities to every card.
