DC’s Justice League: Cosmic Chaos Review

thesixthaxis.com:

DC Justice League Cosmic Chaos is a fun change of pace when it comes to the superhero genre, with a more cartoony and silly approach compared to some of the more serious superhero games we have seen over recent years. The main villain isn’t trying to destroy or take over the world, his only goal is to annoy Superman. However, the way he does this upends the lives of the residents of Happy Harbor.

DC Justice League Cosmic Chaos focuses on lesser known villain Mister Mxyzptlk (Mxy for short), a being from the Fifth Dimension, who arrives in Happy Harbor to declare himself Mayor. He has an ally with him in Starro The Conqueror, though it’s a very small Starro. Of course, the Justice League is not going to just let Mxy stroll in and take control, but the battle is quickly over, with some of the League brought under Starro’s control. That leaves Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman to clear up Mxy’s mess.

Happy Harbor is an open world environment to explore, but it is not too big. Each area of the world has different levelled enemies, keeping some areas off limits until your heroes are suitably levelled up. There are plenty of ways to traverse the world with Wonder Woman using her Lasso of Truth to swing around the world, Batman’s cape to glide glide, and Superman just outright flying. You can also use vehicles like cars and boats, but Superman’s flying is the best way to get around Happy Harbor.

You can switch between the three characters instantly at any time you want. The missions mainly consist of fighting enemies in various dungeons to collect items, before facing off against the villain that is linked to those dungeons like, for example, Blue Snowman. Each dungeon type has its own hazards to deal with, such as Blue Snow
