Midnight Suns’ Iron Man Gameplay Video Explains How It Gamifies His Arrogance

Iron Man is one of the many characters in , one Firaxis Games revealed quite early on. But the team is only now starting to break down each of these heroes, detailing what their strengths and weaknesses are in a new gameplay showcase series. After an inaugural episode centered around Captain America, the newly released second breakdown is purely focused on Tony Stark and his gigantic arsenal.

Iron Man focuses on the game’s redraw system, which subs out a card in the player’s hand for another one in their deck. He can use redraws for his own personal gain and also create synergies by himself for himself. These traits fit in with his character, as he is often known for being selfish or arrogant. Juggling redraws and what to do with them gives the game even more layers of strategy that are specific to Iron Man. Players might want to spend redraws buffing Iron Man, but they’ll have to juggle that with supporting their other cards that may also rely heavily on redraws and similar resources.

He was also described as a jack of all trades that can also master those trades, too, since he appears to have many abilities to deal with all sorts of situations. Some of his weapons can hit multiple foes and do a ton of damage if players play their literal cards right. For example, his Surgical Strike ability can chain to a number of enemies that is based on how many Iron Man cards the player has in their hand. So if users have five Iron Man cards on deck, they can chain Surgical Strike to five enemies and cause a ton of havoc. The video also goes into some of his other explosive abilities, explaining the pros and cons of each base card as well as their upgraded versions.

Firaxis lightly teased the next gameplay showcase, but didn’t give
