Great Comic Based Games (lemmy.today)

submitted 6 days ago by [email protected] to c/retrogaming

I'm seeing family over the holidays and they really enjoy comic book stuff and video games. I don't know much about comics and am looking for suggestions on classic comic book based games I can load on my RPi and bring over to play. All I'm aware of are some of the Marvel vs Capcom fighting games but maybe there are others. Any ideas?

Some non-licensed stuff:

Somebody gotta mention Comix Zone for the Sega Genesis.

Freedom Force is a turn based strategy game fromi think the early 2000’s that was heavily inspired by old school comics as well.

Never heard of either of those. I'm definitely interested in a turned based game!

Careful, it’s pricey!

(J/k, it’s on sale for $1.24)

I misremembered and apparently it’s not strictly turn-based strategy, but it’s some kind of hybrid tactical thing. Definitely not an RTS or beat-em-up. Very well loved in its day.

How have I not heard of Freedom Force? That's a pickup for me ASAP. Thanks! 👍

Happy to share! It’s from a legendary team that made games like Thief and System Shock 1&2, the predecessor to Bioshock. Phenomenal pedigree.
