Today, we’re diving into the gameplay of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy and giving you an in-depth look at how you lead the Guardians as Star-Lord throughout the adventure. First, take a look at our combat-focused video:
The Guardians have unique roles and abilities, and the combat is all about using each of their strengths, as well as Star-Lord's, to defeat enemies with efficiency and style.
- Rocket is the explosive specialist, great at taking out multiple enemies at once with this grenades and guns.
- Groot is the protector of the group. His vines canimmobilize adversaries, setting up the team for powerful attacks. He can also bring back fallen team members if you flark things up.
- Drax is literally a wrecking ball, he's the best at inflicting stagger damage and stunning enemies.
- Gamora takes out enemies with finesse and fury. She dishes out massive health damage with deadly single target attacks.
- Finally, Star-Lord is the leader with the versatile combat style: thanks to his jet boots, you can cut across the battlefield or get a bird’s eye view, letting you strategize your next move. His elemental blasters will let you take on enemies in melee or from afar. And the best thing about them? As you’ll progress in the game, you will unlock new elements, each with unique advantages.
During combat, combine all of the Guardians’ abilities and create devastating combos to take down the wide range of cosmic enemies you’ll face: humanoids, creatures, monsters, robots and more. Some of them are boss fights!
Next, check out how you’ll lead the Guardians outside of combat: whether you’re abaord the Milano, exploring planets and locales, or simply customizing your team.
