Some games disappear long before people are ready to forget them. Marvel: Avengers Alliance 2 was one of those short-lived superhero RPGs that deserved more time. Its offline Android version brings the old squad battles back into reach, letting players assemble familiar Marvel characters and work through turn-based encounters without relying on the original online service.
Throwing three heroes into a fight sounds simple until enemy abilities start ruining your plans. Choosing who attacks first, keeping a wounded teammate alive, and finding useful combinations between character skills give the combat its bite. The 3D animations still have their charm, especially when a carefully arranged team finally brings down a troublesome villain.
