The action MMO Marvel Heroes 2015 is taking another step towards the MMO genre: It introduces a success system like World of Warcraft.
Success systems have been a trend in gaming for some time now, and they are spreading further and have even reached the economy as “Gamification”: Complete certain, sometimes somewhat arbitrary goals, which sometimes lie outside the “main plot”, and you will be rewarded for it. Now, the superhero brawler Marvel Heroes is also jumping on the “success” train. Over 11,000 points are to be earned, with 10 different categories. In short: A lot of AVs, goals, and entertainment for players who enjoy such things.
The achievements are not just for show, they also reflect in titles. There are rewards for certain achievements, and they have really come up with something and do not just want a mere skeleton in the game, but want to add substance. According to their statements, they have taken a “classic success system” and combined it with a “mission system”, which then comes with clear rewards.
At the moment, a lot is centered around the current movie “Age of Ultron” in Marvel Heroes 2015. The new hero “The Vision” is an important factor there. Here is the trailer.
