History VideoGame / MidnightSuns

* DummiedOut: For reasons known only to the developers, the Hulk and only the Hulk is completely missing friendship levels. There is even data related to his likes and dislikes, but it doesn't matter since for some reason you can't ever be friends with him.

* DeusExMachina: [[spoiler: The "Godkiller" dagger, which is one of the only things capable of killing gods (duh)]] and was invented by Firaxis for this game, conveniently gets learned about just as the heroes have run out of ideas on how to defeat Lilith.

* LateCharacterSyndrome:[[spoiler:The Hulk/Bruce Banner]] joins the group late in the third act and, as a result, they receive no friendship levels or hangouts with Hunter. Instead, their ultimate ability and costume are unlocked by completing a particular research project.

* PostFinalBoss: [[spoiler: The "Phase 2" of the final boss. After being freed from Chthon's control, the Hunter has to team up with four of the remaining heroes to get rid of Chthon for good by setting up the four seals of the Elder Gods. Chthon himself is not fought during this, and instead the player must take down sets of [[EliteMooks Chthon-enhanced enemies]] to obtain the Seal cards.]]

** In the finale mission, [[spoiler: The team fights 'against' the Hunter starting with those they have the lowest friendship scores (as the Hulk has none, he is always part of that battle). When the Hunter is cured and the fight turns 'against' Chthon, the Hunter must perform a ritual with the four having the highest friendship scores.]]

* GameBreakingBug: The Venom DLC appears to have accidentally changed the order that card effects are resolved in. This is mostly a minor issue, meaning that certain cards don't properly apply all their effects when used, but it also renders a main story mission impossible to complete. [[spoiler:'The Witch of Wundagore Mountain' is supposed to end with you using the Scarlet Witch's 'No More' ultimate to suicide-bomb the otherwise-invincible Fallen Hulk. Problem is that with the changed effect order, No More knocks out Wanda before it knocks out the Hulk, meaning that using it instantly fails the mission instead.]]

* AntiAntIChrist: [[spoiler: Hunter is actually meant to be a host for Chthon entering the world, Chthon having obviously planned to betray Lilith from the beginning with an ExactWords DealWithTheDevil. Your collar is the only thing that can keep the Elder God at bay.]]

* LifeDrain: Some of Wolverine's cards having a life-stealing effect, which is meant to represent his famous HealingFactor. Blade can also do this using his vampiric powers.

* MainCharacterFinalBoss: For the final boss, [[spoiler:the custom main player character is possessed by the BigBad, forcing the player to control the remaining heroes to defeat them.]]

* YouCantThwartStageOne: Or stage two, three, or four. Despite individual mission wins, the heroes fail constantly at any significant attempt to thwart Lillith, with the tides only beginning to turn when you [[spoiler:purify the Fallen Scarlet Witch]]. Even then, you still mostly keep failing to thwart "the prophecy", with it being unclear whether [[spoiler:Cthon manifesting but then being defeated]] actually counts as averting the prophecy.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler: Crossbones has no qualms about massacring civilians, but apparently has a change of heart about the apocalypse just before the end. After battling him in Transia, he gives the heroes a USB drive with information on the critical weapon needed to defeat Lilith, right before his DisneyVillainDeath.]]

* TheBattleDidntCount: When you first fight [[spoiler: a corrupted Scarlet Witch]], you have to defeat them like any other opponent to progress the level. But then a cutscene shows your heroes [[CutsceneIncompetence getting tossed around like Sunday salad]] and having to flee.

** In the stinger, [[spoiler: Dr. Doom reveals that he was working on his own scheme the entire time, when he collects the Darkhold and jokes that the others are "amateurs."]] There are very few hints about this in the base game, but in the DLC chapters [[spoiler: Deadpool outright states that Dr. Doom is on the trail of infernal artifacts and hired him to steal from Sin.]]

** The Hunter's battle dialogue in the finale is unchanged, [[spoiler: even after Lillith is mortally wounded and revealed as no longer the threat. The Hunter will continue saying things like "Lillith must really want me gone."]]

** Spider-Man talks about an argument between Tony and Carol on the topic of precognition superpowers and whether they should punish people shown committing crimes in the future, referencing their opposing ideologies in ''ComicBook/CivilWarII''.

* ComicBook/Wolverine

It was released on UsefulNotes/PlayStation4, UsefulNotes/PlayStation5, UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows, UsefulNotes/XboxOne, and UsefulNotes/XboxSeriesXAndS on December 2, 2022.

** An event can occur in the abbey where you can find Spider-Man and Wolverine playing a retro game together that apparently features Captain America, but not Thor; possibly a reference to Data East's ''Videogame/CaptainAmericaAndTheAvengers''. Spidey also mentions that, one day, both he and Wolverine are likely going to be video game stars, referencing both ''VideoGame/MarvelsSpiderMan'' and the in-development Wolverine game, both by Creator/InsomniacGames.
