Injustice: Gods Among Us
Injustice: Gods Among Us is a fighting game franchise based on superheroes from the DC universe. It was met with a fantastic reception from fans and critics alike when it initially launched in 2013.
Netherrealm Studios is known for its brutal and gory fighting game series, Mortal Kombat. With the release of MK9, the studio revolutionized storytelling in fighting games, leaving other developers in the genre to strive for the same level of excellence.
Injustice and its sequel, Injustice 2, both deliver on an amazing story using popular superheroes that fans have grown up with over the years. The use of the license is top-notch and allows people to live out the “who would win” scenarios that fans have debated tirelessly over the decades.
Injustice set itself apart by not just being a clone of Mortal Kombat with a DC aesthetic, and instead, NetherRealm Studios implemented unique gameplay mechanics to give the game its own identity.
The game sold incredibly well, becoming the number one selling game during the month it released, establishing itself as not only a game for comic book fans, but enjoyable for fighting game fans as well.
