Rocksteadys ill-fated live service shooter had mostly slipped my mind and, with fellow PC Gamer writer Morgan Park's assertion that it was, against all odds, a harmless bit of middle-of-the-road fun, I'd at least assumed it would've garnered a modest but tidy audience. Too humble to make up for a $200 million loss, sure, but enough to keep its gears running.

Looking at the stats SteamDB over the past 3 months, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League has endured a steady decline from a still-not-great 2,700 players in March. By the end of April, only 170 people were playing it on Steam. This rose to about 500 again in May with the advent of Season 1, Episode 2, but soon returned to numbers that're almost hamlet-sized. At the time of writing, its 24-hour peak is 210 players. That's around the same as Gotham Knights right now, a similar faux pa that came out two whole years beforehand.


I'll be honest: aside from huge, blow-out successes that are clearly noteworthy by any metric such as Helldivers 2 and, puzzlingly, Banana, I don't like uncritically rattling off Steam numbers as some proof of gloom and doom. So in the interest of fairness, here's some obvious caveats.


Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is a multi-platform game. It's out on PS5, Xbox Series X and S. It's also available on the Epic Games Store. Not every single person playing the game will be playing it on Steam, and it's likely the overall numbers are not as bad.


That being said, considering that aforementioned $200 million loss, I think we can assume things are going poorly. The game stopped giving its "weekly" developer updates last month, the final post being from May 31.


Heading over to the Discord, the community's atmosphere seems more like a wake than a village. "Hate to be that guy, but is it a good idea to get back into the game?" one player asks. "Simple answer is no," a fellow squadder replies. Another player later remarks, with the air of a violinist on the Titanic: "Enjoy the ride till it's over."


Listen, I have all sorts of critical feelings about what this game meant in terms of the industry. I think Rocksteady's move away from what it's good at and into doomed, five-years-too-late live service nonsense was just as frustrating as our own Robin Valentine made it out to be. In a year and change of terrible, ongoing layoffs, it was another reminder that the desire to strike gold will always crush decent studios full of capable people into fine dust. It isn't enough to make good, well-selling games, the line has to go up and up and up.


As a game, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is endemic of the kind of bland, corporate optimism of "we can make a Fortnite, probably!" that callously puts talented individuals out of work. Although, in fairness, the same report that highlighted that $200 million loss also laid blame at the feet of the studio's co-founders, who left before the thing even launched.


Your squad leader shouts orders in your ear, because your unit still hasn't completed the assignment. Your FOB is far behind you, but this is the final push. This isn't scripted. This is the reality of playing Squad, an online multiplayer tactical first-person shooter by Offworld Industries.


You can pick one of over a dozen class kits, each designed to fulfill a specific role on the battlefield. Grab a classic like medic or sniper, but there are more waiting for you. Be the one responsible for reconnaissance, have the tools to counter tanks and air vehicles, or dedicate yourself to handling said vehicles. It is up to you, but you will be expected to obey orders and have an exemplary service record either way.


Gone are the days when the battlefield is full of individuals. Squad, true to its name, puts emphasis on working as a unit to achieve things no individual soldier would be able to. Your squad (PC) leader is the only one who can communicate with other units, set up ad hoc respawn locations, and even coordinate construction of encampments.The difference between a good and bad SL is the difference between life and death on the battlefield and during Squad gameplay. Can you handle the responsibility, or you're prefer to see others take it upon themselves?


You don't have to pound the ground all the time. Keep your strength for the fight. Your SL can request vehicles to speed up your journey from one rally point to the next. Armored trucks, motorbikes, APCs, there are even helicopters, if it is what your unit really needs to do your job.Just remember: they aren't infinite, the other squads may request them too, and you are all one team.


You never stay long in one place if you have to. Your squad leaders can set up rally points and forward operating bases to push the frontline ever closer to your ultimate goal.Rally points will be your ad hoc respawn points, while FOBs are fortified and give you a good positions should your enemy go on the offensive.


Squad has several exciting game modes that will test you and your squad. In Advance and Secure your goal is to capture and hold Control Points in certain order. Insurgency will have you destroy enemy weapon caches thanks to intel gathered through killing foes. In Territory Control you have to reclaim land from the opposing team within time limit. Finally Conquest makes you capture flags, while your respawn tickets drain away.


Squad gameplay doesn't care for any of the visual aids other games give you. No minimap, no heads-up display cluttering the screen, no convenient enemy highlighting in any way. You don't even see your squad mates' name tags. It's just you, your wits, and the trust that your squad leader knows what needs to be done.
