In this episode of the Introductory Gaming Podcast, we will be discussing a really popular superhero game. If you haven’t already guessed, we’re going to talk about DC’s take on a fighting game, Injustice 2. This podcast will detail what the game is about, and the fundamentals of how to play, and we will even be doing rounds of trivia. This podcast will only cover the second installment of the game. For this episode, we brought in a student guest, Anish Ponam.

For our first segment, we’re going to give a brief overview of the game Injustice 2. Injustice 2 released on May 11, 2017. This game, similar to Mortal Kombat, was made by NetherRealm Studios. Injustice 2 is a fighting game with a superhero twist on it. The game has a roster full of characters from the DC universe, and it even has some guest characters from the Mortal Kombat franchise. You can find your favorite superheroes from Batman to Superman, and for more hardcore fans, you can find obscure characters like Doctor Fate and Atrocitus. Every character has a list of moves that you can perform when battling. This game has a unique factor to it. It has a customization slot where you can equip gear for your favorite characters. Each character has hundreds of gear pieces unique to them, but you just have to unlock them. The gear is great because you can transform your character to make them look completely different and give them a new style. This gear also has a combat advantage as it increases or decreases certain attributes of the character. You can play this game with your friends in the multiplayer section. If you happen to be playing alone, you can play against the AI or even indulge in the story mode. While playing solo, you can also play in a place called the Multiverse where you battle many bosses to get really overpowered rewards.

---Story Line

• The storyline for Injustice 2 takes place on Earth. The Joker tricks Superman into killing Lois Lane, along with their son. A nuclear weapon was also detonated in Metropolis, leaving the city in ruins. Superman is enraged, so much so that he kills the Joker, and becomes a dictator of sorts. Superman runs around with the philosophy in mind that he should eliminate bad people before they do bad things. Batman hears about this and knows he must stop Superman because that is morally wrong. Batman creates a team of superheroes who agree with him to take down Superman’s Regime. Injustice 2's storyline centers around Batman and his insurgency's attempt to restore society after the fall of Superman's Regime; however, the arrival of the newly formed supervillain group "The Society" and the alien Brainiac force Batman to consider freeing the imprisoned Superman to help combat the threats.
