About the game
For noble missions, there’s the Justice League, the Justice Society of America, or other heroic groups. For those shady missions the government doesn’t want people to know about, Amanda Waller gathered the most useful villains she was able to find in prison, stuck a nano-bomb in their head, and set them off on their task with the promise of a commuted sentence. If they survive. Odds of that are not great, given the team was dubbed the Suicide Squad. But hey, only the good die young! This expansion brings a group of Villains with heroic tendencies. Or perhaps it’s a group of Heroes with villainous tendencies. Whatever the case may be, all members of the Suicide Squad can be played as either a Hero or a Villain! As Villains, they pair together to give Heroes a real fight. But they’re at their most fearsome when the whole Suicide Squad is put together to complete their nefarious mission. As Heroes, the members of the Suicide Squad live up to their moniker, always ready to roll with the punches with abilities that trigger when they are KO’d. Just make sure to keep your head about you if add the Nano-Bombs Challenge to your game!
