Avengers: Madness Destination

Avengers: Madness Destination, also known as Avengers v. Shade is an anime-style hack-n-slash action adventure video game developed by Nightingale Labs and released on April 1, 2021. It follows one of the Marvel superheroes (Iron Man) who comes across a mysterious new villain (Shade) that takes control of him and eventually causes him to super-saiyan, and the more times he super-saiyans, the further he is to immortality. The other Avengers have to stop Iron Man and Shade from gaining complete immortality.
This game was released for free, as it only contains 5 stages of action and can be completed under 3 hours. For a five stage game, it crams the most Avengers within a short game length, making this the highest density of characters in a short-length video-game.
==Plot==
===The Bad Beginning===
Tony Stark, also known as Iron Man, is building his new suit, which is named Project Ultimatum, said to be made of the recently discovered mineral called unobtainium. The project is going well, until a shortage of unobtainium is revealed partway through. 
A mysterious shard crashes down by the Avengers Tower, and a news story about the discovery of the mysterious shard appears. The mysterious shard is resembled to be a purple crystal, but is found to be of no use by the Avengers.
At midnight, the crystal is abandoned, but a mysterious supernatural presence appears, eventually getting to the Stark Laboratories and then powering up the Ultimatum suit and finishing it up for him.
The next day, Tony finds the suit mysteriously finished up. Suspiciously, he tests it out, only to eventually get taken over by a mysterious ghost that was in the suit; the Shades. He eventually, loses control of his former self, and becomes Iron Shade.
===Shade Attacks===
Iron Shade eventually starts taking over the world. In response, the Avengers start to try and fight the Iron Shade off, but they fail and eventually, Iron Shade counters with the Shades, which the Avengers fight off. The Avengers split up, trying to stop the Shades from invading different areas of Earth, while Iron Shade heads back to the Laboratories to get ready for his next phase; transforming into an even greater power.
===Super-Saiyaning===
The next day, the Avengers unite to get ready for another battle with Iron Shade, but then Iron Shade comes out and then the Avengers defeat him. Feeling defeated, Iron Shade decides to pull out his secret weapon; a super-saiyan. Iron Shade does his first super-saiyan and becomes Iron Shade 2, further increasing his agility. 
The Avengers try to fight Iron Shade off, but he single-handingly defeats every one of them. Spider-Man comments that Iron Shade is unstoppable upon fighting off the first wave of Avengers.
Iron Shade runs off to one of the checkpoints where the Avengers are hiding. Using the Shades, he channels their magic to summon a new force of shades called Mag Shades, heavier Shades that resemble giant versions of enemy soldiers. After the Avengers damage Iron Shade, Iron Shade super-saiyans again to Iron Shade 3, furthering his resistances to the max, and then defeat the Fantastic Four there. Iron Shade moves on to the Avengers Tower to finish his mission; proving to Shade that he's invincible.
Meanwhile, Black Panther, Doctor Strange, and Ant-Man watch over the tower, saying "We're Ready!"
===Ultimate Shade===
Iron Shade makes his siege at the Avengers Tower. As a response, the Avengers make a wall of defense, with Ant-Man aiming to get into Iron Shade and then hijacking the suit, Doctor Strange with the portals to destroy the Shades, and Black Panther aiming to reflect the attacks that Iron Shade does. Nick Fury and the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D aim to evacuate the people from Iron Shade.
After Ant-Man, Doctor Strange, and Black Panther fight off Iron Shade and injure him, Iron Shade decides to channel the Shades to pull one last trick, the last super-saiyan, where he electrifies himself with red electricity, stomping the ground to become Ultimate Iron Shade, furthering his offensive capabilities to the max, and then destroying the entire Avengers Tower afterward. Captain Marvel joins in to try and stop Iron Shade, but is then blown away with the red deathbeam.
Meanwhile, the other group of Avengers that evacuated the civilians are under siege against armies of Shade, including the Guardians of the Galaxy and the X-Men. They fight them off, but then Nick Fury calls every Avenger available for one last mission.
===Final Destination===
After Iron Shade proves to Shade himself that he is invincible, Shade lets him have complete control. Shade eventually engineers out the greatest superweapon ever, the N.U.K.E, a weapon that allows the user to annihilate everything, in a FLASH. 
Nick Fury stages the Avengers to one last battle, the battle that will determine the fate of the world and possibly the universe itself; Iron Shade and the N.U.K.E. He says that if they don't stop it, the universe will be destroyed. He also claims that the suit was actually known as Project Ultimatum, which the Shade finished for him, and that Iron Man ended up working with Shade afterward and that's how Iron Shade was created. They then decide that the only way to finish off Iron Shade is to use the Infinity Gauntlet to stop the N.U.K.E.
After getting the Infinity Gauntlet together, they fight against Iron Shade, using the Infinity Gauntlet. Using the power of all six Infinity Stones, they stop the N.U.K.E just in time it detonates, reflecting it back at Iron Shade and destroying the suit completely, while also saving Tony Stark's life. Nick Fury declares the mission as the hardest mission, even more so than the Avengers had ever gone on, beating Thanos.
==Gameplay==
The game plays more like a mix between the Avengers A-Day (2020) and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. There will be parties of 3-4 Avengers per stage, with the stage varying between which Avengers to play as. There are so far; Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, Thor, Black Panther, Guardians of the Galaxy, Falcon, Winter Soldier, Captain Marvel, Fantastic Four, X-Men including Deadpool, Daredevil, Punisher, Blade, and Ant-Man. In some sections, there will be up to 8 Avengers in large-scale battles.
Each Avenger has four abilities which are activated by holding down R1 and then inputting with the buttons, in similar fashion to the Ys games and Granblue Fantasy Relink. These abilities recharge by cooldown timers, but the cooldown timers are also made so that basic attacks can also recharge it as well.
Each stage compresses of several battles against enemies, which represent various forms of Shades; ranging from Rooks to Kings, and later on Mags as well. The Shades are phantoms that can take the form of many shapes and beings.
Throughout the game, the main antagonist, Iron Shade has four forms; Iron Shade 1, Iron Shade 2, Iron Shade 3, and Ultimate Iron Shade, each transforming via a super-saiyan. Each of the five stages will comprise battles against Iron Shade.
The graphics in the game go for a cel-shaded anime but detailed artstyle, similarly to Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition.
