While the launch of Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League was awful, many players were hopeful that the release of the first season would bring plenty of new content to fill out the barren late game that was initially on offer. Not only would the first season be bringing new content, but we would also see the release of a new playable character, The Joker. Now that the first season has been released, many fans are still disappointed with the game.

While we did receive the release of The Joker as a playable character, that seems to be the only major change that came with this update. No new activities were added, just new modifiers for enemies to spawn with on the same activities from before. The only real visual change to the activities was a Joker theme slapped over the same invaded world from before the update.

Not even the addition of Joker makes the update hurt less

Not even the addition of Joker makes the update hurt less, since you have to grind through countless repetitive missions in order to unlock him or spend some money to get him instantly. If you choose to grind it out, you will need to run up to 35 incursion missions unless you choose to run the endless incursion and make it up to the higher difficulty levels.

Once you do manage to reach rank 35 of the incursion, you can take on another Brainiac similar to how you did at the end of the base game. The fight is a slightly altered Green Lantern fight sadly, with most of the changes able to be ignored. The only major difference outside of a different arena for the fight is that you need to stand in bubbles to dodge a wipe mechanic. Which is yet another repetitive mechanic scattered all throughout the game.

The only other upside to the seasons is the addition of new weapons and Villainous sets with Scarecrow being the new set to focus on. All the new items feature the new status effect, poison. While this does shake up a bit of the end-game meta, it doesn’t add much since you can keep running anything you were last season with ease.

Overall, the launch of the first season of Suicide Squad is still lacking much of what players really want out of the game, that being new content to play around with. Running the same missions over and over again gets stale quite fast and slapping modifiers onto the enemies to change up the challenge is only a band-aid fix to a much larger problem. Hopefully we can expect more new content to play around with from a mid-season update or maybe we will need to wait for season 2 to see any major content drops.
