Evil forces threaten the world as we know it, and it is up to a small group of heroes to save it.
As the enemy's minions draw closer and innocents are in danger, our heroes must join forces to thwart the villain's plans and save the world.
But will they succeed in time?
In Marvel DAGGER, players cooperate to face the forces of evil. Play as iconic heroes like Spider-Man, Daredevil, and Black Widow, traveling the globe to complete missions, fight enemies, and deliver the final showdown against the arch-enemy.
Choose the aspect that best fits your hero, perform spectacular combos, and wait for the perfect moment to unleash your ultimate power.
Team up with your allies and face formidable threats to become the greatest heroes in the world!
Specifically, "DAGGER" stands for "Defense Alliance for Global and Galactic Emergency Responses."
The concepts of "Alliance" and "Emergency Response" shape the gameplay: heroes must strengthen themselves through combos to face their arch-enemy.
There are two types of combo tokens: empowered tokens and primed tokens. When a hero is "empowered," they can discard their empowered token to add a success to any attribute test.
When an enemy is "primed," a hero attacking them can remove a primed token to add a success to the attack result, dealing extra damage.
Additionally, each hero has at least one "combo ability" that requires either an empowered token on themselves or a primed token on an enemy to trigger.
Triggering these combo abilities grants an extra benefit: advancing the synergy track, a resource shared by all heroes and used to fund "synergy abilities," the most powerful abilities in each hero's arsenal.
