'Meh'. Sorta delivers what's on the tin but everything about this DLC pack seems phoned in. Perhaps the developers are under time constrains, but this is doing the bare minimum.
The biggest draw of the DLC is of course Deadpool. Nolan North comes in, who has voiced Deadpool in other games, but the writing does him short. 'Funny' is subjective but just comparing him to the same voice actor in Marvel Heroes is night and day. Perhaps this is Fireaxis' way of making sure he doesn't break with the tone of the setting too much, but Deadpool is not a character you should be doing halfway. Mechanics-wise he has an unique mechanic build around KO'ing enemies without getting hit to power up his abilities - like the other characters his card options are limited but sufficient.
The new enemy types are barely worth mentioning. Vampyres are the better of the two, adding an effect to your cards to inflict self-bleed when you play them. Their feeding frenzy mechanics and spawns punish high amounts of card plays, which hit the free and quick-heavy playstyles the hardest much like Sabertooth does. Infected Hydra on the other hand are basic enemies with an added bleed-on-hit, who sometimes turn to a minion if you kill them. Visually or mechanically they are barely a 'new' enemy compared to the most basic mooks.
The missions are the biggest dissappointment. True, 3 missions isn't really enough to tell a story, but the game doesn't really try. I'd say spoiler warning but frankly there's nothing to spoil: mission one is you crossing paths with Deadpool while he's on a job to steal something, mission two nothing happens storywise, and mission three you fight a boss and destroy the artifact. The boss was a special disappointment: Sin. Sin, the child (or in this case granddaughter, which fits this timeline better) of the Red Skull, is... basically a standard enemy. She has a reskin of the Hydra mystics attacks, despite Sin not being a spellcaster, and she aggros enemies towards your heroes if they hit her like the Nestmother. She adds nothing gameplaywise, and storywise she continues the trend of using HYDRA as puppets for others rather than being a threat on their own, since she works for another villain. Frankly, a character like Loxias Crown (AKA Hunger) would have fit better, since he actually was a HYDRA agent who turned vampire. Deadpool has a somewhat in-character but very shallow reason to join the Midnight Suns (destroying the artifact would get his employer mad at him) and the Hunter has basically no reason to invite him or let him stay, so the 'story' comes off as very bland.
If this DLC was at half the cost and called a character pack I'd be milder (not 'positive', but a more positive 'meh'), but as it stands this isn't worth the money. Don't buy unless you like the base game, you're a Deadpool fan, and it's 50% off.
