Suicide Squad Ops features melee and range fighting with each of the three Characters having different strengths and weaknesess. Players select the order of the three characters, Harley Quinn, Deadshot, and El Diablo so the next character immediately takes over for their fallen teammate. The game ends when all three characters have died. There is no way to save your progress so to get the highest score possible players need to determine which character and their special move they are most proficient with before deciding the order of play. Your teams score is based on your kill count and not how many waves of the enemy you survive.
