Haven: Call of the King
Get ready for a gaming escapade with “Haven: Call of the King,” a mind-blowing action-adventure game crafted by Traveller’s Tales and dropped into the gaming scene by Midway Games in 2002. Initially planned for Xbox and GameCube by Xicat Interactive, and even a Game Boy Advance version in the works, but unfortunately, those plans never saw daylight.
The Three-Year Rollercoaster of Creation
“Haven: Call of the King” is like a gaming smoothie, blending action, platforming, puzzle-solving, shoot ’em up, racing, and space warfare. The game’s creators, Traveller’s Tales, poured over three years of effort into making it the first piece of a trilogy. Midway went big on the hype, calling it a “FreeFormer gameplay” experience where players could jump between genres like it’s a game buffet.
But here’s the twist—the game didn’t quite hit the jackpot. Reviews were all over the place, criticizing its overambition. It turned out to be a commercial nosedive, despite Midway betting big on it. Sadly, no sequels came out of this ambitious project.

The Basics
Picture this: “Haven: Call of the King” is like a third-person adventure where you spend a good chunk of your time leaping around. Our guy, Haven, can do the usual stuff—hop, double jump, high leap, crouch, and throw in some punches for good measure. He’s got this energy barrier thing that acts like a shield from bad stuff. Cool, right?
Cool Tools of Destruction
Haven’s go-to weapon? A modified yo-yo called the “mag-ball.” Short-range, but it gets the job done—smashing pots, defeating baddies, and hitching rides on “mag-rides,” the electric transports in the game. Plus, Haven can spice things up with a “power-spin,” where he spins around like a boss, damaging anything that comes too close. As the game progresses, he picks up other weapons like plasma shots, rapid-fire cannons, and laser shots.

Gameplay [title]
The majority of the most well-known superheroes from the DC Universe are represented in the game, including, among others, Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. Two Justice League members engage in combat with various villains and their goons on each level. A single player can freely switch between playing as either of the two Justice League members while playing the game alone. The players in a two-player game can only switch whatever characters they are in charge of with their consent. Warner Bros. claims that the 2004 cancellation of a justice league super heroes ps2 game under development by Midway Games had nothing to do with the current undertaking.
Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, John Stewart, Martian Manhunter, and Zatanna are all available right away when a new game is started, but as the game goes on, more characters (as well as alternate outfits) can be obtained. While the costumes can be worn at any time, these unlockable characters can only be used in levels where the player(s) can choose which characters to take.
In addition, there are initially three levels of difficulty (Easy, Medium, and Hard). After completing Hard, Elite and Superhero are unlocked. The enemies’ damage output increases against the superheroes but their health and life reserves increase with each subsequent difficulty level, canceling out any skill advancements. On Superhero difficulty, many of the enemies will dispatch the majority of superheroes in a single blow, necessitating the player’s mastery of a variety of techniques and tactics.
