Assemble a team of Marvel heroes to fight the Annihilation Wave in a side-scrolling beat ’em up. The campaign travels from New York City to locations including the Negative Zone.
Choose two heroes for each level and switch between them during fights. Each hero has distinct abilities, and tag attacks, assists, specials, and combo chains let you combine their moves against groups of enemies and bosses.
Play through the campaign or take on Arcade mode, where modifiers can change the challenge. Heroes gain levels, while challenges and the vault offer progression and unlockables. The game supports local and online co-op for up to four players.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its quick arcade-style fights, the ability to swap between two heroes and link their attacks, and the varied Marvel roster. Pixel-art visuals and comic references also appeal to fans, while co-op is a recurring highlight. Other reviews describe the campaign and replay options as limited, and some find the enemies or combat repetitive.
Tribute Games and Dotemu are teaming up again, in collaboration with Marvel Games, to craft an original, fresh beat 'em up. Featuring dynamic combat combos and dazzling pixel art, this planet-hopping adventure stands as a love letter to the Marvel Universe.
