If you are thinking this is "Marvel's Shredder's Revenge", you are wrong, this game has more in common with the old Marvel arcades from the early '90s, the moment you see 8 heroes on the screen at the same time, you will immediatly remember the Konami X-Men classic (if you are an old like me, of course).There are also some light RPG elements that incentivate replaying stages with different characters, which is something necessary because the game becomes quite challenging in the latter levels.
If I have to say something negative about the game, is that they left out some legacy characters in place of some..."interesting" choices, and being 2025, I have to believe that is because they have DLC planned.
Other than that, this is a must if you are a beat em up/Marvel fan.
Wow this game is fun, but it feels like a demo, or act 1 of a full game. It needs longer stages, and 2x the number of stages. I felt like I had hardly scratched the surface of character combos and fun when the game suddenly ended.
If you grew up with games like this in the arcades in the 90’s, then you’ll appreciate this game for what it is. Reminds me of those old marvel vs capcom games, but in a beat’em up. Even the voice acting is good. But if you don’t care for those games, then this might not be for you. But I love this game so far. It’s fantastic -especially on the steam deck.
Truly a fun game and a very accurate homage to old beat 'em up games. Each character has its own lines and also for each of the other characters they fight alongside. As some have said it's a bit too short, but there's a lot of replayability playing with different characters.
