"Tribute Games, creators of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, know how to spice up the easily bland beat 'em up genre like few studios can, and Marvel Cosmic Invasion is no exception. Injecting tag-team mechanics reminiscent of the Marvel tag fighters adds a fun layer of strategy and chaos to this intergalactic smackdown, creating a retro-inspired treat comic fans shouldn't miss."
"When the evil Annihilus hatches a plot to take over the galaxy, a collective of heroes, from iconic names like Spider-Man, Captain America, and Wolverine to space-faring saviors like Phyla-Vell, Nova, and Silver Surfer, stand up to oppose him. As a comic book fan, I appreciate the roster's diversity in featuring names less-utilized in games like She-Hulk, Beta-Ray Bill, and the more modern Cosmic Ghost Rider."
"The combat retains the genre's appealing approachability while boasting enough mechanical depth to be more engaging than most contemporaries. Pummeling and air-juggling scores of A.I.M. goons or alien bug warriors feels great, but the kicker is tagging in a partner for a quick assist attack to extend combo strings. This tandem action is simple to execute yet consistently satisfying to pull off."
Annihilus plots to take over the galaxy, prompting a coalition of heroes including Spider-Man, Captain America, Wolverine, Phyla-Vell, Nova, Silver Surfer, She-Hulk, Beta-Ray Bill, and Cosmic Ghost Rider to respond. Tag-team mechanics introduce partner assists that extend combos and add strategic chaos to classic beat 'em up action. The campaign visits varied Earth and cosmic locales filled with comic references. Combat balances approachability with mechanical depth through pummeling, air-juggling, blocking, dodging, and parrying. Sprites and animations capture a retro aesthetic, and voice performances evoke endearingly cheesy, comic-accurate bombast.
