Join the heroes of Marvel in this action-packed title
Marvel Cosmic Invasion is an action game featuring 15 characters from the Marvel franchise. Developed by Tribute Games Inc. and published by Dotemu and Gamirror Games for multiple platforms, this fighting title lets players face the Annihilation Wave that threatens the balance and lives in the universe.
Rendered in 2D and pixel graphics, Marvel Cosmic Invasion is an arcade-style game similar to the great games of the 1990s that offers a combat-filled and nostalgic experience. This superhero title features beat-‘em-up and side-scrolling mechanics and supports local and online co-op multiplayer gameplay.
Save the cosmos
The narrative of Marvel Cosmic Invasion follows the balance in the galaxy being interrupted as a sudden attack is launched across the cosmos by the one and only Annihilus—the embodiment of death and unstoppable force. Now, it is in the hands of this roster of heroes to retain the sacred balance and save all the living creatures in this universe.
From street-level crime fighters of New York City to cosmic beings willing to go to the Negative Zone, heroes join forces for a mission to fight against the Annihilation Wave. Some heroes in this roster include Wolverine and Storm from X-Men, Captain America (Steve Rogers) and Spider-Man from the Avengers, Nova (Richard Rider) from the Nova Corps, Phyla-Vell from Guardians of the Galaxy, and even the villain Venom (Eddie Brock).
With its Cosmic Swap tag-team system, players get to pick two of the Marvel heroes to switch their chosen heroes back and forth with ease. It allows them to utilize each character’s fighting styles and special abilities to create devastating combos. However, although a 15-character selection can be substantial for casual players, fans of Marvel and the comic run on which this game is based might find it limited.
Retro experience with Marvel
Marvel Cosmic Invasion delivers a fast-paced, nostalgic experience packed with pixel art action and fan-favorite heroes. With its arcade-style combat, co-op play, and unique Cosmic Swap tag-team system, it captures the spirit of classic 1990s beat-‘em-ups. Facing off against the Annihilation Wave offers excitement and challenge, though the limited 15-character roster may leave some fans wanting more. Still, it’s a fun, accessible ride through Marvel’s cosmic and street-level legends alike.
