Dotemu’s latest 2D beat ’em up, this time from Tribute Games (of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge fame), is now available. Of course, we’re talking about Marvel Cosmic Invasion, which sees 15 of the Marvel universe’s greatest heroes (and anti-heroes) teaming together against Annihilus. Check out the launch trailer below.
Said heroes include Avengers like Captain America, Black Panther and Iron Man, X-Men such as Wolverine, Storm and Jean Grey (Phoenix), and Rocket Raccoon of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Of course, there’s also Phyla-Vell, Beta Ray Bill, Silver Surfer, Nova, Cosmic Ghost Rider, and more. Each has unique abilities that can be comboed using the Cosmic Swap system.
Along with going it alone, you can team up with three other players in online or couch co-op with drop-in/drop-out support. Marvel Cosmic Invasion is available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2. Check out our review, where we gave it a nine out of ten, for more details.
