Marvel's Cosmic Invasion Review -

Good enough to assemble your Avengers on a lazy Sunday.

Depending on who you talk to, beat 'em ups are either repetitive button-down coins or deceptively simple vehicles for total combat dominance.Me?I belong to the latter camp.But how do you arouse people like me who are not psychotic?How can you get them to take the first steps on the psycho journey?Try combining a mechanically superior pace with this year's Absolume mid Roguelite.Marvel Cosmic Invasion developer Tribute Games—the cats behind Fanatic Revenge, the best TMNT game since Turtles in Time—takes a different approach.This Marvel vs. Capcom takes a look at old fighting games and asks one of the boldest questions I've seen in the New York Minute beat 'em up pose: What if this was a tag game where you control multiple heroes?Even if the actual implementation of Cosmic Invasion doesn't fit this concept, the answer is, it bends, it rules.

I'll be honest with you;I'm not a Marvel guy.My dad likes comics, and he got me hooked, but DC has always been his thing (he owns every Wonder Woman comic ever published, and no, that's not an exaggeration), so at heart I'm a DC guy with a soft spot for indie comics.But I love the weirder parts of Marvel, especially the millions of conflicting timelines of the X-Men and the cosmic stuff.It's not the most popular thing Marvel releases (which is and always will be Spider-Man, although X-Men isn't overlooked), but it's the most interesting.Give it to me any day for MCU stuff.

If the title doesn't give it away, it's an all-out Marvel cosmic attack.The story here is very simple, combined directly from the pages of the series.A bad-ass shockwave (Listen up, comic book, right?) that's chewing up the galaxy!All lives hang in the balance!Until Marvel's Marvel mail tag collection, home-born or otherwise, to bring him.Cosmic origin.That's all you need to know.And you know what?It works.

But the truth is that everyone here is stunning because the pixel art spritework is absolutely gorgeous.Whether it's Phila-Vell's hair gently blowing in the wind, Wolverine always looking like a coiled spring, or the sometimes subtle transformations that portray Eddie Brock as Venom beneath the symbiote, Cosmic Invasion captures the essence of these characters right down to their voices.Go ahead and watch the videos on this page, tell me it doesn't sound like Wolverine or Stormtrooper or Iron Man in your head.True devotees, the vibration is pure.

Structurally, Cosmic Invasion is a pretty standard beat 'em up game.Aside from the tutorial, there are 15 stages, including old Marvel stages like New York, Wakanda, Savage Land, and Genosha, as well as more exotic surroundings like Fort Galactus, each with a fun little caption (Genosha has Heavy Metal, Savage Land has Rumble in the Jungle).Stage selection is mostly a straight line, but sometimes the path splits before converging again, and you'll have to pass through both branches before moving on.

The difficulty level is good, but it's good that you don't end up on the road with environmental hazards from time to time.Finding the planet and not being able to find three challenges in each stage - this is the hero's own, for example, defeating a certain number of enemies with a certain hero's attack, the final stage.It's all good: the problems encourage you to use new characters, and the stages are 10-15 minutes long, you're stuck - there's nothing here.

The characters of the invasion of Cossic make it special.Up to four people can play two characters at the same time, controlling two characters each, and showing how each character will turn out even if they feel the same at first.Take Nova and Iron;Actually, both of their special attacks are energy blasts between them, but Nova can hit and hit multiple targets at once.There is no metal.Nova is just an energy field that comes out of the lower level, iron (shock and laser) can hit anywhere on the screen, but you need to fire your line and aim.

Meanwhile, Rocket is very powerful, but his attacks do a lot of heavy damage, while Phyla-Vell's, which are more melee-oriented, stun him - and no one else has anything like his sword, which he can throw and then teleport to start combos and then guard across the screen.Beta Ray Bill and Cap can both also throw weapons, but Cap's shield automatically returns;even She-Hulk and Wolverine, both up close and personal, play differently.Logan is faster and almost all stabby-stabby combos are chained together, while Jen is a powerhouse who focuses on short combos that send her victims into the air for potential ups.Both grabs, but they work in different ways.

Some characters have evasion. Although some characters can block and parry if done right. This opens up more defensive options, flying characters are much easier to deal with winged enemies than non-flying ones. And it's easier for them to avoid being trampled by everyone, everyone is a little different. And it can have a huge impact on how they play.

But the really cool thing is the tag group features.You only actively control one character at a time, and you can call your tag partner for various hints to continue the pain, opening up cool new offensive options - this can be a launcher, a standard combo, their unique ability, their dosed special attack "I want to kill these guys" and so on.Finding the best combinations and how the move sets interact.It's a lot of fun, especially considering you don't start with unlocking everyone.Losing a mid-level character (they have separate health bars), but even so, all is not lost.You continue on with your remaining heroes, and if you find some food on the ground, a time-honored beat-em-up tradition, they'll return with some health.

Characters also level up as you use them, gaining more health, passive abilities, and more, which encourages you to experiment, especially in co-op.I played the entire game with my wife (a single run through the campaign took three hours), and while I think Cosmic Invasion is a good time solo, like any beat 'em up, it's better with friends.

If it is for dark eyes, it is the lack of core in the crease, it is the most dangerous income.Silver forgave him for many climbs.Finally, He will restore us again, and again.

If you get the defeat of the minions of destruction, you can see their actions on the show of this message, and listen to some of the violence.Give things to others.It's a good little role, and if you open the right settings to make a model, it doubles as a good way to make art.I made a cute little bug and got all of it and I'll miss it when it's gone.
