MARVEL Cosmic Invasion Reviews
Quote not yet available
MARVEL Cosmic Invasion is a love letter to all Marvel fans. The game's roster has classic and new heroes that jump into the beat 'em up action. This title is so much fun!
As mentioned before, Marvel Cosmic Invasion is a very good title, and Tribute Games shows that it knows how to do a beat-'em-up well. The additions to the standard brawling mechanics make it a deep game for those wanting an evolution in the genre, but it remains simple enough for button-mashers to enjoy. The game runs at a good length and initially seems easy, but that changes once you start unlocking the modifiers. The amount of unlocks and challenges provide completionists with a good reason to return again and again.
The Cosmic Swap mechanic lets you play as more characters while adding a lot of depth and strategy. The lively spritework pops off the screen like it is a comic book come to life (it kind of is), emboldened by the stellar voice work and banger of a soundtrack. Cosmic Invasion rules.
Aside from some minor issues, more often encountered when playing alone, Marvel Cosmic Invasion is one of the best beat 'em ups currently available, and an absolute treat for Marvel fans.
Marvel Cosmic Invasion is pure nostalgia, embodied in one of the most fun beat'em ups of today. It's a must-have title for all generations of Marvel fans due to its huge variety of characters, combat system full of possibilities, and guaranteed fun thanks to a cooperative mode suitable for all ages.

My gaming chum and I had a wonderful time with MARVEL Cosmic Invasion so if you enjoy beat 'em ups then playing this gem of a game is a must. In fact, I think I'll put a little cape on my physical copy when it arrives in March. 🦸♀️

Marvel Cosmic Invasion is an excellent beat 'em up, but an even better love letter to the Marvel universe. Even with a few balance issues, it is one of the most approachable games in this genre and stands out for its style and combat mechanics.
MARVEL Cosmic Invasion translates the epic scope of the comics into a modern beat 'em up with a classic feel. A carefully curated and varied selection of heroes, well-designed mechanics, abundant unlockable content, and top-notch audiovisuals make each match a playable tribute worthy of the House of Ideas.

Like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge before it, Marvel Cosmic Invasion is another wonderful love letter to the quarter devouring beat ‘em ups of the past. While it might not be breaking new ground, the changes to traditional beat ‘em up gameplay are fun and make squishing screens and screens of bugs a delight.
Fun and nostalgic, Marvel Cosmic Invasion is an adventure worthy of the great heroes of the galaxy, reviving the glory of the golden age of gaming through extremely satisfying gameplay.

Not only is Marvel Cosmic Invasion a fun brawler to play through alone or with some friends, it's also a love letter to the 90s era of Marvel Comics that I grew up with.
Tribute were clearly paying attention to the criticisms of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge because despite its greatness, there were shortcomings and every one of them has been corrected and everything else has been improved. With a massive infusion of modern gameplay and a lengthy roster full of variety, Marvel Cosmic Invasion strikes a perfect balance between nostalgia and modernity in one of the best beat em ups of the year. If you’re a fan of classic beat em ups, 90’s or Marvel, Cosmic Invasion is pure nirvana
MARVEL Cosmic Invasion is an entertaining and fun title that delivers a vintage experience, making us feel like each of Earth's strongest heroes.

Overall, Marvel Cosmic Invasion is a great addition to the beat-em-up genre. While not quite reaching the heights of other recent greats like Streets of Rage 4 or TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge, Tribute Games still developed a wonderful game that will keep you and your friends entertained for hours. I’m excited for the future of the game, and if Shredder’s Revenge post-game support is anything to go by, we’re in for plenty of treats regarding future character additions and updates. Marvel Cosmic Invasion is insanely fun to play and definitely worthy of your time.
One of the best Marvel Comics-related games we've ever played. It pays homage to the classic beat 'em ups of the genre's golden age, but with modern elements that make it much more fun to play than you ever imagined it would be.

Just about everything about Marvel Cosmic Invasion is so smooth and sublime, I fear it may have ruined my ability to go back and play some of my favorite genre classics like Streets of Rage 2 and Knights of the Round—it's just that good.
“Marvel Cosmic Invasion is another modern meets retro classic under the Dotemu umbrella. It offers classic comic-book violence with an arcade feel, and a bucket-load of fan service for Marvel fans to look out for as they attempt to save the cosmos. However, above all, the hero tag-team feature feels like a revolution, making even single player runs feel like co-op chaos, which is also an option if you fancy it. It lacks a truly spectacular narrative, and could do with bespoke difficulty settings, but all in all, this is a superb Beat-em-up that does Stan Lee's band of freaks proud.”
