Okay, so Marvel, right? They’ve apparently been doing the whole “punch dudes in the face” thing for ages. Who knew? 🤔 But let’s be real, most superhero games are just button-mashing garbage. But hold on, I’m being told that Marvel Cosmic Invasion is different. It’s not just good, it’s “destined to become an instant genre classic.” Yeah, okay, buddy. Tell me another one. 🙄
Apparently, Marvel Cosmic Invasion is brought to you by the same geniuses 🧠 behind Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge. You know, that game that everyone forgot about like, a week after it came out? But this time, it’s different! It’s a “step forward”! They’ve added “unique ideas and identity”! I’m sure it’s totally worth the $70 you’ll spend on it before realizing you’d rather be watching paint dry. 🎨 And if you’ve seen the trailer and thought, “Wow, that looks mildly entertaining,” get ready to be disappointed because, let’s face it, trailers always lie. 🤥
The graphics are “jaw-droppingly gorgeous.” 🙄 Of course they are. Every sprite is animated with “lavish detail.” I bet you can even see the individual pores on Captain America’s face. And the backgrounds? Forget about it! Toppled hot dog carts and abandoned Daily Bugle trucks? It’s like a virtual dumpster fire, but in HD! 🔥 The Dotemu rep, whoever that is, probably got paid extra to say all that.
They want you to believe that this game is going to revolutionize the beat ’em up genre. It’s got “core mechanics” similar to Shredder’s Revenge, so basically, it’s the same game with a Marvel skin. You pick a hero, punch some thugs, and fight a boss. Riveting. 😴 But the “brilliance” lies in the “phenomenal presentation” and “fluidity of its combat.” So, basically, it looks pretty and the characters don’t move like robots. Groundbreaking. 🤯
There are 15 whole playable characters! 🎉 But let’s be honest, you’ll probably just stick to Spider-Man because, well, he’s Spider-Man. But the real “star of the show” is the tag-team system! You get to pick TWO heroes and swap between them! It’s like multitasking, but with superheroes! And if you time it right, you can do “elaborate combos”! Get ready to spend hours memorizing button combinations just to show off to your friends who definitely won’t care. 🤣
This guy picked Captain America and Spider-Man. Because originality is overrated, right? Cap can throw his shield (wow, never seen that before) and Spidey can shoot webs (amazing!). Each character has a “unique focus in battle.” Wolverine claws, Nova flies, Venom throws. It’s like a superhero buffet of clichés! 🤤 Finding “synergy” between characters is a “blast”! Until you realize that you’re just mashing buttons and hoping for the best. 🤷♀️
Marvel: Cosmic Invasion has “all the makings of a great beat ’em up.” Which means it has the potential to be good, but will probably end up being just okay. It’s the kind of game that this dude doesn’t need to see or play another second of—he’ll be there day one. 🤡 Don’t be like this guy. Save your money and go buy a pizza. 🍕
Marvel Cosmic Invasion launches in 2025 on every platform imaginable. Because why not milk it for all it’s worth? 💸
