    Marvel Heroes Omega is a dream that comes true on console for every Marvel fan, and for all the others gamers it’s a fun free to play action brawler with RPG elements.

    If you own a PS4 don’t discount the fun and gameplay variety that can be gained by playing this free-to-play action game. For PC owners, gameplay with a PS4 controller seems looser and livelier compared to a mouse and keyboard. Don’t let the Marvel lore scare you away. I know several people that went in knowing just the basics and they still end up having a great time. Minimally, this PS4 version is a “must try”. Excelsior!

    Marvel Heroes Omega is a toweringly enjoyable marriage of dungeon crawling and superhero action that deserves to be embraced by both fans of Diablo and Marvel alike.

    Marvel Heroes Omega is a great example a free-to-play game done right. It's a shameless homage to Diablo with some great Marvel flair. The core gameplay is fun, and the free-to-play mechanics are largely unobtrusive. Some annoyances with the user interface and introduction to general mechanics drag down the game, but they're nothing too serious. Marvel fans or those looking for a fun action-RPG will be hard-pressed to find a better experience than Omega.

    Just began playing this today and couldn't put it down for about 4 hours. It plays just like Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Diablo. The storyJust began playing this today and couldn't put it down for about 4 hours. It plays just like Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Diablo. The story is pretty negligible, especially if you are familiar with the Marvel Universe, as it only sets to re-introduce the characters most fans already know about. Despite this, the open beta is pretty welcoming, as it lets you try out all of the characters first for as long as you want, until you're ready to "purchase" them. Fortunately, ALL of the characters can be purchased by gathering the shiny purple crystals (forgot their name), which means you don't have to shell out real money to get them. On the flipside, the game is still free-to-play and if you want the alternate costumes, that'll cost you real money.

    The nice thing about this game is, you get a pretty wide selection of heroes (with many more coming hopefully, the PC version has DOUBLE the amount of playable characters) to work with. Leveling progresses at a good pace and there is plenty to do aside from the campaign. The powers are pretty cool and the progression tree keeps going until level 60.

    Last, the entire campaign is playable regardless if you pay money for the game or not. So have fun!

    Marvel fans will enjoy this, younger fans and newcomers will like it as well, just don't expect a complex narrative here.    … Full Review »

    I'm an old school Marvel Heroes player from the original version that was released on the PC several years ago. I've long been wanting to seeI'm an old school Marvel Heroes player from the original version that was released on the PC several years ago. I've long been wanting to see the game eventually jump to the console so that more people could discover it and find out how fantastic it is. So when Gazillion announced the console releases of Marvel Heroes when it was re-branded Marvel Heroes: Omega I was thrilled.

    If you're a fan of the classic X-Men Legends or Marvel Ultimate Alliance games this is a great spiritual successor to those games which also takes a great deal of inspiration from the classic Diablo II. Plus if you're a fan of the Marvel Universe or the Marvel Cinematic Universe you'll be thrilled to see so many well known characters playable. Over 60 at current count with more coming soon.

    Marvel Heroes: Omega has some great cross-promotion with the Marvel Cinematic Universe as well. Everytime a new movie comes out they're always launching new characters, new costumes, and new content that continues the experience at home. They recently did events tying into Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Spider-Man: Homecoming. With Thor: Ragnarok right around the corner.

    Marvel Heroes: Omega offers a fairly casual gameplay experience for those new to this type of game with optional challenges that can be undertaken for those who want a bit more challenge. It's a fantastic game that I always find myself coming back to even after all these years. And I can't wait to see what's to come in the near future. In fact, they just announced playable Carnage.    … Full Review »
