    MARVEL Cosmic Invasion is an extremely fun and addictive beat 'em up, featuring a complete Arcade Mode and an excellent soundtrack. The game features a diverse roster of 15 unique heroes and stages in iconic locations with vibrant graphics. It is gaming in its purest form: simple, engaging, and brilliant.

    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.

    Marvel Cosmic Invasion is a fun, flashy brawler that plays like a spiritual successor to Shredder’s Revenge. Tag-team mechanics and combo attacks add a fresh twist, though it lacks some flair outside combat. A solid pick for co-op fun, just a bit pricey for our taste.

    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.

    One of the best scrolling beat ‘em-ups ever made, with fantastic retro graphics, four-player co-op, and as much variety and combat depth as the genre will allow.

    Having found Tribute Games' previous release, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, to be one of the best scrolling beat ‘em ups I’d ever played, I had high expectations for Marvel Cosmic Invasion. How could Shredder’s Revenge with Marvel characters go wrong? Sadly, Marvel Cosmic Version is entirely OK but fails to be anything more than that.
