Dec 1, 2025Pound for pound, Marvel Cosmic Invasion is an amazing follow-up to Shredder’s Revenge, taking the smart nostalgic foundation of an old arcade license (this time X-Men, Maximum Carnage, and the like) and building it into a brilliant modern experience. 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.

Dec 8, 2025With everything to gain and little to lose, Tribute Games’ latest entry leaves you satisfied thanks to the obvious love and care the studio has for the beat ’em up genre. In this case, the story, visual design, replay value and references all feel on point, but the game comes up short in length and some players may be left wanting more. That could easily be addressed with updates that add more missions, more characters and, if possible, a versus mode between characters.
