The verdict
A stylish, Marvel-flavored arcade beat 'em up with a fun tag-team system and great co-op, but short and thin on content for the price. Skip it at full price or if you mostly play solo.
Great for
Marvel fans and couch co-op groups or families who want a nostalgic 90s-style arcade brawler
Main risk
Finishing the short campaign in a few hours and feeling the content isn't worth the $30 price
What changed in the last 30 days
19 recent reviews
Recent reviews are mostly positive, citing fun co-op and a growing roster via DLC. Reviewers still mention the price, so the evidence is limited.
