The verdict
A deep, satisfying Marvel card-based tactics game with excellent combat, but roughly half the time goes to a chatty, quip-heavy Abbey hub. Skip it if you only want the fights or dislike Marvel-style writing.
Great for
Marvel fans and XCOM or deckbuilder fans who like friendship-sim hangouts between missions
Main risk
You may spend more time on cringey dialogue and Abbey chores than on the combat you bought it for.
What changed in the last 30 days
102 recent reviews
Recent negatives focus on the Abbey downtime, quip-heavy writing and some performance problems like final-mission slowdown and black-screen freezes. No single patch or event is evident, so confidence is moderate.
