Minimap: 3.5 / 5 by Charlotte Huston

Marvel Cosmic Invasion is an excellent little beat ‘em up game that I believe people who enjoy retro-styled arcadey games of this sort will quite enjoy. There is genuine passion for the Marvel IP shown here by Tribute Games, and as a fan of the IP myself, I appreciate their work. Though, I unfortunately cannot over the aforementioned lack of polish and shoddy voice work audio mixing.

Twisted Voxel: 8 / 10 by Salal Awan

Marvel Cosmic Invasion revitalizes the beat ’em up genre with a brilliant tag-team system and distinct hero mechanics that elevate its classic arcade roots. While the stunning pixel art and co-op chaos are delightful, the experience is slightly held back by repetitive enemy encounters and an unsatisfying, shallow progression system.

Full Review

Gert Lush Gaming: 7.8 / 10 by Jim Smale

MARVEL Cosmic Invasion delivers a fun and frantic beat ’em up with a huge roster, tag team mechanics, and a nostalgic arcade feel. It has a lot of charm thanks to its pixel art, soundtrack, and pick-up-and-play nature. While the lack of accessibility options, repetitive modes, and limited replay value hold it back, it still offers a solid burst of cosmic action, especially for fans of retro-style brawlers.
