Marvel Cosmic Invasion has not yet been released, but a trial version has been released.This Marvel game with the most stunning visual effects in many years is also a work that many of our Kotaku team are looking forward to playing later this year. It is now available on Steam for a small trial version, where players can experience this superhero clear action game alone or with a few friends.
On October 1, Tribute Games and publisher Dotemu announced and launched a free and playable trial version of the upcoming Marvel Universe Invasion.The trial version includes two full levels and boss battles, supports local and online cooperation modes, and provides 9 playable characters: Rocket Raccoon, Nova, Phella-Vera, Female Hulk, Venom, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Stormwoman and Captain America.Here is a new trailer for this trial version:
Announced at Nintendo's direct meeting earlier this year, "Marvel Universe Invasion" is a horizontal scroll-style 2D retro-style action game created by the studio that once developed "Teenagement of Mutant Ninja Turtles: Schrader's Revenge" - the latter is also a 2D cooperative action game with excellent quality and extremely stylish.Like Treb Game Studio's previous works, "The Invasion of the Marvel Universe" has a bright pace, intensive action, and full of retro sentiment.I tried it on Steam for a few minutes, and the process of manipulating the Hulk and Spider-Man to hit the enemy is full of fun.The experience of switching between two characters (which is the core feature of this game) is great: in some scenes I can switch to the swift Spider-Man, and when facing more powerful enemies, I can switch to the heavy blowing Hulk.However, I encountered some performance fluctuations, which were not ideal, but I hope these problems will be solved when the game is released... After all, the release is not far away.
Although the trial version contains 9 characters, this is not the full character lineup of the game."Marvel Universe Invasion" is expected to have a huge lineup of 15 characters.Currently, 12 of the 15 first-time playable characters are known, and another 3 have not been announced yet.
There is bad news for console players now: The new trial version of "Marvel Universe Invasion" is not available on Xbox, PlayStation or Switch.This obviously disappointed many players online, and some players expressed their dissatisfaction in the comment section of the above trailer.
We shouldn't have to wait too long, though, as "The Invasion of the Marvel Universe" is scheduled to be released in 2025.The specific date has not been announced yet, but there is not much time left in the rest of this year - so if the game is not postponed, it is likely to be available to PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Switch 2, Switch and PC platforms in the next few weeks.
