Steam reviews

What players say

Players who enjoy the Marvel roster and fights recommend it, but most long-time players say grind and pay-to-win pressure, plus input lag on PC, outweigh the fun.

Many players enjoy the huge roster of Marvel heroes and villains and the simple one-on-one fights, which have depth once you learn champion abilities and counters. Some like the PC port for its bigger screen, native controller support and smoother menus, and free players say the game is generous with crystals and events. Others complain about heavy monetisation, with progress gated behind paid champions and energy limits, and say the grind never ends. Many PC reviewers report input lag and delayed inputs in combat, while some report crashes, Easy Anti-Cheat launch failures and an unresponsive menu. Reviews from players with hundreds of hours are more negative than the newer and shorter-playtime reviews, which lean positive.

Praised

  • Huge Marvel roster

    Players enjoy collecting many heroes and villains, each with different abilities and moves that keep team building varied.

    Many players
  • Simple but deep fights

    One-on-one combat is easy to learn with light and heavy attacks, blocks and specials, and rewards learning champion timing and synergies.

    Many players
  • Better PC experience

    Players find the PC version easier to play than mobile, thanks to controller or keyboard support, bigger screens and a cleaner menu interface.

    Some players
  • Nostalgia and long history

    Players who have followed the game since its mobile launch enjoy seeing it on PC and the steady stream of new content over the years.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Pay-to-win and grind

    Players say progress needs paid champions or currency, energy limits slow play and the grind never ends.

    Many players
  • Input lag on PC

    Many PC reviewers report delayed inputs and lag in combat, which makes precise timing frustrating and costs fights.

    Many players
  • Launch and stability problems

    Players cannot start the game because Easy Anti-Cheat fails, the game freezes or crashes, or the menus stop responding.

    Some players
  • Repetitive gameplay

    Players find battles repetitive after a few weeks, with similar patterns and rotating events as the only variety.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who like Marvel characters and collecting large rosters, and who are happy to play long-term without paying much.
Who should skip it
Players who want a skill-based fighter, want to avoid grinding and spending, or want reliable input on PC.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with under 20 hours are mixed and mostly praise the roster and fights, while players with over 200 hours mostly do not recommend and cite grind, paid progression and PC input lag.
