Games like MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls

Steam reviews

What players say

Players find a fun, well-designed fighter hampered by a rough PC port, a forced PSN login and slow matchmaking, so opinion is split.

Many players praise the core fighting: accessible inputs and automated combos let casual players pull off flashy moves, while deeper strategy rewards experienced players. The Marvel roster, character design, anime art and stages draw consistent praise, and several reviewers call it one of the best fighters of recent years. The main complaints concern the PC version. Many players report stutters, unstable frame rates and rollback spikes online, and some say it is nearly unplayable on their hardware. Some reviewers on Linux or Steam Deck cannot run it at all. Others object to the mandatory PlayStation account and the anti-cheat and Sony software running in the background. Matchmaking waits are a frequent complaint, and some players call the roster small and the shared health bar a drawback. Recent reviews are more negative on performance and population, though several report that the August and October patches fixed their problems.

Who it suits

Suits players who enjoy tag-team fighters, want an accessible yet deep game to play with friends, and run a capable Windows PC or accept the PSN requirement.

Who should skip it

Should skip it for now if they use Linux or a Steam Deck, dislike mandatory PSN accounts, or depend on stable online play on a modest PC.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with well over 100 hours are more critical of the late-game balance, assist spam and matchmaking, while newer players praise the accessible combat more often.
