Marvel Cosmic Invasion Looks Cool And Now Has A Free Demo

"On October 1, Tribute Games and publisher Dotemu announced and released a free, playable demo for the upcoming Marvel Cosmic Invasion. The demo contains two full levels with boss fights, supports both local and online co-op, and features nine playable characters: Rocket Raccoon, Nova, Phyla-Vell, She-Hulk, Venom, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Storm, and Captain America. Here's a new trailer for the demo:"

"Announced earlier this year during a Nintendo Direct, Marvel Cosmic Invasion is a side-scrolling 2D retro-inspired beat 'em up being developed by the same studio behind the extremely tubular and awesome TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, which was also a 2D co-op brawler. Cosmic Invasion, like Tribute's past games, is a snappy and action-packed retro throwback. I played the new demo on Steam for a few minutes and immediately had a blast smashing baddies as She-Hulk and Spider-Man."

"Swapping between the two, which is this game's big gimmick, was great as it let me switch between Spider-Man's fast and agile action during some segments and She-Hulk's heavy hits during fights with tougher foes. I did encounter some performance dips, which wasn't ideal, but hopefully those issues get ironed out when the game launches...eventually. While there are nine characters in the demo, that's not the game's full line-up."

A free demo for Marvel Cosmic Invasion launched on October 1 on Steam. The demo includes two full levels with boss fights, supports local and online co-op, and features nine playable characters: Rocket Raccoon, Nova, Phyla-Vell, She-Hulk, Venom, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Storm, and Captain America. The game is a side-scrolling 2D retro-inspired beat 'em up developed by Tribute Games and published by Dotemu, sharing DNA with TMNT: Shredder's Revenge. A core mechanic allows swapping between two characters during play, offering different playstyles. Some performance dips were noted on PC. The demo is not available on Xbox, PlayStation, or Switch. The full launch roster will total 15 characters, with three yet to be revealed.
