"Tag! You're it! The classic childhood game where the ultimate goal is to hunt down and touch another human being (get your mind out of the gutter) has been around for eons, perhaps even since humanity began. But in Marvel's Cosmic Invasion, from the incredible team at Tribute Games, it takes on a whole new meaning, because in this case it's Wolverine, or Spider-Man, or She-Hulk. It's tag-team wrestling on steroids. It's a pixelated side-scrolling brawler filled with chaos and Marvel icons. It. Is. Marvel-ous."
"It wouldn't be Marvel without some galaxy-level threat pulling up and throwing punches. This game's big bad is Annihilus, a name you might know from the Annihilation comic event. The game is based roughly on that storyline, but all you really need to know is that Annihilus has appeared and is invading with his bug army, so some of Earth's most powerful heroes are going to have to join forces and deliver a good old-fashioned ass-whooping."
"The big gimmick here is that you choose two characters from the roster of 15 to take into battle, and you can swap between them with a single button. One second you're slicing and dicing as Wolverine, the next you're slamming people as She-Hulk. But the tag-teaming (MIND OUT OF THE GUTTER!) action doesn't stop there, because you can have your team-mate pop in for a quick attack and hop out again. Think the Marvel vs Capcom games, and you're in the right ballpark."
Marvel's Cosmic Invasion is a pixelated side-scrolling brawler that pits iconic Marvel heroes against Annihilus and his invading bug army. The game uses retro-inspired cutscenes and occasional mid-stage dialogue with slightly cheesy voice acting to convey a fun, comic-book tone. Players select two characters from a 15-person roster and can swap instantly with a single button, enabling active tag-team combat and brief teammate pop-ins for extra attacks. The design evokes arcade-style, tag-team fighters similar to Marvel vs. Capcom while keeping action chaotic and accessible. The game releases on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series S/X, PC, Switch, and Switch 2.
