The resurgence of the Beat-em-up genre in the last few years has been amazing to see and part of that can be attributed to French studio DotEmu who along with Guard Crush and Tribute Games brought the world Streets of Rage 4 and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge. Two games that sold well and received incredible reception. Leading to earlier this year when they went a step further and created a game based on an original IP with a Roguelike twist in Absolum. In a few weeks, the highly anticipated Marvel Cosmic Invasion looks to be the next hit for the team and Microsoft has taken a step to capitalize on that by striking a deal to bring it to Xbox Game Pass on day one.
Marvel Cosmic Invasion takes the modern enhancements from the above aforementioned games and meshes them with the Marvel Beatemups of yesteryear such as the X-Men Arcade game or Captain America and The First Avengers. Gamers can play solo or as part of a group of up to three other players in co-op play. Marvel Cosmic Invasion provides accurate representation of favorite comic book characters like Spider-Man, Wolverine, Captain America, Iron Man and 11 others that are part of the launch roster. Each character has their own basic attacks, power moves, and even a major special attack. The dev team even went as far as ensuring each character had their own specific walk too.
There are other neat additions in this group as well, including the much anticipated indie title Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault, the underrated Action game gem from last year, Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden, and narrative title Lost Records: Bloom & Rage.
