MARVEL Cosmic Invasion
Marvel Cosmic Invasion is a side-scrolling beat 'em up featuring 15 playable Marvel heroes. Designed in the style of classic 1990s arcade brawlers, the game allows players to switch between two characters mid-battle using the Cosmic Swap mechanic.

Review coverage
Critic signal strength
Numeric critic scoring uses full scored reviews once available. Review-in-progress scores act as temporary early signal only until full review scores exist. Unscored reviews still count as coverage, but they are not included in the critic average.
