« Playing a Marvel game in 2026 that is more in line with the comics than the MCU is such a breath of fresh air. Now Ultimate Alliance 1 needs to be brought back to Steam. »👍 anonymous review · Feb 2026 · 13 h played8111« Is a good game, but is not worth the 30$ price tag, I would wait for a 20$ discount »👍 anonymous review · Dec 2025 · 8 h played11« Good "Saturday morning cartoon" beat 'em up. Just a straightforward, classic arcade style good time. Doesn't reinvent the wheel and not incredibly deep or complex; just a feel good pick up and play game. »👍 anonymous review · Dec 2025 · 23 h played1« Extremely fun side scrolling beat'em up. Huge nostalgic trip to playing these style of games in the arcades. Super fun especially with friends, will be a great couch coop game too! »👍 anonymous review · Dec 2025 · 4 h played11« I had a great time playing it. not worth 30$ wait for a sale 8 hours or so of campaign kind of light for 30$ »👍 anonymous review · Dec 2025 · 12 h played1« This plays like if the old X Men arcade game was like I remembered it and not how it actually was. »👍 anonymous review · Dec 2025 · 9 h played111
« It's a fun game, but extremely short, little variation on enemies and heroes, weak story and no post game content. It does not worth the money... sorry. The pixel art is beautiful, but only that. »👎 anonymous review · Jan 2026 · 3 h played1111« This game is too expensive for what it is. The TMNT they made was way better than this game and more longer. 40$ CAD for this game... nah it's ok but not at this point »👎 anonymous review · Dec 2025 · 4 h played2« I wanted to like it because it's Mahvel, but it's too bare bones. No replayability, nothing really deep combat wise. Huge downgrade from Streets of Rage 4. »👎 anonymous review · Dec 2025 · 4 h played1« While a fun and dynamic beat em up, asking $30 for a game that can be beaten in under 2 hours is ridiculous. I can't recommend this as there simply isn't enough content. Pick this up only for under $5. »👎 anonymous review · Dec 2025 · 7 h played2« Marvel Cosmic Scam : 27 euros pour un jeu que tu finis en 2 heures. Moi, j’appelle ça une arnaque. Je ne recommande pas ce jeu, allez plutôt jouer à Absolum. »👎 anonymous review · Dec 2025 · 6 h played« Very nice, now let's see Alien Vs Predator business card... »👍 anonymous review · Dec 2025 · 4 h played21
