There’s a timelessness to the arcade beat 'em up, and developer Tribute Games seems set on making sure that today’s players never forget that fact. A little over three years after the excellent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, the studio has crafted another instant arcade classic that feels pulled from an alternative timeline where quarter-munching machines never went out of style.
Marvel Cosmic Invasion isn’t doing anything you haven’t seen before. It takes the beloved comic book imprint and converts it into a playable Saturday morning cartoon. It’s the perfect amount of goofy and lovingly referential to the source material. It’s also endlessly fun and replayable thanks to a huge roster of distinct characters and challenges.
