1 day agoReview: Marvel Cosmic Invasion' revives an arcade beat-'em-up experience
Tribute's Marvel Cosmic Invasion takes the formula from Shredder's Revenge and applies it to the X-Men arcade game, a legendary beat-'em-up that supported up to six players on a two-screen cabinet. That tech was advanced for its time, but nowadays, the wide-screen format doesn't stand out as much. Instead, Tribute pushed what's capable in the gameplay. The 1990s beat-'em-up had simpler mechanics with three buttons for jumping, attacking and a super move that was powerful but consumed health.
