Dotemu releases MARVEL Cosmic Invasion demo on Nintendo Switch eShop and Steam
Dotemu has released a free demo for MARVEL Cosmic Invasion, offering players an early look at the developer's retro-style beat ’em up.
The demo is available to download now via the Nintendo Switch eShop and on PC through Steam, allowing fans to sample the game's core combat and co-op features before the full release.
Demo overview and playable roster
The demo includes nine playable superheroes drawn from across the Marvel Universe: Nova, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Phyla-Vell, Captain America, Storm, Venom, She-Hulk, and Rocket Raccoon.
Players can take two levels for a spin, battling through New York City and aboard a Helicarrier while facing forces commanded by Annihilus.
Local multiplayer support is included, enabling couch co-op for friends and family.
Dotemu framed the demo as a hands-on preview that lets players test the combat roster and cooperative modes.
In journalistic terms, the studio positioned the demo as an opportunity to experience two representative stages, experiment with a nine-character lineup, and try local multiplayer mechanics ahead of the full game's launch.
Developer context
Dotemu is known for reviving and modernizing retro-inspired franchises, and MARVEL Cosmic Invasion continues that focus with a classic side-scrolling beat ’em up structure updated with Marvel characters.
The company has previously been involved with high-profile retro revivals, and this demo serves as an early public checkpoint for gameplay balance and character variety.
How to access the demo
Players on Nintendo Switch can find the free demo by searching MARVEL Cosmic Invasion on the Nintendo eShop.
PC players can access the demo through the game's Steam page.
The demo package is limited to the two featured levels and supports local multiplayer; it is intended as a trial rather than a representative slice of the full game.
What to expect next
The demo offers a focused way to evaluate combat feel, character abilities, and co-op performance on Nintendo Switch and PC.
