Dotemu and Tribute Games have officially launched Marvel Cosmic Invasion, a high-energy beat 'em up now available on Nintendo Switch and the newly released Nintendo Switch 2.
The digital release is available worldwide through the Nintendo eShop, giving players the opportunity to dive into an action-packed journey rooted in Marvel's storied universe.
A physical edition is also planned for those who prefer physical collecting. Marvel Cosmic Invasion marks another successful collaboration between Dotemu, acclaimed for revitalizing retro-inspired titles, and Tribute Games, known for their expressive pixel art and dynamic gameplay design.
Working closely with Marvel Games, the developers have created an entirely original story where iconic heroes and cosmic defenders unite to halt a galaxy-spanning threat. In the game, players will encounter legendary Marvel heroes such as Spider-Man, Wolverine, She-Hulk, Captain America, Phoenix, Black Panther, Storm, and Iron Man.
These earth-born champions are joined by a powerful cosmic roster, including Rocket Raccoon, Beta Ray Bill, Venom, Cosmic Ghost Rider, Nova, Phyla-Vell, and Silver Surfer.
Together, they must face the menacing Annihilation Wave, a force led by the formidable villain Annihilus. Marvel Cosmic Invasion takes players on an interstellar journey, with battles unfolding from New York City to the mysterious Negative Zone.
Each level is infused with vibrant, full-color pixel art that pays homage to one of Marvel’s most visually striking eras.
Players can expect a love letter to fans of Marvel Comics, with environments and character designs steeped in comic book authenticity. A pivotal gameplay innovation is the Cosmic Swap tag-team system, enabling players to select and swap between two superheroes at any time during a level.
This system not only encourages creative combinations but also brings a tactical dimension to combat, allowing for unique combos and special attacks tailored to each hero's abilities.
Whether you’re playing solo or teaming up through local and online multiplayer, Marvel Cosmic Invasion's adaptive drop-in/drop-out system ensures sessions are accessible and enjoyable for everyone. A senior designer from Tribute Games noted that Marvel Cosmic Invasion was crafted as a celebration of Marvel’s legacy: "This project was a heartfelt tribute to the heroes and stories that have shaped the Marvel Universe.
We aimed to honor the spirit of comic book adventures with exciting gameplay and authentic visuals." Marvel Cosmic Invasion is now available on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 via the eShop, adding another acclaimed title to both the console and the extensive library of Marvel games.
With its star-studded roster, engaging gameplay systems, and authentic Marvel aesthetics, this new release is set to resonate with fans of both classic and contemporary beat 'em ups.
