Marvel multiverse unites
As far as the story goes, the premise of MARVEL Future Fight is that a group of villains are out to
destroy the multiverse.
It is up to you, the player, to assemble a group of
both Marvel heroes and villains
to fight the war. Don’t worry, though, as S.H.I.E.L.D director Nick Fury will send his robotic aid,
Jocasta
, back in time to aid your team and assist you in new missions while you figure out what exactly is going on.
At the start of the game, you will start with a humble team boasting Black Widow, Iron Man, and Captain America. By the time you finish the tutorial, Hawkeye will be added to your team. Eventually, you will be able to
unlock other Marvel characters
, including Spider-Man, Ghost Rider, Loki, and the members of the Guardians of the Galaxy. MARVEL Future Fight has more than
200 superheroes and villains
from the multiverse, so you are sure to
assemble the ultimate team
.
You can unlock these characters by
collecting Biometrics
, which you can do by completing missions or purchasing boxes with
randomly generated rewards
. Aside from unboxing new members of your team, you can also use this Biometrics to
level up
your collected characters. You can boost their basic stat or equip them with gems to improve their abilities. You can also have them
master new techniques
that weren’t in their usual repertoire.
The character collection part of the game is pretty much
anything goes
. But, if you build
classic teams
like Avengers or X-men, you can take advantage of
special bonus effects
.
Not your usual Marvel game
There are various Marvel-inspired mobile games, and most of them are F2P. But what sets MARVEL Future Fight apart is that it has
actual gameplay
. At its core, it is a
straightforward brawler
. It’s a light version of
Diablo
or a simplified version of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. The game would have been a dungeon crawler, but the levels aren’t complex enough.
You can play the game using either the
touch controls
or the
virtual joystick
. Surprisingly, the virtual joystick isn’t the traditional pretend joystick that most mobile game has. It actually
works super well
. The thumbstick located on the left side of the screen moves where your thumb meets the glass. With this, you don’t have to look down often to see if your thumb has drifted off.
You can
switch characters
with a quick tap. And doing so in clever succession can result in some
pretty good combos
. You can also unlock a
team ability
as well as a
Striker Companion
, which is a character from your friend’s list that you can call for a brief period of co-op fisticuffs.
As mentioned, MARVEL Future Fight was
penned by Peter David
. The game carries
nine main stories
packed with missions each. But, while the full campaign is long enough, you can also take on a version of every chapter that’s had the difficulty level cranked way up. You can also try the
Dimension Rift
missions that let you explore and unlock new characters or the
Villain Siege missions
, which is a competitive three-on-three battle.
Assemble your Marvel squad
MARVEL Future Fight is, surprisingly, a great mobile game. There is
plenty of meat
in the game that will keep players coming back for more. Aside from solid gameplay, it also has a
great soundtrack
and
fantastic animations
to make it a very nice brawler. There are still the limitations of the free-to-play model, but all in all, this one is
worth your time and attention
.
