Marvel Cosmic Invasion is a swell brawler from the folks at Tribute Games and Dotemu that came out in December of last year. The game is stuffed with a mixture of Marvel big guns like Spider-Man and Wolverine, as well as lesser-known fan favorites like Beta Ray Bill and Nova. If you fancied seeing the roster in an even wider array of colorways than what the game launched with, you’re in luck, as Dotemu just dropped a massive update that brings looks from six other Marvel games to Cosmic Invasion. Take a gander:
Here’s the breakdown of characters and which game they’re drawing inspiration from:
- Marvel Rivals – Spider-Man and Venom
- Marvel Snap – Black Panther and Rocket Raccoon
- Marvel Strike Force – She-Hulk and Wolverine
- Marvel Future Fight – Captain America and Nova
- Marvel Contest of Champions – Phyla-Vell and Beta Ray Bill
- Marvel Puzzle Quest – Storm and Iron Man
Besides the palettes, Cosmic Invasion has also made some adjustments under the hood, tweaking and altering gameplay in a number of different ways. Let’s dig into the patch notes:
New Features!
- Hero Lab Upgrades – with new palette previews to help you get a great view of new cosmetic options, and a new Team Level indicator.
- Tweaked Arcade Modifiers – swinging into danger with modifications. The Double HP modifier is now an HP Multiplier – where enemy HP can now be multiplied by 0.5, 1, 2 or 3 times their standard amount!
Gameplay Improvements!
We’ve made a number of visual changes based on your feedback, designed to make it easier for you to keep up with the on-screen action, including:
- Heroes will now be highlighted when HP is low
- The Focus bar has been split to make it easier to read
- Special Damage number visuals have been changed to red – making them easier to identify
- The Heteropteron Level Larva Bug has been tweaked to make the enemy stand out. In addition, we’ve added flashes on the Larva during throw animations and introduced colour cycling effects on the attack!
We’ve also taken some time to go back for further balancing on boss fights, tweaking these to provide a little more fair play:
- Hela – Increasing cooldowns for both Grudge and Hellblades attacks.
- Venom – Reducing block and parry actions and removing combo parry, increasing reaction cooldown, lowering damage on the Bite attack and removing some post-Grudge attacks.
- Phyla-Vell – Reducing block actions and lowering chance of using Cosmic Attack. We’ve also added cooldown on some attacks, increased the cooldown on cosmic Fury and lengthened the initial block action to prevent instant parry.
There’s even more than what’s listed here, including bug fixes, which you can find out all about by going to this link. Have you been playing and enjoying Marvel Cosmic Invasion? What do you think of the changes? Share with us in the comments and on social media!
