The general sentiment of the reviews showcases a love-hate relationship with the game. Players praise the character variety, artistic design, and consistent updates, especially appreciating the chance to play as Marvel's iconic heroes. However, the game is heavily criticized for its matchmaking and ranking system, performance issues, and 'toxic' community. Monetization practices are also a point of contention, seen both as fairly accessible and heavily commercial. Overall, while some players find the game 'better than Overwatch,' others are disillusioned by what they perceive as the game's significant flaws.

  • The game is recognized for its artistic style and attention to detail in character design, particularly from a Marvel fan perspective.

  • Free-to-play aspects, with heroes available without paywalls, and opportunities to earn cosmetics without spending real money.
