These introductory missions are inevitably ended by meeting a version of your character from a different dimension, “The time has come for you to guard more than one galaxy.” The heroes seem all too happy to ditch their current goals and loved ones to zip off on a dimension hopping adventure. Many of the cast, such as Yuri Lowenthal’s Spiderman, are reprised roles from previous games. I’ll admit I had to resort to Google to make sure that it wasn’t the real Ian McKellen voicing Magneto (the impression was that good). These introductory missions, while short, each have their own unique feel, setting, great dialogue, hero-specific soundtracks, and voice acting which could very easily pass for the real deal. From there, players select one of their heroes and are met with character-unique introductory meetings explaining the hero’s journey into the Omega Flight command hub. Choose Your Heroīefore the main game truly kicks off, players get to design their Hero Squad – their own unique unalterable assembly of Avengers. ![]() And we enjoyed blasting every one of them. ![]() The enemies post-Convergence are a veritable smorgasbord of villains and antiheroes from the modern movies and comics. While we have to question the editorial decision to position the masked people shouting “Science will Save Us” as the villains during a pandemic, we’re happy to put that down to an oversight. ![]() The opening pre-Convergence scenes feature fights against the evil forces of M.O.D.O.K. The plot may not be entirely airtight, but hey we can forgive that when it means we get to see a dozen different awesome variations of Groot. Marvel Future Revolution is based around the concept of The Convergence wherein Earths from different dimensions are joined together to create a multi-Earth mashup that is in equal parts fascinating, harmonious, and hellish. Providing the perfect excuse for a whole Silicon Valley’s worth of Iron Men, a platoon of Captains America, and a veritable meteorological cluster of Storms trapesing about. And that’s good news because multiverses make a great setting for an RPG with MMO elements. And yet as all the latest and upcoming blockbusters have promised us (as well as other brilliant Marvel media like Spiderman: Into the Spider-verse), multidimensional shenanigans are very much the dish of the day. A Meeting of WorldsĪs fans of Marvel comics will know, the idea of the multiverse is far from new. At this stage, the characters have all of their skills and ultimates temporarily unlocked for this epic introduction jampacked with tension, boss fights, and Marvel’s classic one-liners.Īs you dodge passed obstacles, zip your way through the crumbling city, witness noble sacrifices, and combine your skills with other characters in a constantly changing squad, you cannot help but see the game’s potential. Yep, you read that right – the X-Men’s Storm – right next to Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel, and the rest of the gang. These opening scenes are a gripping, flawless, 10/10 mobile gaming experience.ĭuring this time, players are treated to quick transitions between Spidey, Ironman, Captain America, Black Widow, Star-Lord and Storm. The real action begins with a series of awesome cinematics, interactive cutscenes that require you to dodge dangers, and fast-paced battles racing against multi-planetary destruction. As the (equally Hulkish) patches are downloading, waiting players are treated to a great side-scrolling pixel-art minigame to while away the time. After clearing up enough free space on my phone (the game is Hulk-sized) I was met with an introductory animation showing off the Guardians of the Galaxy in stunning high-definition. The Gangs All HereĪs far as first impressions go, MARVEL Future Revolution blew me away at every turn. And Marvel Future Revolution is the mobile gaming equivalent in more ways than one. And yet for every Thor: The Dark World, there is a Civil War. ![]() Having played and reviewed Marvel’s other mobile titles such as MARVEL Realm of Champions, a game I’d scored a frankly generous 6/10, my expectations were not high. There was one problem, I’d heard it all before… Throw in the Marvel multiverse and you could consider me sold on the whole experience. As a regular writer for, I’ve played my share of open-world action multiplayer RPGs, but the experience of playing a fully-fledged high-budget mobile iteration was a new and intriguing prospect.
