Featuring a mega-popular IP and a dev team with an impressive resume (we’re talking Killer Instinct!), see whether Invincible VS nails the superhero landing with our review…
Invincible VS Review
When thinking a fighting game with three-on-three bouts, Marvel vs. Capcom immediately comes to mind, right?
Needless to say, Invincible VS will also take you for ride with its non-stop action and wombo combo launchers-a-plenty.
Featuring character “functions” like Rushdown, Zoner, Mixup, Mobility, and Striker, Invincible VS’ roster packs the punch to properly punish.
No need to worry about clones among its ranks – unless we’re talking Dupli-Kate. Characters like the larger-than-life Monster Girl easily differentiate themselves from Rex Splode and his explosive F-bombs.
We mean that last part literally!
However, the action in Invincible VS also packs a different flavor, one that hits harder. Sure, “ukemi”-style mid-air recoveries, active tags, and snapbacks are all familiar to FGC vets, but each attack in this title carries far more weight.
This is also apparent with Invincible VS’ over-the-top “Overkill” finishers.
After all, it’s not enough to defeat your opponent; you have to make heads roll.
We mean that part literally too!
Of course, tied to the red-hot comic and Amazon Invincible show, Invincible VS also makes sure each character gets the love they so rightfully deserve.
Between its custom SNK-style intros that are character specific, its top-tier voice acting, and its countless Easter eggs, fans are properly covered.
The same can be said for Invincible VS’ solid control scheme. Featuring a light, medium, heavy, and special button, maneuvers are easy to understand and pack great potential we can’t wait to see unfold in the coming weeks/months/years.
However, looking at Invincible VS at launch, this package is a bit spartan.
Long load times (even when factoring in post-launch patches), a standard Ladder Match Arcade Mode, a roster with less than 20 characters, and a handful of stages mean this release could use more variety.
However, tapping into its wildly popular comic and animation roots, Invincible VS also features a Story Mode featuring a standalone narrative that determines the fate of the planet. While fairly straightforward with story bits between fights, it is welcome nonetheless.
Also tapping into its comic roots, Invincible VS also features an Extras mode features an Art Gallery, Comic Covers, and more – always a nice touch.
Making players feel strong, Invincible VS will take you for a ride with its heavy-hitting action – even if it could use a bit more content.
