by

Marvel, Dotemu, and Tribute Games just released a new trailer showcasing the making of MARVEL Cosmic Invasion. The trailer highlights how the game aims to capture the feel of classic arcade beat ’em ups while also offering a modern gameplay experience for today’s players.

Developers Break Down the Gameplay

The new trailer shows the team at Tribute Games discussing their design process for the game, and how they aimed to blend familiar, classic elements with fresh ideas.
