Polygon's review of Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, developed by Arc System Works, assesses how the new tag-team fighting game measures up against the shadow of Marvel vs. Capcom. Rather than replicating that series' fast, single-character combat, Tokon shifts the focus to team coordination between four Marvel characters, a design choice the reviewer credits with making the game distinctive while appealing to both series veterans and newcomers drawn in by the Marvel license.

Players control one "point" character at a time while calling on team-mates for assists or swaps, with all four characters sharing a single health bar rather than being knocked out individually. Matches begin with only two of four team members available, with the rest unlocked by losing rounds or performing "wall breaks", creating a gradual build in intensity and power as a fight progresses. The review praises characters such as Captain America, Loki, Black Panther and Spider-Man for distinctive, comic-accurate movesets, though it notes the game is held back by significant technical issues, particularly on PC, which prevent it from reaching its full potential.
