Explained simply
Marvel Cosmic Invasion is an arcade-style action game featuring characters from Marvel’s superhero universe. Players control a team of heroes and fight enemies across a series of stages.
Doctor Doom is a long-running Marvel villain and the ruler of Latveria, a fictional country. He is known for combining advanced technology with magic, and often clashes with heroes such as the Fantastic Four, which includes Sue Storm.
The game’s new add-on is set around Castle Doom, the villain’s stronghold. Its repeat-run format draws on the roguelite genre, where players try again after defeat and can carry some upgrades or rewards between attempts.
