Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls has received a strongly positive review from IGN, which calls it one of the most complete fighting games since Street Fighter 6. The reviewer praises its excellent mechanics, teaching tools and netcode, alongside modes for both hardcore and casual players, arguing it can appeal to newcomers and experienced fighting-game fans alike. A patch fixing earlier PC performance problems has removed the main obstacle to recommending it without reservations.

The game is built around a 4v4 tag-fighter format in which all characters on a team share a single lifebar, a design choice that simplifies the interface, keeps matches from running too long, and lowers the barrier to entry by removing the need to master multiple characters. The reviewer highlights how the system rewards both single-character mastery and thoughtful team-building around synergies and assists, and describes gradually expanding their own team from one character to four as a natural, well-paced learning process that they feel exemplifies good fighting-game design.
