Push Square's editor is sharing impressions of the ongoing beta for Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, Arc System Works' upcoming anime-style fighting game featuring Marvel characters, and is asking readers whether they plan to buy it. The piece matters as an early gauge of interest ahead of the PS5 and PC release, expected as soon as next month, and highlights both the strengths and rough edges players are encountering during testing.

The writer praises the game's anime-inspired visual spectacle and single-player Episodes mode, which uses different comic artists for each of five character storylines, including Betten Court on Spider-Man's tale. However, they raise concerns about the default control scheme, the split assist/tag button mapping, and inconsistent rollback netcode performance, though they note Arc System Works appears responsive to community feedback. An accompanying reader poll of 51 votes found 61% not interested in buying the game, with smaller shares split between pre-ordering, planning to buy at or after launch, or remaining undecided.
