MARVEL Cosmic Invasion

 
MARVEL Cosmic Invasion is a vibrant, retro-inspired beat ’em up developed by Tribute Games and published by Dotemu, the team behind TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge. Released on December 1, 2025, it pays homage to the classic “Annihilation” comic storyline. Players battle across the galaxy, from New York to the Negative Zone, to stop Annihilus and his insectoid wave. With stunning pixel art, a massive roster of 15 heroes, and chaotic co-op action, it captures the spirit of ’90s arcade brawlers with modern polish.

Cosmic Invasion vs Shredder’s Revenge

Vs. TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge: Both games share the same developer and polished pixel art style. However, Cosmic Invasion adds the “Cosmic Swap” tag mechanic, adding a layer of strategy that TMNT lacked.
Vs. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: While both feature large rosters and co-op, Cosmic Invasion is a 2D side-scroller focused on combo skill and reflex, whereas MUA3 is a 3D isometric RPG focused on stats and gear.
