I enjoy playing them. I am not good at the genre. Anything online requires me to adapt to players far beyond my skill level, and it\u2019s almost pointless for me to attempt to reach that level. I just don\u2019t have the time or patience to do it, but that doesn\u2019t mean I can\u2019t praise a game when it smashes it out of the park. After waiting for almost a decade for Injustice 3, Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is keeping me occupied, and, to be honest, it may even be better than NetherRealm Studios\u2019 take.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While they share the same core DNA, they\u2019re fairly different takes on fighting games. Marvel Tokon is a tag-team-centric fighter, similar to Arc System Works\u2019 Dragon Ball FighterZ, while Injustice 2 takes the familiar one-on-one approach that games like Mortal Kombat deliver. Same genre, different niche, and while I typically prefer the style that NetherRealm offers, Marvel Tokon has turned me into a tag-fighter player.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Playing as the various Marvel superheroes, each with a distinct style developed by Arc System Works, makes every match feel distinct. While the story modes are essentially fights with various teams, interspersed with cinematic and comic book-style storytelling, they do a good job of teaching you the game\u2019s mechanics. I <em>do<\/em> prefer the Injustice or Mortal Kombat style of fighting game stories, but this gives you a way to play with all of the teams in the game.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MARVEL Tokon: Fighting Souls - Official Launch Trailer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vBw6b8VGPxk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, I have spent most of my time (see: a ridiculous amount) playing the Arcadia Rumble mode. In it, you pick your characters, customize your avatar (I have an Anti-Venom-style Spider-Man holding Captain America\u2019s Shield and Deadpool\u2019s Katana), and compete against other players to collect shards and level up your perks. There are also Mario Kart-style power-ups that can unleash attacks on other players, earning you stars that you need to win. Each avatar-led round concludes with a fighting session, where you can earn more stars based on the KOs you get.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s easily the most energetic mode I\u2019ve seen in a fighting game, and it\u2019s an absolute chaos-fest that alone makes the admission price worth it. That\u2019s not even taking into account the story mode, arcade modes, and general online matches that every fighting game <em>should<\/em> offer. With the recent PC fixes, it\u2019s also in great shape, making it a solid purchase for those waiting on the next MCU films, or, if you\u2019re like me, a coping mechanism as you hope for Injustice 3 to finally be revealed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fortunately, if you want to give it a try, you can buy Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls for just $53.99 \/ \u00a353.99 at Fanatical, netting you a 10% discount on the retail price. For a fresh release, that\u2019s a great way to get it cheaper, and you still get a Steam key to add the game to your library-no extra launcher downloads required.
