The story aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing disappointment over the recent changes that limit character selection in story mode to just three heroes: Captain America, Iron Man, and Black Widow. While some appreciate the graphics and the cinematic elements of the new story, others find the difficulty level frustrating and feel that the narrative has become less engaging compared to previous versions. Additionally, players are calling for more diverse storylines and missions, as well as improvements to the overall gameplay experience, particularly regarding the balance between free-to-play and pay-to-win elements.
“The game is amazing, but I just don't like that the story is so few and too quick.”
“This is the best Marvel game I've ever played. I love story missions, epic quests, characters, animations, etc. Basically, I love everything about this game.”
“The storyline is well developed, the graphics are stunning, and it barely takes any time to load.”
“The new story mode is terribly bad; online play is laggy as hell, and I can't tell what you are doing because the screen stops all the time.”
“I really liked the old campaign mode, but they deleted it and replaced it with a so-so alternative. They completely changed the story and shortened it a bit just to add a few cutscenes.”
“I miss the old gameplay; I miss that long ago you could play story mode with custom characters. Now you have to do it with only three characters.”

The graphics in this game are widely praised for their high quality and attention to detail, often compared to console-level visuals. Players appreciate the vibrant character designs and smooth animations, which enhance the overall gameplay experience. However, some users report performance issues, such as lag and crashes, particularly on lower-end devices or during intense action sequences, suggesting that while the graphics are impressive, optimization could be improved.
“The graphics are amazing, the controls are very easy, and the gameplay is very smooth and solid. It reminds me of when I used to play Ultimate Alliance, so many memories, and I'm so glad it's on a mobile game app.”
“The graphics are stunning, looking like a PC game. This game has been my favorite since it has nice cosplay and nice graphics.”
“The graphics are incredible and the characters are amazing. I definitely recommend this game for all Marvel fans.”

“The graphics sucks, I am disappointed, a Marvel fan but playing this game the graphics is like in 360p so 2 stars.”
“I like this game but it needs some improvement in graphics as compared to Marvel Future Revolution so I just cut one star for graphics.”

The gameplay of the game is generally praised for its fun mechanics, smooth controls, and impressive graphics, making it engaging for players. However, many users express frustration with the game's pay-to-win elements, frequent crashes, and repetitive nature, which can detract from the overall experience. While the variety of characters and modes is appreciated, the balance between free-to-play accessibility and monetization remains a significant concern among players.
“The gameplay is amazing, and the story mode changes are fabulous aside from not letting us skip dialogue.”
“Gameplay is pretty fast and aggressive too, racking up combos on enemies is cool.”
“The gameplay is fun, the graphics are stunning and it's overall a very enjoyable experience.”
“After certain patches in the last 4 to 5 months, the game is still crashing a lot. Every time it loads to enter any gameplay, it just crashes. This happens in every single game mode. Please fix this, as I can't even play for 2 minutes without issues.”
“The gameplay has become incredibly stale with no content improvements unless it's to milk players for money. The gameplay is repetitive and feels like a chore, with many tasks that drain the enjoyment out of playing.”
“The gameplay is broken, with paid uniforms increasing your damage and creating a clear advantage for those who spend money. This makes it impossible for free-to-play players to compete effectively.”

The monetization aspect of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many players labeling it a "cash grab" due to the prevalence of microtransactions and in-game ads. While some users appreciate the ability to progress without spending money, the overall sentiment reflects frustration over expensive in-app purchases, aggressive monetization tactics, and a perceived shift towards a pay-to-win model, particularly with recent updates introducing costly systems. Despite occasional praise for gameplay and character variety, the overwhelming consensus is that the game's monetization strategy detracts from the overall experience.
“There are many different modes, all of which are fun to play, and, incredibly, you can still have a fun time without in-app purchases, something nearly unheard of in a mobile game!”
“In-game purchases are at nice and fair prices should anyone wish to spend money on the game.”
“All characters are obtainable without in-game purchases, which is a huge bonus.”
“The game itself deserves at least 4 stars, I would argue even 5 if the minor problems with each update are neglected, but it's plagued with pointless microtransactions, annoying ads for said microtransactions, and a progression system designed around the same.”
“Unfortunately, despite some impressive new features and characters, the game has fallen into the pitfall of the corporate monetization system, even to the point where once all characters could be obtained over time are now locked behind the crystal lockboxes.”
“This latest update is tone-deaf and a clear cash grab; it's ruining the fun and making the game feel pay-to-win.”

The grinding aspect of the game is widely criticized for being excessively tedious and time-consuming, often requiring players to invest significant hours daily to progress, especially for free-to-play users. Many reviews highlight a frustrating balance between grinding and pay-to-win mechanics, where substantial real-money spending is often necessary to keep up with character upgrades and content. While some players appreciate the depth and variety of characters, the overall sentiment leans towards the grinding experience feeling more like a chore than an enjoyable part of gameplay.
“This game's only redeeming quality is the vast selection of characters and uniforms, but it doesn't really matter when you spend months grinding a character that can't even help you beat content.”
“The game is fun but it requires way too much grinding and takes forever to get a character to rank 3; missions barely give you any loot.”
“Game progression is tedious, the UI is bloated and confusing.”

The game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with many players experiencing frequent crashes, especially during boss battles, and significant lag on lower-end devices.

“The graphics performance of the Marvel roster is top-notch, truly.”

“This game is good but it takes too much updating, and takes more time to start playing. Graphics and controlling are good, but this game needs shorter updates and better performance.”
“The game appears to be constantly pinging servers during timed PvE battles, resulting in the loss of precious seconds while the battle pauses waiting for connection, which significantly affects battle performance and rewards.”
“Memory usage and optimization is very poor; even on a top-end device, there are huge amounts of rendering latency and frame drops when effects start happening.”

“Amazing graphics, music, and just outright fun.”

“Guys, right after the update, I'm not hearing any music or sound effects at all. Y'all need to patch that up and fix it.”
“The music is broken; I demand it to be fixed.”

Character development in the game is praised for its fantastic design, detailed backgrounds, and engaging gameplay, with many players expressing satisfaction with the visual quality and variety of characters. However, there are significant concerns regarding the pay-to-win model, which creates a disparity between free-to-play and paying players, making character progression feel complex and often frustrating. Overall, while the character designs and updates are well-received, the game's monetization strategy detracts from the experience for many users.
“Fantastic character development.”
“Story is amazing and character design is just as well, with a bit of background on each character, new outfits, ultimate skills... loving nerdgasm.”
“Still, the improvements and character development will keep you satisfied for a long time.”
“For Marvel fans, there are many characters to play with, but there is a huge difference between free-to-play (F2P) players and those who spend money. The numerous aspects of character development make it complex and boring rather than challenging.”
“Crystal farming is so difficult, and character development is so expensive. You can't win without a strong character and a good uniform. I would not recommend you to play this game; it only wants your time, money, crystals, and gold.”
“The graphics, gameplay, character designs, and animation are top quality, but it is not really free-to-play (F2P) friendly to power up characters with the latest content due to the quick updates and meta shifts, along with such low daily crystals and event rewards.”
