The game plays like any other action game. Each hero’s unique attacks and skills, makes the game feel diverse and give fans a familiar Marvel experience. The combat works wonders, depending on which hero players use, the combat feels completely different. The game is more than just a fanservice project. The pace of the combat is quite satisfying, combined with the many objects and environments, players do get to feel like their favorite Avenger.

Despite not being able to try out more in-depth features of the game including the hero skill trees and customizable outfits, the game still showed great potential. The graphics, despite being just in the alpha stage, still looks incredible.

The lowest point of the demo was the quick time event during the boss fight. Though the sequence was not the main point of the fight, it still felt slightly dragged out, making what was supposed to be an epic conclusion to the prologue seem slightly disappointing and routine.
