Play Overview
Marvel Contest of Champions (2014) is a fighting game where you collect teams of Marvel characters to fight against computer-controlled characters. The fights are one versus one that work through increasingly harder opponents. It's novel because you can form alliances with other online players to go head-to-head against other players' teams, although all fights are against the computer and not other players.
You are tasked by "The Collector", a godlike figure in the Marvel universe, to assemble a team of heroes and villains to fight in the Contest of Champions. The game is updated over time to bring in characters from various Marvel films and TV shows as they are released. Trying to collect these heroes along with the many others you can obtain is a large incentive to play.
Each character has their own special abilities and traits which can help give more experienced players the edge. There are 6 different attacks per character, and you can also block and dash to avoid enemy moves. Characters' abilities can be upgraded, and each character can be obtained in different tiers of strength, ranging from 1 to 6 stars. The more stars your character has, the stronger they are and more helpful they might be.
Even after several years, thanks to the constant stream of new characters (usually 2 per month) that tie into the current Marvel trends and a wide variety of YouTubers and content creators that focus on the game, as well as the fun and engaging cycle of fighting and upgrading your characters, the game is as popular as ever and worth a look for anyone into Marvel or fighting games.
