What it's about
A classic hero's journey where heroes reunite to defeat a great evil and save the world. Reuniting fractured team bonds and friendship among the Avengers is narrative-central. Technology-driven Marvel setting with advanced devices and speculative elements.
How it plays
Fast, flashy melee combat against waves of enemies is the primary moment-to-moment gameplay system across all playable heroes.

Randomized gear drops with varying rarity and power are core to the progression and reward loop.
