The epic clash between two storied universes returns with Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, the next era of the highly revered action-fighting game series. Marvel and Capcom universes collide like never before as iconic characters team up for action-packed player-versus-player combat.
Imagined and created through a shared vision between the two companies, Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite will feature a variety of exciting and accessible single player modes and rich multi-player content for new players and longtime fans alike. In addition to single player Arcade, Training and Mission modes, a visually stunning and immersive cinematic Story Mode will put players at the center of both universes as they battle for survival against a sinister new threat, Ultron Sigma. Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is being built to highlight a combination of iconic locations and fan favorite characters from both universes, including Captain Marvel and Iron Man from the Marvel side, and Ryu and Mega Man X from Capcom.
GAMEPLAY FEATURES
Reborn Rivalries: Universes collide once again in this all-new crossover clash for the ages, where players select their favorite Marvel and Capcom characters and engage in accessible and free-form 2v2 team battles, which allow for new gameplay dynamics never-before-seen in the franchise.
Infinite Power: Choose one of the six powerful Infinity Stones from the Marvel Universe to influence the outcome of battle. Each Infinity Stone will customize characters with unique abilities and powerful game-changing effects that can quickly turn the tide of battle.
Iconic Heroes: More characters join the announce roster (Captain Marvel, Iron Man, Captain America, Ryu, Mega Man X and Morrigan) in the battle for survival, including Hulk, Thor, Hawkeye, Rocket Raccoon, Chun-Li, Strider Hiryu, Chris Redfield and Ultron, bringing the current roster up to 14 characters with more to be revealed in the future.
Cinematic Story: The Marvel and Capcom universes collide as heroes and villains battle together to save their merged worlds from a sinister new threat, Ultron Sigma. A combination of the robotic foes known as Ultron from the Marvel Universe and Sigma from the Capcom Universe, this psychotic villain is obsessed with infecting all organic life with a cybernetic virus. History’s greatest gathering of warriors must now unite to fight back against Ultron Sigma and save their newly formed world.
Accessible Single Player Content: In addition to the cinematic story experience, players can hone their skills in a variety of accessible single player modes, including Training, Mission, and Arcade modes.
Vast Multiplayer Features: Robust online modes and content including ranked and casual matches, global leaderboards, and online lobbies with spectator mode deepen the overall experience.
For the current price of £21.22, it is an absolute must buy for the casual fighting game player. If you can look past the awkward character designs and cheesy story, therein lies a truly amazing fighter.
Exhilarating Gameplay.
The characters that did make the roster are mostly well realised.
Great Netcode.
Aggresively accessible while still respecting the player, allowing them to turn off the added accessibility features.
Infinity Stones lead to interesting situations in-game that test your ability to adapt as a player.
No real support for non-16:9 resolutions.
Lackluster roster compared to what came before.
Some characters look like freaks of nature. The graphics at times evoke the aesthetic of the PS3 era.
Long and frequent loading screens in Story Mode.

Given how terrible Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite looked during development, I had extremely low expectations for this.
Yes, the visuals are sub-par at best, yes, the roster is kind of lame, especially on the Marvel side, and yes, there isn't much single player content.
But at the end of the day, none of that really matters. What matters is how fun the game is, and, how well it runs. As it turns out, it's very, very fun. The game mechanics are wide open and pretty much allow you to do whatever you want, which is fantastic.
Surprisingly, Capcom also finally managed to write good netcode. Actually, it's not just good, it's great. Maybe not quite on par with Killer Instinct (which is as good as it gets as far as fighting game netcode is concerned), but it's actually quite close, and years ahead of the garbage that was Street Fighter V's netcode.
After Street Fighter V, it's very hard for the fighting game community to admit that Capcom can still make a good fighting game. But they did. This game has great game mechanics, and great online, which is ultimately all that really matters.
