Marvel Tokon features a brand-new 4v4 fighting system.

The short version

  • But if you want a classic 3v3 tag fighter, Dragon Ball FighterZ has everything you need.
  • Arc System Works has another hit on its hands in Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls .
  • It survived a rough Windows PC launch on its way to half a million copies sold and an 86 on Metacritic , though reviewers have largely only played the PlayStation 5 version.

What happened

The anime-inspired fighter pits 21 of your favorite Marvel characters against each other, and breaks new ground for the genre with its four-person teams sharing one health bar. Those 4v4 matches are a departure from traditional tag fighters, especially as you have to unlock access to half your team members over the course of a match.

Why it matters

If you’re not vibing with Marvel Tokon ’s new mechanics, or just want to revisit a classic fighter from yesteryear, well, that’s exactly what Arc System Works has cut its teeth on.
