    Review:
    I was invited to the open beta for this game, played for a couple weeks, and left. Was very disappointed in the initial experience. Especially my personally favorite hero, Hulk.

    Then I came back about 3 months ago, and what a completely different experience. Between the new game modes (midtown Manhattan, X Defense), additional difficulty levels, variety of gameplay among the heroes, the 52 Reviews of existing heroes, it is a completely different experience. Not to mention the events that Gaz has! Between buffed loot drops, buy-one-get-one on costumes/heroes, etc, almost every week has something going on.

    I can't emphasize how varied the heroes gameplay is. As soon as I get one to cap, I look forward to leveling another one.

    Another huge difference they have now from launch is how easy it is to get heroes. Costumes and heroes were very overpriced (in my opinion) at launch. Now, they are much cheaper, and you can grind an in game currency to purchase them as well.

    The only reason this is a 9 and not a 10: needs a bit more client optimization, and there's definitely some lag that occurs whenever too many heroes are on screen.    … Expand

    Not that I've been around for much of MH's development, but it is clear to me that Gazillion is a company that strives to make a quality game, despite their shaky beginnings. What I enjoy most about MH is the integration of both ARPG and MMO elements, and how Gaz has seamlessly blended the two into a game with highly compelling mechanics, and a rich social and multiplayer interface.

The regular, steady addition of content doesn't hurt either.

    The game is not perfect, of course. Optimization remains muddled, as well as some ugly leftovers on the UI from the beginning of the game's development. However, this is a titanic undertaking for a new studio, and Gaz is doing quite well given their circumstances. Highly worth a play!    … Expand

    When I first played this game in beta I thought it was pretty boring, but in the year since then they have improved by leaps and bounds. There is so much stuff to do and heroes to play as, and they are constantly adding more. Looking forward to checking out the new raid and getting my Omega Points up! Get yourself a Squirrel Girl and go crazy throwing squirrels in villains faces.

    Easily the best ARPG out there, with events and MMO elements being the icing on the cake. The free to play model is really generous too, nothing is locked behind a paywall except for some 100% cosmetic stuff.
    Everyone should atleast give it a try.

    I started in beta and I flat out didn't like it. So many issues, characters were buggy and it looked like a cash grab. Fastforward to now and they're different games, with amazing characters, graphics, and voice over work.

These guys live and breathe Marvel Heroes, and it shines through every single day.

    With the addition of the Omega System (an alternate advancement system), new heroes every month, and the newly added Raids, there is no other game or company doing what these guys are doing.

    Had serious issues when it was first released, but a year on with a new coat of paint and a lot of attention, this has turned into a hell of a ARPG, it's fast paced.. varied and has that marvel comic book feel we all know and love, if you tried Marvel Heroes a year ago.. I implore you to try it again now, it's a different game and it is SO much better :)

There's a good variety of gameplay from solo questing, group events, open world fighting, PVP, and now raids. The background is well done and the characters are diverse and interesting. The devs are also highly involved and enthusiastic. Sometimes you see devs and wonder if they've ever played the game. These guys "get it."

    It also has that impossible to define fun factor. I look forward to playing and there always seems to be something to do. In the last year, there have been three games (FFXIV, D3, MH) that have turned themselves around 180 and gone from poor or mediocre to good or great. Of them, MH is almost certainly the best.

    This is a free to play game with a cash shop, but spending money is almost entirely optional. The big pay items are heroes, costumes, and storage. The only real "gameplay" element that most people will want to spend money on is storage. Costumes are very rare drops, but completely cosmetic. Heroes come at a very regular pace. By the time you've leveled one to 60, you will almost certainly have enough shards to buy another.    … Expand

    Marvel Heroes is what Diablo 3 could have been. The game has come a long, long way the past year, and is constantly being added to. The Developers not only read the forums and their private messages, but they also respond to ideas/critiques/issues/pm's. Far and away the best development team in any game I've ever played.

    Gazillion has done a very impressive job fixing what made the original launch of this game so poor. The community managers are in pretty constant communication with the fans, the game has scaled in content both laterally and vertically, and older heroes are being rechecked and retuned to be competitive with newer heroes.

    I give it a 9 just cause I can't say the game is perfect yet, it has improved greatly since its launch one year ago. But still lacks optimization and the minimun system requeriments they stated aren't quite enough to play a big part of the content. Besides that the game is fun and awesome, f2p and really far from ever becoming p2w totally worth a try :)

    Marvel Heroes was not very good when it launched. Even the devs agree it should have launched in "beta". THIS, however, is the game we've all been wanting.

As Marvel Heroes celebrates its 1 year anniversary, it renamed itself "Marvel Heroes 2015" and... IT. IS. AWESOME! This game is everything Diablo 3 should have been with the added bonus of being Marvel Universe characters. Hulk, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Captain America, the Fantastic Four (Mr. Fantastic has not yet been released, but he is coming soon), numerous X-Men (Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, just to name a few) and a whole host of others mean that you will, undoubtedly, find someone you love to play. Each hero acts as its own unique "class", and truly, no two heroes play exactly the same. Sure there are archetypes - your "ranged nuker" or "melee bruiser" and so forth, but even within these archetypes, characters don't feel the same. Thing does not play like Colossus, even though they are both heavy hitters, for example.

    The most impressive thing about this game, however, is the development community. The devs for this game are more active and hands-on with the community than any developers for a game I have ever seen in my life. It's not uncommon for a dev to give you a personal response on the official forums. They constantly tease us with upcoming releases and sneak-peaks. They respond to our ideas and thoughts. And they play the game themselves, which means they actually care.

    New content, in some way or form, is released nearly every week. Either a new character, a new feature, a new costume, or something else entirely. Additionally, the devs put on near constant special events. Either zone buffs, or boss (and loot) buffs, daily login gifts, etc. I don't think we've had a weekend without an event going on since like February. It's glorious.

    Marvel Heroes got off to a rocky start one year ago, but everything has changed, and this game is amazing now. Absolutely worth playing. Oh, and the whole "free-to-play" thing...don't be concerned. It's not one of those "free-to-play but..." games which blocks you with a pay-wall every 30 seconds. You can unlock every single hero in the game by just playing the game. The only thing you really "need" to spend money on is storage space if you happen to be a dirty gear hoarder like I am. Otherwise, you can achieve everything you want without spending a dime (although personally, I think once you realize how great this game is, you'll want to reward Gazillion...I sure felt that way!)

    The item hunt, the combat, the selection of characters, all the end-game content, will keep you coming back again and again. With constant updates and patches, the game will remain fresh for years to come. This game certainly deserves more recognition for the place it has got to from where MH was before.

I have 25 Heroes unlocked so far and over 800 hours of play time with no signs of stopping. This game warrants a second look, especially if you are a comic book or ARPG fan. For those players who don't want to spend any money, be forewarned. There is a LOT of grinding required in order to play for free. There is a decent selection of free starter heroes, but most of the heroes require hours upon hours to unlock. If you find the gameplay enjoyable, the process of unlocking new heroes wouldn't seem too tedious. My recommendation if you like the game is to buy one hero you wouldn't mind grinding with to unlock the rest.… Expand

You won;t be disappointed, especially if you have been wasting your gaming time on D3.

    Marvel Heroes 2015 is quite a different game now than what I had remembered. After my initial impressions were somewhat lukewarm its clear that the game has received considerable polish.

MarvelMarvel Heroes 2015 is quite a different game now than what I had remembered. After my initial impressions were somewhat lukewarm its clear that the game has received considerable polish. The core mechanics are still there. The game's DNA is evident. Developed by creator of Diablo David Brevik; you can't help but notice the influence. Its also interesting that like Diablo 3's launch? Marvel Heroes had quite a rocky launch itself back in 2013. Player feedback of issues like limited content, hero tokens, and in game store prices was largely brushed aside.

    The devs began to take the feedback to heart opening up communication with its players in forums, etc. The results are evident. The character models and environments are nicely detailed. The heroes are voice acted and animated nicely. Its also fun to hear your character make a quip about another player's chosen hero. Speaking of the voice acting...there is some high profile voice talent to be had. David Hayter of Metal Gear Solid fame voices the Winter Soldier. (Approrpiate right?).

    The game's story is broken into chapters with some very well done animated cutscenes with characters like J. Jonah Jameson and Nick Fury. Your hero's abilities are earned as you level up. Leveling up provides you skill points that you can distribute in any of the three trees as you see fit. This kind of character building is immediately familiar if you are a fan of D1 or D2. Loot drops frequently never letting you feel undergeared. Gear is color coded as you might expect. Blue and green are uncommon and common respectively; while purple and yellow are higher. Yellow items are what are called cosmic items which are often of better quality/value. You can equip anything from medals, artifacts, and gear on your character to provide stat boosts and bonus effects. However it is a bit disappointing that this gear doesn't actually show on your character. But I expect this was to make things feel cohesive. The gear that you can't use or don't need can be sold or 'donated' to a crafter to increase his level. Increasing his level allows you to craft some great gear.

    Eternity splinters now drop off of enemies. These splinters can then be used to buy heroes and costumes in the in game store. However I feel that the drop rates in general for splinters and costume's are incredibly low. This of course is likely to encourage you to spend money in the cash shop. Before I might not have but I have since bought two heroes because I found this reimagining to be far more enjoyable. But they do offer some login bonuses from time to time. As of writing this tomorrow they are offering 400 splinters for logging in which is enough to purchase one of the heroes or a skin. Granted not one of the more popular characters as they tend to be priced a bit higher. If you are a fan of Marvel or even Action RPG's like Diablo? Give the game a shot.    … Expand

The game's certainly worth trying now especially if you tried at launch and disliked it.

    Enjoyed this game at release but since the big update and 2015 tag the game has changed. For a F2P game you won't find a better option. I recently bought a gaming laptop and it's optimised so well with zero frame rate drops even in crowded areas. Grab it and give the game a go.

They listened to player feedback and shown a great willingness to interact with the fans, exceeding expectations after the initial product was quite underwhelming. For those of us who stuck with it and saw the inherent potential, there has been a substantial payoff and the game is easily the best it has ever been.

    Are there still flaws? Of course. But many of the bugs and issues are constantly being corrected by the dev team and I don't believe any feedback directed at them goes unheard. Most importantly, this game offers some freshness that hasn't been seen before in the ARPG genre and gives you a variety of gameplay option rather than forcing you to spend all your time on story, for example. The community itself is also pretty great the vast majority of the time and you'll typically encounter people that are helpful and generous. Sure, there are a few elitists and so on, but just ignore them and your experience won't be affected much.

    Best of all, you can truly play free and there is no cap on progression or power if you don't spend money. I know this is important to players and rest assured there is no legitimate "pay-to-win" feature here. You can earn every hero just by playing and putting in the effort. On the other hand, costumes are such a rare drop they might as well not be one. Be prepared to dish out some dough if you want to sport some fancy new Iron Man armor or the black Spidey suit. Cosmetic items are their moneymakers, and are somewhat overpriced. Still, optional content is just that: optional. It has no impact on gameplay.

    in summary: If you're an ARPG connoisseur or just a Marvel fanatic, there is a lot to like about this game, especially now compared to a year ago. I can't guarantee that you'll love it, but I can promise that the playable hero diversity and choices at your disposal will likely pique your interest and give you the urge to play more, see more, and earn more. The free-to-play aspect will get you started and, with any luck, the regular, frequent content updates will keep you playing for months upon months to come.    … Expand

There's lots of variety in the cast and new free content is always on the way in the form of characters, items, and missions/zones. The most recent patch, that updated the game to 2015, includes sweeping changes for almost everything. Big new features here are the game's first 10-person Raid, Shared Quests and the Omega system, which is the game's Alternate Advancement system.

    I'm giving it an 8 since the game still has issues. The UI could use work, it's clunky in places and takes external modification of ini files to use more than one skill bar effectively, for example. Constant fast-paced content pushes means bugs, generally harmless silly ones but sometimes something ridiculous does go through to live. Performance could use some better optimization. Last major issue is that although many characters have gotten reviews a handful are still in need of them and while some of the characters without their review are still strong, they are typically boring to play with their limited options. This is getting worked on though, it'll just take time to get to everyone.

    All in all, for a free to play game, it's quite nice. If you haven't given the game a chance since a year ago, it's certainly worth a second look now.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I started playing this game in the beta and played it for quite a while but eventually got bored with it. At the release there were quite a lot of problems with this game and not enough content especially at later levels(it probable would have been smarter to release it as open beta since that's kind of what it was). However the marvel heroes staff is one of the most active I've ever seen during that time, lots of posts and updates. However after a while I got bored and quit the game and went to play D3 and GW2.

    Recently I picked this game up again and it's a completely different game from the release, none of the bad things that made this game were boring were still in it. Ever since I picked this game up I haven't played a minute of D3 anymore. There are still quite a few things MH can improve upon though however most updates will take time which is understandable.

    The most positive things are still the regular updates this game is getting and the marvel atmosphere that is very well executed. Also none of the hero's feel boring to play and each different hero has distinct things about them that make them feel very different from the other hero's. For me that means it's very hard to point out a main character since all of them can be fun to play.

    The storyline is well executed in my opinion as well and with the introduction of raids now there's plenty of content to enjoy. There's also enough variation in viable builds and customization with the omega system and Hero Synergy bonuses.

    Further of all this game is completely free to play and the only useful thing that you can't really get for free is stash space which is completely fine by me. All hero's can be earned by just playing the game so if you don't want to spend money you can still have plenty of fun.

    Costumes still cost quite a bit but they're cosmetic and in all fairness I don't think the price is that bad on a lot of them, there's cheap and more expensive costumes so if you really want to have your hero look a different there's plenty of options.

    There are however still quite a few hero's that need a lvl 52 rework but this will take time and won't happen overnight and the hero's even in their old state are quite balanced compared to others.
    One thing I do hope to see improved is the pvp system as I really don't like this to much. Also I hope that in the future more one shots and terminals will be released to give even more variation but I'm quite sure that this will happen somewhere in the future.

    Now this game is by no means perfect, but it's still a good game overall.    … Expand

    This review is mainly for those that have played Marvel Heroes in the past and were wondering if and how it has changed though this will still be useful for the new player and I encourage those who with short attention spans to read the entire review before judging the game.

    The date is June 3rd 2013, It is two days until my birthday and my wife has splurged $199 on me to buy the Marvel Heroes ultimate pack. It's a gamble and a long shot at best considering the usual quality of games based on movies and comic media. My wife constantly asks me before purchase "Are you sure this is what you want?", I assure her that i'll deal with it if the game turns out to be crap. By this point I have 250+ games on steam and what could one more game hurt? Even one as expensive as this was.

    Launch day rolls around and the game is enjoyable if not buggy. All your favorite heroes are there, more than 20 characters with outfits ranging from every era and artist, Stages based around locations from the comics and movies, Items designed to reflect the various tools of the trade your favorite character might use. You start with a single hero chosen from the starting few if you haven't brought your own and then your left to rely on getting your favorite character from drop rates. First few days the server crashes consistently as is the case with every MMO in recent memory and the consumer is outraged, as per usual. A few websites start to roll out reviews around the 5/10 area and it does not look good for the game. I myself am finding it hugely enjoyable, it's Diablo with Marvel Characters I think. I rush my way through the buggy yet enjoyable game and finally finish it after playing it back to back all week to prove to my wife the money was not wasted... I'm left feeling that the game was an enjoyable, buggy, Diablo clone.

    I don't touch Marvel Heroes again consistently for months, only playing in short bursts.

    6 months later I check the Marvel Heroes Forums, It's strange, the developers are communicating to the fan base consistently through the forum. I check the patch notes to see what I missed expecting only two decent patches for end game content. Marvel Heroes has come a long way. As I go through the enormous list of changes I don't even recognize half the mechanics and references, It seems the game has been updated almost weekly, non-stop changes and fixes, balances and characters, costumes and loot scaling. I decide that I would have to play the game to get a real sense of how much it has changed. I play 90 hours that week.. I own 250+ Steam games but I generally only rack up around 5 hours playtime a week. This fortnight I spend 100+ hours playing, everything in the game had been fixed! Drop rates are fast and fun! the starting character roster has doubled and the rest are free to earn with the in-game (un-purchasable with real money) currency! It not only felt like a balanced system was in place but it also felt like something else was there.. It never quite hit me what the change was for the first few weeks. It was that Marvel Heroes the Diablo clone was now just Marvel Heroes. It had a soul of it's own. The game felt complete, It had its own atmosphere and community.. and for me it now felt superior to any other MMO out. The support and help from the Developers and community was astounding.

    It is now January 1st 2014.. I have got my first max level character and not only has the game come into its own even more, so has the community. It continues to grow and change, It does something that a lot of MMO's haven't or can not - It adapts, the game itself changes to please the players and the players reward the developers with feedback and criticism. After 6 months I turn to my wife and say "You know how you brought me that Marvel game for my birthday? It was worth every cent."

    It's a shame some of the original website reviews aren't being re-evaluated because I hate to think about how many players are missing out due to old reviews about a game that barely resembles it's former self. If I had to pick any flaws with the game it's that the Luxury items are, at least in my opinion, pretty pricey. In that sense though the luxuries are just that, luxuries, they do nothing to aid your game. This is not a Pay 2 Win game, In Marvel Heroes you work for your loot and get rewarded accordingly. Sure you can buy characters and costumes early.. but if you want to deck them out in good gear you have to go through the same process that every one else has. In this quality Marvel Heroes is destroying most greedy-developer owned MMO's out right now. To make money the developer has decided to sell cosmetic items such as costumes at high prices and this ensures that the game doesn't dip into the Pay 2 Win scheme seen so often in MMO's nowadays, Also while the developer may charge for things such as extra item space and costumes, these things are rarely needed and are not detrimental to having an enjoyable and engaging experience.

    I have no doubt that as Marvel Heroes has grown it will also continue to grow. I also have no doubt that as long as they keep listening to their community and providing game play based around the consumer playing for fun - not paying for fun, they will continue to flourish.

    Pros:
    -Constantly updating and adapting game - regularly being balanced
    -Passionate, dedicated and generally friendly player base
    -Huge Roster and Costume List
    -Challenging and Engaging game play
    -Rewarding experience when leveling characters
    -Huge variety of skills reflecting your favorite characters fighting style
    -Very easy to pick up and play
    -Plenty to master and invest time in
    -Good story

    Cons:
    -Costumes are pricey
    -Extra stash tabs cost real money
    -I would like a way to earn Retcon devices faster (the games way of Re-specializing your character), The drop rate of this item seems rather low when you look at other games like Diablo 3 where you can just use in game currency to re-specialize your character. When you consider currently there's no simple way to test your characters skills out it puts how far Marvel Heroes still has to go in perspective. It would also allow players to see some of the other move animations they would not see otherwise.

    Other:
    -Graphically the game isn't likely to blow anyone away, characters look fine and enhanced costumes are flashy, Some of the characters moves are very pretty. The game isn't anywhere as nice as Diablo 3 graphically but it's above par with its other ARPG competitors.
    -Would have been nice to have actual cut-scenes instead of motion comics - maybe as the game grows.

    In my opinion the best F2P game out there. The only thing I feel dragging it down is the lack of storage space for completely free players.

    I played a bit at launch and then the game was terrible, just picked it up again a month ago and now it is a really good game.

    Well where to begin, Marvel Heroes 2015 the big re-launch and the first thing I can say is wow what an improvement, from even the basics of how each hero is designed/built to the actual game content it really is night and day different to how it used to be at launch.

    For a free game that doesn’t even restrict you in the same ways that many free to play MMO’s do you can’t go wrong,    Well where to begin, Marvel Heroes 2015 the big re-launch and the first thing I can say is wow what an improvement, from even the basics of how each hero is designed/built to the actual game content it really is night and day different to how it used to be at launch.

    For a free game that doesn’t even restrict you in the same ways that many free to play MMO’s do you can’t go wrong, marvel heroes is a great way to spend either a few hours or a whole week. The game isn’t without its flaws however, there are still some broken heroes that are waiting for their design review and bit of content here and there look/feel unfinished but this is a drop in the ocean compared to how it was last year.

    Most of the heroes play very well, their abilities and skills for the most part make the feel the part of the powerful superhero you are wanting to be and with a much improved roster for new players to pick from, you will be spoilt for choice very quickly especially if you frequent many of the MH forums and fan website that offer up boost and free new random hero codes.

    One thing that stands out to me for marvel heroes is the support that the developers give to the community, they generally do seem to listen to what people say and constantly put on offers/promotions and free giveaways in game for events (like xmas, Easter etc). They say it’s the little things that matter and marvel heroes is full of them.

    At the end of the day this is an ARPG, it is Diablo 2 but with marvel characters in it and some extra group related content. You will expect to have to grind bosses/content over and over for certain items and some characters will do this much better than others occasionally leaving you feeling annoyed that your favourite hero isn’t as good as storm or whatever.

    The new modes in this game are what make it really stand out, after finishing the main story there are now lots of things to do from various repeats of certain sections of story (called terminal missions) to one shots (mini story missions) Xdefence + shield holo sim (your standard survive as long as you can against ever increasing in difficulty waves of mobs mode) and midtown (run around the city beating up bad guys and react to villain attacks.

    On the whole I would give Marvel Heroes 2015 8/10, it borders on 9, but as said still lacks a bit of polish here and there, it’s a long road and MH is near the finish line, but just hasn't crossed it yet.    … Expand

The reviews here were pretty harsh on it, but people kept telling me how much better it was now. Finally I installed it. To say I'm impressed would be an understatement, this game is absolutely fantastic. And it's not just cause of the Fantastic Four! Gazillion has come a long way and has made this a thoroughly enjoyable Action RPG experience.

    There are plenty of things to do in the Marvel Universe, the main thing being story mode. It's relatively straightforward: get a quest, go do the quest. Nothing exceptionally unique, but the Marvel cast populating it make it quite a fun romp. From what I can tell, Gazillion is continuing to add content to flesh out the story with new quests and raids.

    When I talk about games to other people I always mention the unquantifiable "feel" of the game. How does the game feel? Is there weight to the attacks? Do the sound effects make using a certain attack fun or annoying? Marvel Heroes has the kind of 'feel" that keeps me coming back for more. Sending goons flying with a headbutt from the Hulk never gets old. Setting hordes of Dark Elves on fire with the Human Torch is always a blast. The diversity of the cast and constant additions will keep me hooked for a long time.

    Lastly, I feel I must comment on the Free to Play aspect of Marvel Heroes. Naturally it is a point of contention for gamers. However, Gazillion has devised a system that is completely fair. The prices are reasonably, and the only things that are behind a paygate are cosmetic costumes for the various characters and quality of life improvements like more stash pages. Everything else is unlockable through the gameplay.

    All in all, Marvel Heroes is quite the gem. If Gazillion keeps pumping out the characters and content patches, I fully expect the game to get even better.    … Expand

    This is pretty much an entirely new game since launch. More characters, more activities, more everything. This game is completely free if you're willing to spend some time on it, pretty much everything can be earned without paying a cent. A++ would punch doom again.

    This game has come a LONG way since its release. The developers are constantly incorporating ideas from the community and just being awesome in general. This is F2P done right.

There are no playable characters hidden behind pay walls; every hero is obtainable through simply playing the game and collecting the in game currency.

    If they continue on this route, I can definitely see them changing the 9 into a 10 for me. But don't take my word for it, stop reading this and go download it now!    … Expand

    Great game. The F2P model is more reasonable than many games, though it is pretty easy to spend a whole lot of money if you start getting into buying fortune cards, boosts, costumes, etc. If you are patient and save up your in game currency, you can unlock most or all of the heroes for free if you want.

    Most of the paid things are cosmetic, temporary boosts, or stuff like extra bank    Great game.

    Most of the paid things are cosmetic, temporary boosts, or stuff like extra bank space. F2P players get access to all the content of the game, which is better than a lot of F2P I have tried where you have to spend $ to even play the game properly.

    Devs are more active than in any game I have ever played...events pretty much weekly, at least 1 new hero every month sometimes 2, always working on and adding new content, etc.

    It has improved by an enormous amount since it launched 1 year ago.    … Expand

    Community oriented development team, Constant updates, F2P with fair prices, Lots of free in-game items are given out, Friendly community of players, Updates focus on real Marvel events (movie releases, comics, etc..) which add a nice touch to the game

    It took me awhile to really get into the game. I always kind of enjoyed it. But when they released Rogue as a playable character I just fell head-long into the action madness that is Marvel Heroes. I've gotten all the characters I like, half of them I earned for free, and the other half i bought during sales.

    The game is just a blast. There is no reason not to play it.

    A Diablo game with Marvel theme. They had some rough start, but now they have improved the game completely. One of the best communities ever, and the devs always hear what the players want in the forums. A highly recommended game for all Marvel and ARPG games fans.

    I've played Marvel Heroes since its release and i've been consistently blown away by the amount of content Gazillion continues to shove into this game. It has transformed from decent action RPG with a Marvel license to one of the best action RPGs created (and it just happens to have a Marvel license).

    I would rate this game an 8 / 10 but the sheer amount of content and positive community interaction that Gazillion has offered gives it an extra point. I've yet to see another game that continues to shower the players in gifts and additional game play like Marvel Heroes. And it's not throwaway content either like you see with many triple A pre-order bonuses; they've added entire levels, characters, new item slots, crafting recipes, end-game content...all for free.

    I hope the rest of the gaming world is paying attention to the strategy that Gazillion has employed for Marvel Heroes; listen to your customers and shower them with gifts.    … Expand

    Great game, great community, positive Social chat, and whenever I've had to create a ticket I get prompt support. Love that the devs joke around on the forums. Just a really proud member of the Marvel Heroes community, it's one game that I keep coming back to again and again.

    Having purchased a founder's pack and playing from early beta, I can tell you how disappointing the launch was. After this game originally launched, I played for maybe 2 weeks and ditched it.

    However, once the updates started rolling out and I saw how much devotion the developers had to this game, and the fact that they interacted with their user base regularly and took them seriously, this game took a complete 180.

    Now instead of an utter disappointment, I can't find myself playing anything else. The game is changing rapidly and for the better, and every patch that is released moves this game further and further in the right direction.    … Expand

    A surprisingly solid ARPG featuring a litany of iconic superheroes. [Sept 2014, p.56]

    A year later, Marvel Heroes is the game it wanted to be when it was released, and its ability to grow and change by acknowledging its problems and actively trying to solve them, is a testament to one of the best features of MMO.

    From Wolverine to Spider-Man and Cable, all the heroes you wanted to be when you were a kid are made available, with more to come. As an added bonus, you can unlock all of them without ever paying anything, which makes for the best kind of free-to-play experience, where you never feel constrained to do anything, and any money you spend only translates into cosmetic or quality-of-life upgrades, without unbalancing the game in any way.
