I put a lot of time into Invincible VS during the beta on console, and I’ll say it straight up, this is one of the most promising fighting games I’ve played in years. The 3v3 tag system feels incredibly fluid, letting you chain combos and switch characters mid string in a way that never feels clunky. The “active tag” and counter mechanics add real depth, so it’s not just button …

    This game should cost 20 bucks. The value just isn't here. Also the deluxe edition doesn't include the day 1 skins 😊😊 we love gaming in 2026 yippieeeeeeeeeee Also it's apparently cheaper to buy the standard edition then upgrade to deluxe in my country, but I didn't notice that, so I lost 40 bucks 😉

    I gave Invincible VS a chance inside of the refund window and my overall conclusion is that this game falls short of the hype that was generated before release. This is coming from someone who binge watched all 4 seasons of the show and then read all 144 issues of the comics and all of the other in-universe content that was a available. I also have hundreds of hours in other fighting games such as Street Fighter 6, Tekken 8, Guilty Gear Strive, Mortal Kombat X, 11, and 1, and many more. I am a…

    It is absolutely shameful that this game released in 2026 for $50 when it plays this badly. Not even talking about the $10 skin that's literally just one character without their shirt. No. The game feels like piloting a tank that's riding on top of a unicycle while you're being drowned in molasses.

    The game is fun but not worth the current price, in it’s current state I’ll probably come back and pick it up on a sale for $30 it ran almost flawless on the Steam Deck consistent 40 to 60 fps, but that one map with the white background dropped it under 30 (in story mode). And when I hopped online it was worst, but I can’t knock the game for that. Other than that it was fun kinda wish they would add a singles mode to the game that would be better imo 6-10

    I really wanted to like Invincible VS, but it just doesn’t come together. The gameplay feels shallow and repetitive, with very little depth to keep you engaged beyond the first hour. The combat lacks weight, the progression is minimal, and the overall experience feels more like an early prototype than a finished game. If you’re a fan of the Invincible series, the novelty wears off fast. If you’re not, there’s even less here to hold your attention. Right now, it’s hard to justify the time,…

    3.) Avatar is a project whose combat system design is done by a literal known sex pest, and that’s hurting the game quite a bit. 4.) Invincible VS looks and plays like a mobile phone game that got pulled up from the slop mines as a cashgrab attempt.

    Haven't had a chance to play yet cause I preordered the deluxe edition and received none of what I brought. But they'll fix it. It's just a few cosmetics. EDIT x2 : Have played a bit of the game, it's good gameplay wise. Nice meaty fighting game. Skins prices are kinda scummy though. <- 50$ essentially for a few skins, you're better off just getting the regular game for 50$ and getting the Year 1 pass later on when the DLC comes out.

    This game currently has no Steam Cloud Saves for some reason and the developers have not said anything about why that is or if this feature is coming at all in the future. They do however apparently have the time to add dlc skins for $10 each. There is also a huge issue with people quitting in the middle of fights. As it stands right now, I would not recommend buying this game. At least not until it's on a deep sale or the developer addresses these major issues.

    Feels surprising easy to pick and play. Story mode is short but the cutscenes are quality. This game, like every fighting game at its core, isn't built with single player content first in mind. Hop online and play with people. If you don't want to do that, do not buy this. If you're on the fence, especially if you're also a fan of Invincible, then honestly do it because the first few weeks are the best time to pick up and learn a new fighting game. There's no better time.

    Torn on this one. The fighting mechanics are intuitive and fun to use, that's true. However, the rest of the package is... lackluster, to say the least. Bare-bones? There's not much there beyond the hour-long story mode, running arcade ladders, or grinding online. What I find particularly scummy though is the drop of several $10 skins on the day of release while the base game is so bereft of content. There genuinely is no way to justify the decision other than greed. I wonder if they will…

    Mostly they bought or founded studios that didn't produce a product. They bought the Killer Instinct devs, Double Helix, who mostly have now left and formed Quarter Up Games, working on the new Invincible Vs game. They put out a hero shooter called Crucible that launched and was quickly shut down. Their biggest success has been New World, which is a moderately successful MMO. They also forked CryEngine into Lumberyard, which found some favor in the market. Other than that, they've got some…

    Short Recommend :) The game kinda reminds me of Power Rangers Battle for the grid... Like that game, you'll like this one. It also some kind of mix of CVM and Killer instinct, which make it pretty nice to play. Bad point is the single player, There is an amazing story mode but it's simply to short !! Other than that there is a pretty poor arcade mode ... Game is for people liking Multiplayer. Single player, wait for a strong discount!
