Bugs
• Yelena Belova's Special Ability description incorrectly stated she copied Revive Once to all Winter Guard allies. The ability description has been corrected to state she only copies Revive Once to herself. The combat behavior was correct and remains unchanged.
• Yelena Belova's Level 1 Special Ability Description incorrectly stated that she gains Stealth. This has been removed and now matches the combat behavior, which was correct.
• Jeff the Landshark was performing his Ultimate Ability animation on the incorrect (allied) side of the battlefield.
• Red Guardian's ""Upgrade to Level 6"" description failed to mention he always gains an assist from a Yelena Belova ally. The combat behavior was correct and remains unchanged.
• Thor Infinity War was sometimes not appearing on the battlefield for certain devices at 60fps
• Darkstar's Ultimate ability contained a minor typo.
• After losing a battle, tapping the roster button on the defeat screen failed to bring a player to their roster screen.
• Tapping the ""Last Results"" button on the Alliance War screen consecutively caused the Last Results screen to appear incorrectly.
• Knull's Battleworld music was playing during a Sentry fight on Battleworld.
Marvel Strike Force is arguably one of the most visually stunning hero-collectors on mobile. The animations for the 'Synergy' attacks are cinematic and capture the feel of the MCU perfectly. For a fan, there is something incredibly cool about seeing Iron Man and Captain America team up for a unique combo move.
Under the hood, it’s a deep tactical RPG. Team composition is everything; you can’t just throw your strongest characters together and expect to win. You need to balance tanks, healers, and damage dealers. While the game is a 'marathon' and can feel grindy—and the push toward microtransactions is definitely present—the core gameplay is solid enough to keep you coming back for daily raids and blitzes. It’s a high-production-value RPG that rewards long-term planning.
Over 150 Marvel characters to collect and upgrade
Stunning 5v5 turn-based tactical combat
Dynamic synergy-based gameplay
Epic Alliance Raids and PvP Arena
Consistently updated with new Marvel cinematic content
Focus on 'Synergy' traits. Characters like the Defenders or Guardians of the Galaxy gain massive stat boosts when played together. A balanced team usually needs a 'Protector' to take hits and a 'Healer' to sustain the squad.
Join an Alliance as soon as possible. Raids are the best way to earn gear and character shards. Coordinate with your teammates to clear different lanes and reach the boss for the best rewards.
While paying speeds up progress significantly, dedicated free-to-play players can still compete at high levels by being smart with resource management and participating in Alliances.
When I originally got this game I was upset to find out that you needed shards to unlock characters. I had made a purchase to get Thanos but I actually was only buying shards. In order to unlock characters, you need to collect a specific amount of shards for a specific character. I think the game should make you more aware of this when you first start off, because your first few characters are given to you for free and I had no idea about the shards. Once you get past that, the game is just amazing. Plenty of marvel characters to chose from and work for, some make you feel accomplished for all your hard work and effort, while other characters can sometimes be surprisingly weak. The gameplay is very fun and has great graphics for a mobile game in my opinion. The devs are also always delivering new content, characters, and events to keep you busy. Once you start to learn the game inside and out, like I have done over the course of a year, the game really starts to shine. You start to figure out ways to beat the pay-to-win system, and you can definitely get very far without spending a single penny. It just takes time, effort, and some wits. Be sure to log into their website for frequent free rewards and bonuses! Another thing that the game kinda speeds by is the importance of getting into a good alliance. I was fortunate enough to receive an invite to a somewhat strong and busy alliance. We don’t talk much, but we all do our part and collect the rewards. All-in-all, if you’re a marvel fan, and a gamer with time on your hands, you definitely have to give this game an honest genuine chance. Thank you MSF!
This game is an amazing game it is fun and enjoyable I love all the characters but some are players can’t get those great characters I spent all my money I saved up to get what to supposed to be at most 50 character shards I spent like 650 power cores or whatever there called and got 1 character shard and it was not even a good one I was saving up for the spider-verse pack and I play all night and almost get it then I wake up the next morning and look in the shop and it’s gone I really wanted carnage another thing I don’t like is the price of the packs for what they actually give you they should be less they should keep the price for packs which actually give you a good amount and decent characters a weird thing is I love kill monger he is an amazing character I used most of my things to level him up but I got him to level 35 and I lose all my level up points and he is not even better than my level 26 shield medic my medic is way better if you can consider this it could make this game a little easier for people who are new to the game it is easy for people level 50 and higher they get good stuff but under that is is very hard to get good characters also I have character ideas Star lords dad the creatures from infinity war the black alien things when they raid Wakanda and Eddie Brock when he is not venom you could also do the host for riot the symbiote from venom none of these have to be expected I just want “if you see them” to know how I think of the characters
I’ve played these games before, where it’s turned base, Your encouraged to unlock characters, but it most games like these, it doesn’t matter if you only 5 characters, as oppose to 50, it doesn’t change the game’s dynamics. This is one of the main reasons why I love this game. You get to use all of your team! In modes like”blitzs” or “alliance raids”. Which in my opinion adds a whole other dimension to the game. I love that fact that it’s not really “pay to win” you can’t “escape the grind” and the “farming” for characters. And when your farming, you don’t have to spend money or collect items to do an “auto win” for that level. That was so annoying about the other games. This just lets you “farm” and move on to alliance raids, blitz’s, or the arena. I’m also really into how some the events require specific characters from your roster. It makes farming and having a deeper roster worth it. This game is just so fun because you can attack it/play from so many different angles, and they all feed the same monster. It doesn’t matter if your just in it for the campaign’s story, or if you just want the strongest team in alliance, if your trying to get new characters on blitz, or trying to have the best alliance, this game has something for everyone. And you don’t have to pay real money to succeed. And the game isn’t so stacked against you that you have to spend real money to win or achieve anything purposeful in the game. I love all the updates, it keeps me coming back for more. Honestly this mostly the only game I play now.
Due to this game always being super buggy, and since the last update that keeps me from using WiFi. I am going to have to give this (1 Star). I’ve been playing this game for almost a year. I’m almost at max level with almost the whole roster of characters unlocked. So yes I’ve enjoyed it. Can this be fun? Absolutely it can be, and super addicting too. But the devs are lazy and greedy. Also the lack of customer support is frustrating and disappointing, as they will often ignore most issues. This game will mess up any character development with serious lag issues that will cause the game to do things that you may not want to. And resources are very scarce, unless you decide to pay the overpriced pay to win offers. Even if you decide to pay for stuff. Beware as this game seems to bait you into using your resources without you wanting to. When there are sales, drop rates become nonexistent. So if you don’t mind using up all your data due to game breaking bugs that (won’t let you use WiFi) on a data hungry app. This game may be for you. If you don’t mind losing valuable resources due to buggy issues that don’t get addressed, then play, it’s a lot of fun. If you like making in app purchases that have no value. Then by all means you won’t have any issues. Until this game becomes stable, and has the game breaking bugs fixed. I will give it the 5 stars it deserves. Sad to say it has to get 1 star.
I don’t write many reviews but I’ve had this game for about a couple years so I thought I’d write something about it. It’s like many other role-playing strategy games where you collect character shards till you get enough to unlock a character. I like this one over all the other ones though because 1: it’s Marvel and I like Marvel stuff, and 2: Characters get extra bonuses for being on the same team as other hero’s/villains they are associated with. An example would be making a team of Avengers and them getting extra defense or buffs for being on a team with them which is a really good incentive to complete your collection of hero’s for those teams. There are definitely some teams better than others, as of right now the Infinity Watch team is overpowered but not a huge downer if you’re having fun assembling teams. On the topic of pay to win: The game can be played and you can have fun if you don’t pay money for things but you’re progress is a lot slower but you still make pretty good progress I’d say, I stopped playing the game for a half a year and I still have fun not having spent too much money (maybe 5 dollars worth). The main way to play is you spend “energy” points to play campaign missions and after you perfect a mission you get to auto play it, but there are so many other energies and multiplayer things it still keeps me busy being pretty far into the game. Before I go a tip for the game is to put a lot of effort into a Hero City group if you’re just starting to play like the Defenders, they are fairly easy to get and they last you a long time into the game and are fairly good with multiplayer stuff. Have a great day!
Don’t get me wrong I’ve loved this game since I started playing it but with the latest update on the game about two weeks ago I lost my account and can’t get it back and my clan members told me it was a glitch in the game and I had to message customer service so I did and I began to watch my email because I entered my email for a contact back but after 4 days of nothing I decided to message them again mind you I have never had to message them before now for anything and I didn’t know they message you back right on the contact part so I had a message acknowledging that I messaged them like an automated one then I had one from a support person asking for more info to verify my i.d. Then I had a message that since I didn’t answer within like 24 hours he was closing the case and I would have to message them again to get it started back up so I messaged the info he asked for and that was a week ago and I still haven’t heard a thing from them, so I’m seriously considering just quitting this game solely on the fact that their game made me lose my account I didn’t do anything but install the update and open the app then they can’t fix their glitch so I get my account back and closing the case after not hearing from me within 24 hours is a joke and then ignoring me when I send the info I’m losing dozens of items and character shards daily that I need and have been waiting for certain evens because they won’t do their job so idk if this game is worth my time
Developers: Don’t listen to all these bad reviews. You made, and are maintaining a great game with a lot of potential. Most of them are complaining do to the fact that they aren’t any good at the game, because they don’t take the time to work out the math on what makes a team good. That said; they do make reasonable complaints about your strategy for paying the bills. Most of your players are marvel fans, not free to play game fans, so you can keep your player base more easily than other games like yours. Maybe, you could add a feature to allow your players to watch commercials in place of spending money for currency, equipment, and character shards. This way you can take some pressure off of your ‘direct purchase’ dependency, allowing you to give more for less, without effecting your bottom line. We (your players) are willing to make you money, and be loyal customers, but most of us do not have enough to justify spending ANY amount of money on a ftp game. Even those that do, can’t afford what o asking. It seems like a small few are paying an arm and a leg fo all of s to play. No fair. Maybe, give a monthly subscription option that gives more frugal players an appealing option. Give hem all the characters, while still forcing them to level like everyone else or something. SOMETHING BESIDES DIRECT PURCHASE REVENUE PLEASE. Thank you for your time. Take care.
So I’m leaving this review as someone who has invested in this game for 3 years. I love the characters and graphics, story, dialogue is hilarious at time in a good way. Thats all the good I can say. This game is all about the $$$. And if you don’t have it or willing to put a fortune out for it then stay away. They recently starting releasing new characters through events but within 2 days you have to have those characters maxed out in stats to even do the event which is unobtainable without hundreds of dollars. The got rid of using in game currency and switched to a real money spent in game currency orb so no more saving those up for the store. They make you log in for 7 days straight to get certain perks which I’m ok with if it would work or not bug out. But you end up losing your streak after the 8th or 9th day. They change a couple events for the horseman characters to now it’s IMPOSSIBLE for a free to play player to achieve stars for those characters. Every new character they release they attach some event or milestone to it that requires tons of money to get the good stuff you need while free to play players get nothing. There is nothing “fair” about this game if you aren’t paying for it. The amount of teams is insane, good luck completing a team and getting them high stats before they nerf it and make a new team that’s super unobtainable to collect and raise stats for. All in all I wish they would care more about the free to play players more than they currently do.
