Whereas its sibling titles play it straight, Marvel Puzzle Quest has most of the characters quipping it up pretty regularly. Previously defeated boards can also be replayed to try snagging additional rewards, and just like in Avengers Alliance, you can skip the dialogue you’ve already seen.Įxcept you might not want to, because it’s one of the real highlights here thanks to comic book scribe Frank Tieri. PvP matches can be played against human opponents, and it appears there will be regular events in which to participate if you so choose.
Some levels have prerequisites before they can be unlocked, but there’s plenty to do besides plowing through the main story. A premium currency called Hero Points is also on hand to purchase with real money, and it can get you more powerful covers or new heroes for your team. While it’s nice to have that visual hook from the covers, the system is actually a bit confusing since any given cover could correspond to any of that hero’s three powers.

This can all be a little overwhelming if you aren’t versed in the source material, which might be the game’s most glaring weakness.
