Skybound launches INVINCIBLE VS, a 3x3 fighting game that borrows the chaos of Marvel vs. Capcom and the rawness of NetherRealm. Set in Robert Kirkman's universe, it invites you to form teams of three fighters to dish out blows. The story mode is brief, completable in one night, but maintains the narrative coherence of the series. It features Ella Mental, a new character played by Tierra Whack, in a non-canonical plot that could fit into the comic.
Fighting engine: fast combos and accessible mechanics 🎮
The combat system bets on speed and aggressiveness. Characters have special moves and assists that recall classic fighting games, but with a low learning curve. Combos execute quickly, and the pace is frantic. However, the story mode doesn't fulfill as a tutorial: it doesn't teach basic mechanics, forcing the player to learn by trial and error. The difficulty is low, so genre veterans will breeze through it without breaking a sweat.
Story mode: for fans, not for fighting students 📖
If you expected a story mode that teaches you to master combos, forget it. INVINCIBLE VS throws you into battle as if you already knew how to tell an uppercut from a grab. It's like going to a cooking class and the chef hands you a knife and a raw chicken. That said, the plot is entertaining, and Ella Mental has sharp dialogue. But if you're looking to learn, better head to training mode and save the story for a popcorn night.
