What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Marvel Contest of Champions is praised by longtime players for its satisfying Marvel character roster and engaging fighting mechanics with varied champion movesets, but is heavily criticized for being pay-to-win and for misleading players with false friend PvP functionality that uses AI opponents instead. Players recommend avoiding spending real money on the game's gacha crystals and suggest researching content carefully before investing significant time.

Recommended Oct 5, 2026

As someone who has played this game since it came out all the way in 2015, I think this game is special. Collecting all of these different marvel heroes and villains scratches an itch that has been aching to be scratched for years, though I'd also argue that's because of the gatcha aspects of the game ha. The gameplay is enjoying, every single champion has similar mechanics, but completely different tool kits that make them stand out in ways that can turn the tide of a fight if you use their rotation right. The crystal aspect is hit or miss, you should NEVER under any circumstance use real money or units on those crystals, you'll almost never get the value you want out of it. Play the game, do some research to understand the content & the rewards they can give you, trust me, you'll find yourself lost in the sauce in no time.
