Description official description

The game crosses heroes and villains from the Marvel and Valiant comics franchises. A cosmic barrier, which separates two dimensions has been broken. Supervillains Mistress Crescendo, Baron Zemo, and General Krytos team up to take over the known universe by acquiring a Cosmic Cube. However, Iron Man and X-O Manowar band together to thwart the evildoers’ nefarious plans.

The player can choose to play either as Iron Man or X-O Manowar. Both characters have Mai lay the same move set, but they also have their own unique attack moves. In each mission, which is made up of multiple levels, there are objectives to follow. At the end of a mission, the player will fight one of many supervillains.
