I’m trying to find a modern beat ’em up with a low level of complexity and no RPG mechanics, so I can have light gaming sessions with friends and my wife.
I’m considering Cosmic Invasion, but since it’s a recent release, it’s hard to get a good sense of it.
If you had to choose between Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge and Marvel Cosmic Invasion, which would you get?


If you haven’t played Shredder’s revenge would you maybe choose Cosmic Invasion instead? I used to play Turtles in the arcade, and it was a lot of fun, but I’d like to see a modern evolution of it. I asked the other contributor about the graphics, did you feel that Shredder’s Revenge was a bit too pixelated compared to Cosmic Invasion?
I also looked at Scott Pilgrim, and it doesn’t really get my heart pumping. The aesthetic isn’t very appealing to me, and it’s not about nostalgia, because I actually kind of like the Absolum style. Absolum just looks like a more engaging game, and maybe even one that’s built more for single-player campaigns.
