I’m trying to find a modern beat’up title that is complexity level low, without RPG mechanisms, to have light sessions with visits and wife.
I’m looking at Cosmic Invasion but since is a recent title it is hard to get a good grasp.
If you would to decide between getting Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge or Marvel Cosmic Invasion would you get?
I like Shredder’s revenge, and have played it a fair bit. It’s pretty fun, and simple enough to be accessible for any age/skill level.
I’ve only played the demo for Cosmic Invasion. It kind of seemed to be more of the same, but just a different flavor (they have the same developers, of course). It was a lot of fun too.
You could consider the Scott Pilgrim games as well, and there’s also a new one coming out very soon.
Yes, if I hadn’t played either and I was going to choose one then I think I might go with Cosmic Invasion. My reasoning is that the developers have had some time to iterate, and the overall experience could potentially be a bit better because of this. As for the pixelation, I really didn’t notice one being substantially better or worse than the other. They both looked great to me. I like Dotemu’s pixel art in general.
Maybe think about what they might be into. In my line of thinking, cosmic invasion will probably have a more general appeal character wise than the turtles. With the turtles you either do like them, or you don’t. If cosmic invasion isn’t quite your thing, at least you have plenty of different characters to choose from and thus more of a chance to find one you like possibly?
A couple of other factors to consider: price = $25(shredder’s revenge) vs $30 (cosmic invasion) review score = Overwhelmingly positive (shredder’s revenge) vs very positive (cosmic invasion)
Yeah, Absolum got great reviews and looks like a great game. I’m not really into roguelikes myself, so I skipped on that one, but it definitely makes me want to consider giving them a second chance though. Lol
That is really good advice. Thank you!
If you haven’t played Shredder’s revenge would you maybe opt to go with Cosmic Invasion? I used to play Turtles on the arcade and it was very fun but I’d like it in a modern evolution. I asked the other contributor about the graphics. Have you felt that Shredder’s was a bit too pixelated?
I looked Scott Pilgrim and I think that really doesn’t make my heart pump. The aesthetic isn’t very appealing to me and is not nostalgia, because I kind of like the Absolum style. Absolum just look a bit more involving game, and even maybe built for single campaigns.

For whatever this is worth, Turtles made me nostalgic for Double Dragon, while Cosmic Encounter made me nostalgic for the X-Men Arcade game. Both fine, just hit different.

It is helpful. How do you feel about the graphics? I was checking some videos and Cosmic Invasion was looking a bit more polished.
