00:00Coming up with our roster of superheroes was probably the biggest task we ever had to do.

00:22We decided to go with a good mix of iconic and well-known superheroes,

00:27but also more surprising characters.

00:30I have a personal theory that a good superhero lineup has very recognizable faces,

00:35but lesser-known characters as well because it makes you lean forward.

00:39Like, who is she? Who is he? Who's that person?

00:42Like, you want to discover new characters and we wanted to present, introduce new characters to our audience.

00:50Our main true line for the character designs were really like a blast from the past, from the 90s,

00:55mixed with a cartoony style.

00:57Most of our inspiration comes from the comic books, really old-school comic books,

01:01and trying to find some designs in there that adapt well to pixel art because that's what we're known for.

01:07Characters that audiences might discover with our games are Nova and Phylavel.

01:13They're both leads in the Annihilation original comics, so it was really important to have them

01:19in our game. But also, I'm a huge fan of Nova and also because we had that 90s styling to our game.

01:29I was really excited about the idea that he could have his mullet ponytail like he did in the 90s.

01:35And also for Phylavel, she is a character that has this great Joan of Arc type of vibe to her.

01:44She has a laser sword that is also really, really cool that presented themselves as really fun characters to have.

01:52When we were searching for, you know, the deep cosmic universe,

01:56we came up also with Battery Bill and Cosmic Ghost Rider, who are both incredible characters,

02:02but also super fun in terms of gameplay opportunities.

02:05On one side, you have Battery Bill equipped with Stormbreaker,

02:09who he can use basically as a trap that he can throw and leave on the field for enemies to get hit

02:15and, you know, use for great combos. But also Cosmic Ghost Rider, who is just this incredibly,

02:23very loud character that is full of incredible attacks like using the Cosmic Machine Guns or his

02:29whips to basically wreak havoc on the battlefield. It was also a great way for us to give our own twist

02:36on some of these characters, especially characters like Bethel Ray Bill, who hasn't been in any games

02:41before. People might recognize him as, you know, being similar to Thor, but at the same time for us,

02:47it was a chance to really define him in a way that would belong to us. And for those who are less

02:53familiar with Cosmic Ghost Rider, he is the combination of Ghost Rider and Frank Castle, aka The

02:59Punisher, combined into one amazing character. Again, if you open a comic book like you see these

03:05characters in different sizes and it's part of their identity. Same thing with their powers and

03:11it was a key part of how to present them in our game. I really love Spider-Man in our game because

03:16he's very true to himself. He's a very agile character who can web swing and reposition on the

03:22battlefield very quickly, but also use his webbing to slow down enemies and pull them with his iconic

03:29web shooters in order to really take control of the action. I really like Captain America,

03:35like he feels like he just walked off straight off the page. The shield throwing, the shield sling

03:40feels so good and so precise that I can't stop doing it. And also what is great is that you can

03:45combine both characters and have the strengths of Captain America being able to hold a defensive line

03:51while calling in Spider-Man to basically do a web swinging kick and wipe out a whole lane of the arena.

03:58Some of my favorites include She-Hulk and Rocket Raccoon. She-Hulk because she's just a massive

04:05character that can throw characters around, throw enemies around and chain some insane combos. And

04:11Rocket Raccoon because he's an agent of chaos. Every time you throw a grenade, it's randomized so you

04:19don't know what you're going to get. He's really quick. He can do really jump attacks that can combo

04:25easily between different enemies. So like both of them really have something a bit more unique than I

04:32like. I really like Iron Man to play as well. Like a flying character is very different from a grounded

04:37character and his repulsor blast like also allows you to engage the enemy from afar and that's pretty good

04:44as well. And on the other hand you have Wolverine who is the ultimate melee character who can use

04:50his claws to plow through masses of enemies but also pounce and perform lethal grabs and really have this

04:59amazing hand-to-hand combat experience. I think Phoenix is really great as well. She's well-rounded.

05:05She has a flight ability. She can grab people with her telekinetic grabs and she can also attack from range

05:13and she can infuse her attacks with fire which is very characteristic of Phoenix. So all-around great

05:19character. Venom is really a fantastic character. He can grab enemies. He can troll them. He can smash

05:25them on the ground. He can grab them from midair and he's also a very fluid character. Like he has a lot

05:31of movement options and a lot of his actions are transformations where he uses the symbiote as an

05:38advantage and it's really fun to see. It's really fun to change some insane combos. He's really a fun

05:44match with Storm who's a windrider who's a much more graceful character who can fly and evade pretty

05:51much any enemy strikes or dodge. And Silver Surfer was also a really fun character to work with because

05:56he's using his board part of his attack set meaning that you know he's really riding the enemies as he

06:04goes but also uses the power of the cosmos. And we also have a Black Panther who feels closest to

06:11a martial arts ninja type of character who's really has powerful martial art strikes and uses kunais and

06:18also Wakandan technology as part of his powers. And his special attack is actually pretty awesome

06:24because it really showcases the power of this character by just going through the whole battlefield

06:30in basically a single attack and plowing through these hordes of enemies. There's a lot of different

06:37environments to explore in Marvel Cosmic Invasion. We decided to expand on the comic book and add a few

06:43different environments. Most notably Marvel's New York City, Wakanda, Genosha, Savage Land, all places on

06:53Earth. But also the story takes you to the cosmos. So you'll move on to Blue Area of the Moon

06:59and then Klyntar, Asgard and a bunch of different places in the cosmos. And these places are also

07:05affecting the gameplay in many ways and are chock full of Marvel references for all you true believers

07:11out there. A lot of different things to see and a lot of fun place to explore with our 15 playable

07:17characters. Everything was made in collaboration with Marvel. Every character design has been reviewed

07:24and re-reworked to make sure that it works. It stays on brand with Marvel and it also works well within the game.
