App description

Marvel Strike Force is a heroes vs villains fighting game, featuring popular characters from the Marvel Universe (Spider-man, Ironman, Hulk, Phoenix, etc.). Players control teams of heroes (from 3 to 5 members) to battle groups of villains. The game will choose the order in which each hero attacks. Players then need to select between 2 attack buttons, and which villain to target – the noted hero then carries out the chosen attack. The aim of the game is to co-ordinate your team to beat the villains before they beat you.

Reviewers comments

The main concern for parents is that once players progress to level 6, the game opens a feature whereby you can join alliances and communicate in real time with other online players. Also, the fighting – even though in cartoon style – is quite graphically violent. Progression past some levels may be quite difficult and (in some cases) not possible until upgrades to players have been made. This may not only upset some players but may lead them to purchase upgrades with real money.

Advertising and product placement

As Spider-man is the lead character (at least from the start of the game) this may encourage children to want to see the movie:  Spider-man; Far From Home – which is rated “M” in Australia (15 years and older). The developers of this game recommend 12+.

Gender stereotypes and sexual references

None noted. In fact, the most powerful character is female; Phoenix.

Coarse language

None noted.
