Recent Updates & Development
Latest Update: 8th December 2025
Recent improvements include:
THE CONTEST TURNS 11!
Join us this month as we celebrate our charming Champions and sensational Summoners!
NEW CHAMPION
Imperiosa
Not only the pinnacle of Eidol creation, but also the combined genius of every Founder who ever lived, Imperiosa is a vessel that contains the Founders' brilliance, cruelty, and will to dominate. Inhabiting a body composed of billions of tiny, synthetic ISO-based organisms, Imperiosa is able to rearrange these ""Synthects"" into a myriad of useful forms and functions depending on the situation. Additionally, Synthects can disassemble matter around them, providing raw materials to replicate themselves without limit. Though a hive mind, Imperiosa manifests as one voice speaking with absolute authority; an icon of the vile past, volatile present, and violent future of The Founders.
CHAMPION UPDATES
Punisher
Punisher can handle some punishment before dishing it out. Indestructible and Physical Resistance are prominent once again.
Critical Hits and Bleeding out his Opponent make their return.
Villain's will fear his Impact, shredding their block with a Special 2 Attack.
Wolverine (X-23)
Laura is back and she's ready to take down the competition with a Frenzy fueled rework.
Her aggressive playstyle focuses around striking her opponent to build up Frenzy, and eviscerating them with a flurry of attacks.
Laura's powerful Bleed Passives take things a step further when she taps into her instincts. Watch out!
NEW FEATURES
Alliance Coliseum
Is your Alliance ready for a new kind of challenge? Enter The Coliseum and see how many health bars you can deplete from your opponent, then compare scores with your Alliance mates to work out which attackers are best suited for the fight. Match your Champion with the correct daily bonus tags and level up your Podiums in order to score as high as possible and take your Alliance to the top!
NEW QUESTS AND EVENTS
Banquet Event – Asgardian Gala
No matter which of the nine-realms you call home, it is time for merry-making and feasting! So warriors such as Jane Foster and Valkyrie invite one and all to make the most out of this celebration as they prepare for battle against the invading Eidols. FEAST on resources, CELEBRATE with Summoners, and make merry… while you can.
Featuring our annual anniversary celebrations, Accolades Event, New Years ‘Ring it in’ Arenas and Glorious Guardians, this Banquet Event is not one to be missed! Get your first opportunity to acquire newly 7-Star Champions such as Absorbing Man, Valkyrie, Scorpion, Kingpin, Punisher, and Super-Skrull during this Event!
Event Quest – Lost And Found
The final Eidol, IMPERIOSA has arrived and with them comes no shortage of destruction and danger. Power is draining from ISO-8, foes are assembling, but possible friends are also revealing themselves. Will all the Eidols fall in line once the secrets of the Founders are revealed? Or will Imperiosa’s downfall be a result of Eidol handywork?
Side Quest – Taken
Eidol invaders are taking over The Contest, and it has inspired The Collector into action. The Collector has a particular set of Skills (as well as Mutants, Sciences, and Techs). He had been attempting to take control over some Champions but 11 years of ISO-radiation and an ever-changing roster has perhaps left his skills of super-powered manipulation a little rusty. So now it’s up to The Summoner to break some violent brainwashing of a dozen Champions who have TAKEN a leave of their senses!

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We like this game so much we only have like 19 things so this is a fun game. We wish we could make more of these games like this.
He got our favorite superheroes in it.
Missin a few other then that games amazing 10/10.
Ive been playing this game when 5s were the biggest thing, and you had to play once a week to get the catalyst you need to upgrade you champions. Our what a grind that was. Its so awesome (and bittersweet) to see that they have really revamped the game so that everyone of various skill level can play. We have been obsessed with 7s ever since they came out and Ive just been wanting to collect the good ones LOL. Definitely worth the download if youre going to be an F2P or P2P player it doesnt matter they have something for everyone.
Its an amazing game. Wish more crystals were free or easier to get but we still love it.
This game is awesome! Great design, easy to play. Lots of gameplay options, and all for free! Graphics are amazing! Best game in the App Store.
Been playing for a long time and it gets better and more fun when you start learning more about it.
It is the best because it is so much fun.
PLAY THE GAME PLEASE YOU SHOULD.
Its perfect. Perfect. Everything down to the last, minute detail.
We wanna give it a one star review But we cant we have played this game for 10+ years since it came out and we feel like its at an almost all time low the rewards are nice but you cant do anything in the game without punishment you cant parry dexterity and even the enemy in most cases and its really annoying like we cant do what the game intends also it is and isnt pay to win Kabam if you fix this itll be better.
Ive been playing this game everyday since it came out in 2014 and its always super fun.
We lovely the simplicity of the fighting system.
We love this game and the way every thing is so fun and cool thank you for making this game.
We play this game all day and we love it so we just want to tell you that you should play this game because we have played it 37 hours this week and its about boy and girl marvel characters.
Stupid fights in act 7 for literally nothing, waste of time dont even bother at this point. Act 6 has better rewards it makes zero sense. Fun game tho.
This game is the best marvel game on mobile hands down, from the animation to the range of characters to the fighting options. The story is perfect and we have nothing to say about the gameplay, but we do think that for slightly older phones you arent able to keep much else on your phone if you want to play this without getting past the loading screen.
Please support game controllers.
We highly doubt youd listen to this review, but whatever. It genuinely takes so long to level up, Im currently level 37 as of writing this review, and all you get? A few gold and units that just barely benefit you. We spend hours everyday on this game dude And yet we can only level up once By the time you reach level 61 and finally start getting actually good rewards youre probably already bored of the game, our fellow atom 300 units is the BARE minimum, we should be getting those type of spoils every 5 levels, hell we should be having a 5 star ultron right now but instead we got nothing but 5 units and gold, brother we should be having a 7 star ultron by level 60 not a 2 star. Youre being unfair, you guys NEED to update the level up rewards, all this grind we be doing should be making us have 1k or more units and a powerful ultron, the hell.
Marvel Studios really knows how to make a game because we certainly do love this intense fun marvel game.
VERY GOOD GAME YOU CAN PAY TO WIN EASY .99$ USD FOR 4* VENOMN GOOD DEAL 5 STARS.
Its a fun easy way to pass the time and we enjoy it a lot.
We love this game best game ever:).
We love this game such as if your a big fan of marvel then yes we agree.
Basically pay to win like $20-$50 a month. Its very good but we wish they gave you more lighting to play more rounds.
Love that you can buy stuff but youre reward even more for just playing daily.
We are so disappointed at this game, we just downloaded after a long time without playing and we already had an account but we decided we wanted to start a new one, so we started and we were progressing very fast and then we take like a 10 minute and when we open the app again we found out it randomly open on our old account and now we dont have any way to recover the new account we were playing and now we have to wait 30 days to delete this one!!! Just disappointing we were really having fun.
We bought a backbone pro and we want to be able to use it on our favorite game which is Mcoc. Our hands get very sweaty which messes up our gameplay sometimes because of the screen getting wet so it would be good to be able to use something physical that isnt so sensitive like a controller, just like how the game is on pc for keyboards.
The game is great tho gameplay can feel repetitive.
Amazing game and love to play in free time.
Ive been playing this game for so long now. Through every bit of of high and low and they always seem to do whats right. Never have we found a game with such fantastic support not just from the community but the dev team aswell. Now of course its not perfect nothing is. But this game is outstanding. For the person who knows nothing of marvel to the deepest lore fans its all blended beautifully.
Like every game they have there ups and downs. And another is we have the best name in Mcoc history.
Outside of the millionaires & even the few who work a 9-5 to sacrifice their income or get a 2nd job to pay their way to the top % of rewards. You can still be F2P and make this game feel rewarding af. Great Story content w/ monthly events and new champs added monthly along w/ rebalancing older champs to make the game feel fresh. Kabam has a forever game w this one.
Been playing this game since we think 6 months to a year after release. Took breaks, but at the end of the day, always come back to this game.
This game has improved so much! The interaction of alliances is awesome and the game is fun solo as well! We think that it can be a money grab but if you be persistent you can get pretty dang far for free.
This is the BEST MARVEL GAME on MOBILE.
We love the game, but the energy system needs a rework. When we play story mode and can only get through one quest before waiting around half a day for our energy to refill its quite annoying. Not saying get rid of the energy system completely, as its there to stop people from progressing too fast, but free to play players without many units to spend cant play the game for more than 10 minutes without waiting half a day to play it again. Pretty annoying and it doesnt allow players who would otherwise love the game to appreciate it that much. Otherwise, the mechanics are simple and easy to use, the opponents are perfectly challenging, the story is engaging, and the characters are fantastic. TLDR: Energy system needs a rework, but the game otherwise is great.
It is so much to remember and rend Im 10 not 67 we here rend.
We love your game just please make 7 stars more available and reduce pay to win please.
This is a great game but there are some issues, Like the login breaking after not playing for a long while it shows a no WiFi indicator, and please get T:FTF back, Netflix has completely ruined it.
It be a lot if fun with controller support for sure and more competitive.
We have a backbone we would love if the game had controller support. It has support on for controller on pc.
We hope to see more buttons shaped like triangles in this game.
Ive played this game for years and Ive enjoyed playing a lot! Our favorite part of the game is undoubtedly collecting champions and getting to experience gameplay with all our characters. With the recent updates to monthly event quests being tailored to your level, and not just a difficulty selector, it makes it really hard to use any of our champions other than our strongest ones, and that takes the enjoyment out of it for us. If changes arent made we will most likely stop playing the game. Which is sad, cause Ive been playing since 2017.
In the Colosseum,they were saying that we would get multiple seven star stuff and we earned it and everything and they didnt give us it.
The game has a lot of flaws. It is definitely rigged in their favor to make you buy in app purchases in order to complete quests and milestones. The latest update was horrible. After playing this game for 10 years and completing milestones, ranking characters based on skills. The tables have turned to make it virtually impossible to win any event without spending money. Kabam has shown their true color of greed and destroyed what was the best app game ever.
We love this game been playing 10+ yrs and this may we say is the best all other game you have to restart over and over again. This game keeps your status ranking. Just dont let someone use your devise to start new game that will kill your characters and ranking. Lol. Hand down Best game eve and still going.
Im obsessed. However; we got hooked playing the arcade version. Now we have the role cards/ champions and we cant play them in the app. This all being said, itd be awesome if the QR code on the card was able to input the champion to your roster in the app as well. Other than that, awesome addicting game.
When it comes to such a revolutionary game like MCOC, you cant get much better than it on the App Store. The only other game that has been able to keep us playing for 8 years now is clash Royale.
AMAZING GAME. It is worth downloading. Every second it felt like we were actually in marvel.
