[@mywifesboyfriend5558]

Responding to an old comment here, but I always thought it was funny how Spider-Man was way weaker than Captain America here, and that the Hulk moved so slow.

[@bazzjedimaster]

Fun fact, this game while primarily tells the story of the Infinity Gauntlet miniseries, also mixes events and characters from Infinity Crusade (hence the evil versions of heroes and the Magus as a mid boss) also is worth mentioning some characters that were in the original story are using different costumes that reflect the time this was released, like Nebula having her more known bald look though in the original comic she had long hair and Dr. Strange having his "Marvel Edge" costume.

Adam Warlock’s minor appearances in this game are a better representation of the character than the one seen in Guardians of the galaxy 3.

[@SonicSlicer]

I guess I'm more at odds with the fact that Wolverine while was with the Avengers (briefly), that Thor wasn't in this one instead of Wolverine.

[@justanobody0]

@@SonicSlicer probably because when this was released there had been animated shows in the 90s produced about Spiderman and Xmen so if any 2 characters had to be in a marvel game, wouldn't it be Spiderman and Wolverine for example, I read a comment before yours that said they only knew Wolverine and Spiderman when they played this

[@SonicSlicer]

This Hulk/Thanos fight is a deleted scene from the rematch we should've got in Endgame.

[@teamrocketjoe1621]

I agree. Bruce hasn't been the same since Thanos. None of us have.

[@susanfit47]

This game is side-scrolling platformer/beat 'em up based on the events of Marvel Comics' series The Infinity Gauntlet and The Infinity War. Adam Warlock calls on the heroes to recover the 6 Infinity Gems before they are used for evil. Although War of the Gems is based on a similar storyline as the Capcom arcade game Marvel Super Heroes, and each of the playable characters retains one of the special moves they had in that game, it is not a port; War of the Gems instead features gameplay similar to Final Fight and X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse. This was released late in the SNES's life.

[@rawman4450]

Infinity gem=Infinity stones

Stones is MCU and The Gems is the original Marvel comic story line..... But you provably knew that 😉

Don't get why this game gets so much hate here in this comment section. At least for me it was a very enjoyable game.. Sure it's not perfect (far from it) and have some flaws, but it's part of my childhood and maybe one of my favorite games from SNES. As someone who don't read comics, this game was indeed how I meet certain marvel characters like Iron Man, Adam Warlock, Magus, Nebula and Thanos a long time ago. Also, it's cool to watch the movies nowadays and kinda relate it to this game, that was something cool from my childhood many years ago.

[@Rishi123456789]

Microtron's Grid My love for this game is based on merit and not on nostalgia. And my mind will never change about this.

[@Rishi123456789]

Kizaru I completely agree with you, man. I played War Of The Gems for the first time back in the late 90s and I love how I knew about the Infinity Stones (called the 'Infinity Gems' in this game) even before Marvel Cinematic Universe movies like Infinity War came out thanks to War Of The Gems.

[@yellowblanka6058]

It's common to see "my childhood!" in the comments sections of gameplay videos for pretty objectively mediocre games. I wouldn't say this is a bad game, but it's definitely flawed, and certainly there are FAR FAR better games on the SNES, but people will love it because of the licensed characters/universe (which is why I imagine the developers phoned in the gameplay, they knew it would sell well as long as it was a halfway decent game). You are of course entitled to your opinion, but I've enjoyed games as a child and upon reflection they were most definitely mediocre/bad, but of course as a child you don't have as much exposure to different games so you have no context as to what makes a good game. Honestly if you removed the licensed characters from most of these games, I doubt many people would be nostalgic for them.

[@OfficialBulldozerStudios]

I like that all the heroes have different abilities. Spider-Man and Wolverines ability to climb walls, Hulks ability to dish out massive damage, Spider-Man, Captain America, and Iron Man's ability to attack as long distances, and Iron Man's ability to double-jump and move really quickly. But at their core, They all act the same. They walk around and beat the ever-loving Christ out of EVERYTHING in their path. If you ask me, I think Iron Man is the best character to use. His mid-air dash attack has got to be the most over-powered attack in the game, plus he has pretty good attack power, and he can fire lasers both directly ahead AND diagonally after a combo. Also, his double-jump can really save your ass if you walk off a cliff over a bottomless pit or lava or something ( when is Megaman gonna learn that trick? ), which would otherwise prove fatal for everyone else ( unless your fast enough with Spider-Man and Wolverine and can grab the wall behind you before you fall off the level ).

MrWhitman the very true is hard , i tested in xbox emulator snes

[@sdgdhpmbp]

Kinda yes and no. It's extremely punishing in that the character's lifebars don't recover and if one dies, you don't get them back unless you have the revive item. Certain moves require Street Fighter sort of inputs for hadouken and shoryuken, and even then most aren't much better than the basic attacks. I have an especially bitter memory with the aquarium? stage with 2 evil iron men. Making it all the way is already tough enough, but that boss fight is something else. Is it, say, Ninja Gaiden level hard? Not quite. As you can see, the enemies aren't quick and have obvious patterns you can read. And if you really need more items/practice, the training room is available, spawning random bosses, and unfortunately random rewards (often none).
