Just like the Marvel Cinematic Universe expands every few months with a new movie or a TV show, Marvel’s mobile gaming universe too keeps getting bigger with the launch of new titles. Joining this roster of extremely cool games like Marvel Contest of Champions, Marvel Future Fight, and many more is the franchise’s latest collectible cards battler – Marvel Snap.

Tomorrow, October 18th, Marvel Snap launches on Android and iOS worldwide, allowing players to collect over 150 unique character cards of heroes and villains who have their own set of abilities and aesthetics. To add to that, a lot of these characters have variants which are like alternate styles to collect.

The gameplay trailer embedded below gives players a good look at the upcoming superheroes and supervillains as they are slammed on the game board, shouting one of their iconic catchphrases, which is a really cool feature.

This large roster includes the hellish entity of vengeance, Ghost Rider, Spidey’s biggest foe, the alien symbiote Venom, the evil AI that wants to destroy the world, Ultron, heroes from the Avengers, Fantastic Four, X-Men, villains like Dr. Doom, Kingpin, and so many more.

You can hear all of them say their iconic lines like Human Torch shouting “Flame On!”, Wolverine’s “Nuff said, bub”, Thor’s “Mjolnir, come to me!”, and you get the gist. It adds quite a bit to the immersion considering there’s going to be a lot of slamming cards and not much more.

Gameplay-wise, each match will consist of six rounds, where opponents take simultaneous turns at different locations that have varied effects on the game. The ‘Snap’ part doesn’t come from Thanos wiping away half of the universe, but it is the game’s hallmark feature that raises the bar by challenging the enemy to retaliate with a Snap of fleeing away.

It’s going to be a whole lot of thinking and strategic planning to ensure your team wins. Get in on the challenge by downloading Marvel Snap for free from October 18th onwards.
