Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 may appear to be like a gaming representation of mashing action figures together, but it offers a level of finesse that is truly remarkable. This one-on-one brawler showcases a clash of 50 fighters from the Marvel and Capcom universes. And with a 70% discount on Steam, this crossover fighting game is an incredible deal.
While Marvel vs Capcom Infinite, the most recent and potentially final installment in the MvC series, wasn’t terrible, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 stands as the pinnacle of the series. Despite being over a decade old (an enhanced version of the original Marvel vs Capcom 3), it remains a prominent presence in Evo fighting tournaments. The best part is, you don’t need to be a gaming wizard to enjoy it.
In technical terms, it’s a one-on-one fighting game, but you get to form a team of three fighters and can call upon them for assistance or switch them out strategically.
And even though the characters are grouped into distinct rosters, you’re not confined to using only characters from one universe. For instance, you can witness Captain America taking on Phoenix Wright with a backup from Resident Evil 3’s Nemesis.
No, this isn’t a fabrication. Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 boasts a roster of 50 diverse fighters, including the obvious choices like Ryu, Wolverine, and the Hulk. However, it also allows you to play as unexpected characters such as Phoenix Wright, Frank West from Dead Rising, Viewtiful Joe, and more. How about challenging Galactus with Vergil from Devil May Cry? You can do that too, creating matchups you won’t find in any Disney Plus series or MCU film.
With a price tag of $7.49 / £5.99 on Steam, it’s an absolute steal, especially considering the original price was $24.99/£19.99. According to SteamDB, this is the lowest price the game has ever been. The game is available on sale on the Steam store as part of the Capcom Halloween Sale until November 7th. Additionally, Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite is also discounted by 80%.
