Marvel Super Heroes - War of the Gems is one of those classic Capcom beat 'em ups that flew under the radar back in the SNES days. You pick from five heroes—Wolverine, Spider-Man, Captain America, Iron Man, or Hulk—and smash your way through waves of villains like Doctor Doom and Thanos. The controls feel tight, and each character plays totally different—Spidey’s web-swinging is way more fun than I expected, though Hulk just smashes everything in sight (obviously).
It’s got that 90s comic book vibe, with bright colors and big, chunky sprites. The levels are pretty straightforward, but the boss fights are where it shines—especially when you realize Thanos is just as much of a pain here as he is in the comics. Not the deepest fighter out there, but if you’re into Marvel or old-school side-scrollers, it’s a solid time.
