Marvel Super Heroes in War of the Gems is a fun nostalgia trip for fans of classic beat-em-ups and the early days of superhero games. You get to bash bad guys with your favorite heroes like Captain America and Iron Man, and the multiple paths through the stages add some replay value. However, the repetitive level design and somewhat clunky controls can bring down the experience. If you're looking for a deep and challenging game, this isn't it, but for a side of button-mashing fun with a Marvel twist, it's a decent choice.
A Good Follow-Up To X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse
Sequel to X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse, the story this time is popular marvel characters The Hulk, Iron Man, Spider-Man, Wolverine and Captain America have teamed up to help Adam Warlock prevent the Infinity Gems from being taken and used by Thanos.
Presentation wise its pretty similar. The stages looks much more detailed and have more personality than the mostly bland ones found in Mutant Apocalypse. A trade off is that there is less enemy variety and many bosses and mini-bosses end up becoming generic mooks with just colour changes, as well as other standard enemies just appearing as slightly tougher versions via palette swap. Animation also seems to have been downgraded. But least the Marvel characters and some notable bosses are well realised.
The music is still quite weak and the sound effects aren't nothing to write home about. That said, its not horrible or ear-grating, merely middle of the road.
Gameplay is similar but with a few new or changed wrinkles; Power-ups you collect are not instantly applied but are instead collected and can be used before you start a stage. Each Marvel hero can be used for any stage but they only have one life. If you lose all your life, they are out for good (unless you have a revive item handy). Once you gain them you can equip a gem to 1) give you a buff depending on the gem and 2) gain access to your heroes super move, which can be used a limited amount of times.
In terms of using the superheroes, there seems to be slightly less moves to use but, aside from the super moves, they aren't hard to execute. Otherwise its just the same as Mutant Apocalypse; traverse through the stages, beating up enemies now and get to the boss and beat them down to clear the stage (and possibly get a gem). There's more traps and platforming sections this time around that said.
War of the Gems seems more balanced than Mutant Apocalypse. There is less BS segments and depending on the Marvel character you choose, you can even be clever and skip parts of the stages. There's still the trial-and-error factor but it seems a lot easier to learn about the stages this time round.
Overall this might not be an improvement on X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse, though it's the less frustrating of the two. Instead this is a solid follow-up that is worth playing.

I struggle to understand why this game is so much worse than its predecessor. It's like the same game! But everything sucks now! Totally baffling.
Eu me lembro que me decepcionei quando percebi que esse jogo não era igual ao "War Gem" dos fliperamas. A decepção passou rápido! É, na minha opinião, melhor que o "Mutant Apocalypse" mesmo sendo bem parecidos.
why are there breasts on the cover
aiai…fico realmente chateado quando desperdiçam um game assim.
historia legal, bem contada
pixel art linda, agradavel aos olhos, um colorido que nao explode na sua cara…MAS pqp
gameplay basica, pobre, travada
as fases por mais que sejam lindas, tem as mesmas mecanicas, te faz pensar que ta jogando a mesma fase sempre.
os inimigos sao monotonos, combate por ser simples acaba enjoando logo que vc joga a primeira vez com todos os 6 personagens.
pra piorar tudo ainda meteram fase na agua kkkkkkkk.
e o pior de tudo é que nao tem desculpa da tecnologia, tinham VARIOS bons exemplos de como se fazer um jogo descente nesse genero, mas acabou parecendo mais um caso de jogo que se baseia mais no hype dos personagens e no peso da marca do que na gameplay em si…estranho que ate hoje vemos isso em jogos da marvel, triste demais.
