Marvel Rivals
Marvel Rivals
Marvel Rivals est un hero shooter en équipe à la troisième personne développé par NetEase Games en collaboration avec Marvel Games, qui en assure également l'édition aux côtés du studio chinois. Propulsé par l'Unreal Engine 5, le titre est lancé le 6 décembre 2024 en free-to-play sur Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 5, Steam Deck et Xbox Series, avant de rejoindre le catalogue PlayStation 4 le 12 septembre 2025 ; une version Nintendo Switch 2 est également prévue.
Le gameplay repose sur des affrontements en six contre six où les joueurs incarnent des figures emblématiques des Avengers, des Gardiens de la Galaxie, des X-Men et du Multivers Marvel. La mécanique centrale réside dans les compétences d'équipe, ou « Team-Up », qui permettent de combiner les pouvoirs de deux héros pour créer des effets uniques, comme l'association de Rocket et Groot ou le chargement de l'armure d'Iron Man par l'énergie Gamma de Hulk. Les champs de bataille, situés dans des lieux iconiques tels qu'Asgard ou le Tokyo de 2099, intègrent une destruction d'environnement dynamique qui modifie la géographie du terrain et offre des avantages tactiques. Le contenu évolue par saisons, chacune apportant de nouveaux personnages et cartes.
Côté narration, l'intrigue s'ancre dans l'Entrelacement temporel, un événement provoqué par le choc entre le Docteur Fatalis et sa version futuriste de l'an 2099. Cette collision force d'innombrables univers à fusionner, contraignant héros et vilains à s'allier ou s'affronter au sein de groupes disparates pour empêcher l'un des deux Doom de dominer ces réalités recomposées.
L'accueil critique et public se traduit par une note agrégée de 77,27. La presse spécialisée a salué l'ampleur du roster, le dynamisme des affrontements et la direction artistique, Try Hard Guides soulignant un retour réussi aux codes du hero shooter et GameGrin relevant la qualité intrinsèque du titre malgré les attentes initiales. Du côté des joueurs, les retours sur Metacritic mettent en avant la solidité du gameplay et l'intérêt du système de synergie, tout en pointant des frustrations concernant le système de pénalités pour abandons jugés défaillants et certains ajustements d'équilibrage, notamment des affaiblissements de personnages, perçus comme décevants.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Marvel Rivals has hooked me back into the hero shooter genre with its huge roster of characters, exciting gameplay, and excellent sense of style. »
« It's undeniable to say that Marvel Rivals beat every odd stacked against it, and that's purely based on merit alone. It's a fun team-based shooter with new and old ideas featured prominently throughout its 33-character roster that kept me wanting for more. »
« In its current state, Marvel Rivals is an absolute blast, no matter what role you play. Yes, it's hard to deny the similarities to Overwatch, but enough is going on here that helps it stand out on its own. »
« Beyond its very obvious Overwatch comparisons, Marvel Rivals is a competent hero shooter that is fun to play and easy to pick up, full of love for the original characters, and with a free to play model that refreshingly doesn’t require you to unlock gameplay elements. Hopefully some technical mishaps can be fixed with future patches. »
« Marvel Rivals had big shoes to fill as a direct competitor to Overwatch 2 and, while not perfect, it delivers. With a large roster of iconic Marvel heroes, fast-paced 6v6 combat, and well-balanced abilities and mechanics, it stands out in the hero shooter genre. Marvel Rivals isn’t just a fun alternative — it’s a serious contender poised to shake up the competition. »
« Marvel Rivals is a rare example of a live service launch done right. Some aspects might feel more derivative, but the promise of future content that'll build on what's already a solid foundation is proof that Marvel Rivals is here to stay. »
« Marvel Rivals is a real surprise hit that has what it takes to shake up the whole shooter genre. »
« Going toe-to-toe with Overwatch is a tough ask, but Marvel Rivals brings an impressive roster and its own nuanced action to the table, competing with and even exceeding Blizzard's efforts. »

« False "Throwing" Bans Ruin the Game – Support Needs Major Improvement. Marvel Rivals has solid hero shooter gameplay, but the penalty system is completely broken. . Today I was hit with a full Login Suspension for "Throwing" (UID 1106343683) even though I did not throw, grief, or sabotage any match. I was simply playing normally when the system (or mass reports from tilted teammates) falsely flagged me. The ban locked me out of the entire game for hours. No way to quickly appeal or prove innocence. In-game support and Discord responses feel slow at best. This isn’t a minor queue penalty — it’s a complete suspension based on inaccurate detection. If you get reported by angry players or lag once, you risk losing access to a game you paid for. NetEase needs to fix their false positive detection immediately and provide real customer support for these issues. Until then, this kind of experience makes me hesitant to recommend the game or continue playing long-term. Avoid if you value fair treatment and playable accounts »
« Jogo legal, o esquema de colaboração ajuda muito a se prender no game especialmente na season de lançamento da junileu, mas foi chato eles nerfarem a summer skin do capitão América, poxa as pessoas gostam de coisas exagerada e literalmente ninguém esta reclamando e se estiver são pessoas que não merecem atenção »
« Un diseño brillante arruinado por un sistema de juego frustranteLo Bueno: Arte y FidelidadHay que reconocer el mérito donde lo tiene: el diseño de los personajes y las skins es espectacular. Se nota un esfuerzo real por mantener la fidelidad a los cómics y al estilo manga, logrando que jugar con estos héroes se sienta increíblemente bien visualmente. Si solo buscas coleccionar skins y ver a tus personajes favoritos, el juego **** Malo: El "Casino" del MatchmakingEl principal y más grave problema de Marvel Rivals es su emparejamiento. Jugar competitivo se siente literalmente como una máquina tragaperras. No hay una sensación de progreso real; lo único que mejora es tu memoria muscular con un personaje, pero tus victorias o derrotas parecen dictaminadas por un algoritmo **** juego te fuerza a mantener un porcentaje artificial, emparejándote con jugadores que no tienen nivel o poniéndote contra equipos invencibles, por no hablar de rellenar los huecos con bots. Es una auténtica vergüenza que un jugador de nivel 100 acabe en la misma partida que uno de nivel 4. Es como poner a competir a un profesional contra un niño de preescolar. Para los niños o los jugadores casuales que solo quieren ver las skins, esto pasará desapercibido, pero para los que buscamos una progresión de habilidad genuina, el sistema se siente como una **** Potencial Desperdiciado en los Modos de JuegoEl título se estanca al depender únicamente del modo clásico o el competitivo. Tienen ideas muy interesantes sobre la mesa, como los modos 18 vs 18 o el de matar zombis. Si potenciaran estos formatos, o incluso si se atrevieran a implementar un modo PvE profundo (algo al estilo Diablo con hordas y progresión de botín/habilidades), el juego ganaría muchísima vida útil y profundidad.Soporte Técnico y MonetizaciónPor último, la atención al cliente es inexistente. He enviado varios mensajes con feedback y problemas, y la respuesta ha sido el silencio absoluto. Da la impresión de que la desarrolladora está perdida y su único objetivo es exprimir la franquicia vendiendo skins, en lugar de arreglar la infraestructura del juego.ConclusiónEstán jugando con una licencia de élite como Marvel, pero hacer un diseño bonito no es suficiente. O los desarrolladores reciben un buen toque de atención y arreglan el matchmaking y la variedad de modos, o este juego se quedará en un simple escaparate de cosméticos sin alma. Brilliant Design Ruined by a Frustrating Core ExperienceThe Good: Art and FidelityCredit must be given where it’s due: the character design and skins are spectacular. There is a clear, genuine effort to stay faithful to the comics and the manga style, making the heroes look and feel incredibly cool. If you are just here to collect skins and look at your favorite characters, the game **** Bad: The Matchmaking "Slot Machine"The biggest, most glaring flaw of Marvel Rivals is its matchmaking system. Playing competitively feels exactly like pulling the lever on a slot machine. There is zero sense of genuine progression; you might get better at understanding a character's mechanics, but your wins and losses feel entirely dictated by the game’s hidden **** system seems designed to force an artificial win rate, either pairing you with completely unskilled teammates, throwing you against unbeatable veterans, or shamefully backfilling matches with bots. It is absolutely unacceptable for a level 100 player to be matched with a level 4. It’s like putting a senior professional in a match against a kindergartener. Kids and casual players who only care about cosmetics might not notice, but for players who actually want to feel rewarded for improving their skills, the current system feels like a total scam.Wasted Potential in Game ModesThe game shoots itself in the foot by relying solely on standard classic and competitive modes. There are genuinely interesting concepts here—like the 18v18 formats or the zombie-killing modes. If the developers enhanced these alternative modes, or even introduced a deep, PvE Diablo-style mode (focusing on hordes and progression), the game would have infinitely more replayability and depth.Customer Support and Developer FocusFinally, the customer service is abysmal. I have sent multiple messages regarding feedback and issues, and received absolutely zero response. It gives the strong impression that the developers are completely lost, focusing solely on selling skins and monetizing the Marvel IP rather than actually fixing the game's core infrastructure.ConclusionThey are playing with an elite, top-tier franchise, but having good art simply isn't enough. Unless the developers get a serious wake-up call and fix the broken matchmaking and expand the gameplay modes, Marvel Rivals will remain nothing more than a soulless cosmetic storefront. »
« They changed Captain America summer skin after people bought it. The developers are scammers who don’t respect their playerbase »
« Étonnamment bien réussi, les débuts de ce jeu sont très prometteurs ! Fun, visuellement intriguant, et une histoire en fond qui tient la route ? Vraiment top ! Si les devs continuent de faire du bon travail, ce jeu pourrait trouver une place centrale dans le genre du shooter. »
« Bought Marvel Rivals currency from MTC GAME recently and the experience was smooth. The code was delivered quickly, activation was easy, and the price was reasonable. Definitely a convenient option if you need a fast top-up. »
« The game itself is pretty ok if you only play quick match. The competitive is simply awful, you can literally go one match 51-2 and the other 3-11 so if you have a private team maybe you can climb rank but otherwise it's just lost time. My only regret is to have spent so much time in this game, literally brought me nothing good. Not even gonna say anything about the community because they don't deserve any mention. Anyway, a game to play 15 min to half a hour a week and that's it, other than this you're only get stressed out. »
« Complete **** 2 years playtime. The community just doesnt understand team-play and comp is ass. Not worth playing! Play a game that balances comp/rank and rewards fair play. This isn't it. Gredy developers reward toxicity »
