'Invincible VS'

What Do the Critics Say?
So how do gaming publications feel about "Invincible VS?"
IGN has scored the game a seven out of 10, saying that "'Invincible VS' is a very respectable 3v3 tag fighter that plays unlike any other out there."
Metacritic has scored the game 76 based on 44 critic reviews as of press time. ElDesmarque, for example, gave it a score of 80, noting that "The system has depth, the online play is incredibly responsive, and the fights are tremendously fun to both watch and play. However, it's also clear that the game is a bit light on content."
Omelete also gave "Invincible VS" a score of 80, calling it "A fun, fast-paced and brutal tag-team fighting game that seemingly straddles the line between casuals and veterans with near perfection."
'Mostly Positive' Reviews on Steam
Over at Steam, "Invincible VS" has more than 2,600 user reviews as of press time. Steam has categorized these reviews as a whole as "Mostly Positive."
Steam user Comic book guy says the game is a "Fun and silly fighting game, defintely not the kinda fighting game where you take it too seriously."
On the other hand, Steam user KratomCowgirl noted that "This game could have easily been an FGC mainstay but will likely be killed off due to its price, lack of content and egregious monetization."
"It has all the bones to be a great fighting game but compared to other games the price is just a death sentence for what still feels like an early access game," KratomCowgirl explained.
