Marvel Strike Force is a free-to-play turn-based role-playing mobile game by FoxNext for Android and iOS platforms.[2][3][4] The game was launched worldwide on March 28, 2018.

Premise

The Earth has fallen under siege by sinister forces led by Ultimus. Agents of S.T.R.I.K.E. (Special Tactical Reserve for Interdimensional Key Events) have been called to assemble squads of heroes and villains to combat Ultimus's legions, that includes evil versions of the heroes, before it's too late.[4][5][6]

In addition to this campaign, special sub-plot events are also released, based on any recent Marvel films that were released, starting with Avengers: Infinity War.

Gameplay

Marvel Strike Force allows players to collect Marvel Universe characters from both the heroes and villains and generic characters from large organizations such as SHIELD, The Hand and Hydra, and use them to fight in turn-based battles. There are multiple ways to collect characters: some are given to players immediately, whereas others are gained via gameplay or as in-game rewards in the form of shards that are earned by players to unlock and or promote their characters. Shards can either be earned from winning battles or bought from a shop. Players level up their user level by gaining experience by completing daily quests or completing battles.

Battles are divided up into rounds, with the character with the highest speed attribute going first. Each team consists of up to five different characters that battle until defeated or reinforcements enter. Battles are turn-based, based on the speed attribute, where the combatants apply various buffs to their own team and damage to the opponent all the while trying to deal the most overall damage and having the last character alive.

Modes

The main game modes are Arena, Blitz, Raids, Challenges and Alliance War. Each of these modes has its own currency that can be spent for character shards or items. All modes are played versus the computer controlled AI, including the arena and alliance war battles in which the AI controls a player-created team.

Arena is battling against other player created squads in 5-on-5 battles, while competing for daily prizes based on ranking.

Raids are a series of maps that a player-ran alliance of up to 24 people must work together to complete all of the nodes.

Challenges are completed once a day to allow players to accumulate various resources. Each challenge occurs three days per week and can be completed three times per day. Challenge require specific character traits to be used to complete each tier of the challenge.

Alliance War is working together to defeat an enemy helicarrier while defending your own helicarrier.
