Marvel Cosmic Invasion - The Siege of Castle Doom review - the fight against Doom is just about worth it

Marvel Cosmic Invasion's second DLC pack is bigger and a lot more ambitious, bringing with it a new roguelike mode centred on Doom.

The Siege of Castle Doom is a great if not exactly revolutionary way to extend the life of Dotemu's 16-bit superhero brawler, with its new characters being the standout.

With Avengers: Doomsday set to be one of the biggest box office behemoths of the year, it only makes sense for any recent Marvel-related video games to capitalise on its purported hype.

In Marvel Cosmic Invasion's case that means placing the MCU’s newest big-bad at the forefront of its next DLC update, The Siege of Castle Doom, wherein you must take the fight directly to him as part of a new roguelike mode that sees you repeatedly punch, shoot, and blast your way through the corridors and ramparts of Castle Doomstadt in the attempt to stop his universe-ending plan.

As far as roguelike additions go I’ll be honest and say that The Siege of Castle Doom isn’t the most revelatory, but there…

Marvel Cosmic Invasion Castle Doom DLC Adds Two Playable Characters and New Game Mode

Dotemu and Tribute Games have released Marvel Cosmic Invasion: The Siege of Castle Doom, a new DLC expansion for their co-op beat ’em up. Available today, November 10, the $7.99 expansion introduces a run-based game mode, two playable characters and additional upgrades. It is available on PC via Steam, PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2.

The Marvel Cosmic Invasion Castle Doom DLC centres on a new mode that takes players into Doctor Doom’s stronghold. The objective is to stop Victor von Doom’s Cosmic Inductor, an invention intended to counter Annihilus. Unlike the main campaign, this mode features branching paths, new enemies and time-sensitive objectives that change how each run plays out.

Players can choose from 12 perks that provide defensive, offensive or tactical benefits. However, failing certain objectives can trigger debuffs that weaken their characters. The mode also includes permanent equipment unlocks and events through Reed’s Lab, along with modifiers that affect future attempts.

The expansion adds Invisible Woman and Doctor Doom as playable characters. Susan Storm uses her light-bending abilities and force fields in combat, while Doctor Doom fights using advanced armour and occult powers. Both characters bring new abilities to the existing roster.

Marvel Cosmic Invasion: The Siege of Castle Doom DLC provides a devilish roguelite gauntlet

Marvel Cosmic Invasion has once again gotten DLC, this time bringing us The Siege of Castle Doom. As should be expected, it focuses heavily on Doctor Doom himself, but unlike previous Cosmic Invasion DLC, we get more than just new playable characters this time (although Doctor Doom and Sue Storm are awesome). We also got a roguelite game mode that adds more to the game regardless of which characters you play, making this some of the best additional content for the game yet.

An unlikely duo: Invisible Woman & Doctor Doom

Sue Storm and Victor Von Doom are the new playable characters in The Siege of Castle Doom. Much like what we’ve seen in other DLC, they add more fun to the roster with a bevy of combat moves based on their iconic abilities.

Sue Storm is a technical powerhouse in this game. Her projectile holds an enemy in place while she either tees up a vicious combo or focuses on other threats. If she finds herself dealing with aerial foes, she can bring her ground game up to them, making a walkable platform with her barrier powers that allows her to use her regular standing moves on airborne foes.
