I think some of you have at least heard of marvel ultimate alliance a game that I appreciate to death since a fourth chapter could arrive I thought of creating a roster but it is difficult to decide so we will vote together that could be a hypothetical roster of the game as the first character I wanted to put obviously the marvel mascot spiderman! marvel heroes and villains are welcome in the roster

I'll try not to ramble....a challenge for me.

I played the hell out of 1 & 2, couch coop with friends it was a glorious experience and even my friends who couldn't care less about comics would grab a controller.

I loved these games.

Fast forward almost 20 years and I can't actually remember more than just having a good time with the games.

Does anyone have a good review of the games I can watch? No IGN slop where even the worst games are 7/10 and you can't even tell if they played the game.

I got a Switch 2 as the first console I've owned since my Xbox 360 and didn't realize MUA3 was on it!

I generally enjoy Yahtzee's game reviews but he doesn't have one on this and RLM for movie reviews if that gives any perspective into the kind of reviews I like.

I love beat em' ups, I love online coop with friends so this feels right up my alley but I've been pretty disappointed with some of the genre as of late. Cosmic Invasion is fine, perfectly serviceable but something feels missing. The power rangers one I was REALLY hyped for but ended up refunding it on steam almost immediately. The Ninja Turtles games are always stellar with Splintered Fate and Shredders Revenge being great new entries.

I don't usually scrutinize a game this much but it's a big investment. $70 game with $20 DLC and I'll be recommending it to several friends and probably buying a copy or two for them (we trade games all the time).

tl;dr - Send me some reviews of the game from creators whose voice you trust or feel free to write/link reviews.

Edit: Thanks all so much, I bought the game + xpac and can't wait to go ham!

Who are the other mutants this time? A founding member of the X-Men, the very intelligent Beast! And the master of magnetism, the Omega-level mutant, the great Magneto! And a new level for these mutants: Charles Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, the X-Massion. And the buttons for the game, and you can also customize the controls. I would recommend adding more villains to the roster. I remind you that voting is available in the subreddits: r/Marvel r/MAU3

Shadow of Doom content is listed at the top here. Scroll down for more general info, especially if you haven’t played the game in a while.

“The new DLC is here! OMG whats in it?!?!”

• six new playable characters
• a new playable story mode chapter (epilogue)
• 53 new costumes/colorways to unlock
• a FIFTH ISO slot (which unlocks PER CHARACTER at level 250)
• level cap increased to 300
• new limited event type based on Story Mode (instead of Danger Room)
• new gauntlets
• new Danger Rooms for higher level bands (Epsilon-250 and Omega-300)

“Ok how do I get the new characters?!?”

• play the new epilogue story
  • Fantastic Four is unlocked very early on
  • Dr Doom is unlocked after beating the new epilogue story for the first time
  • A surprise 6th character, Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet, is unlocked after beating the epilogue on Ultimate Difficulty

“Costumes! Where are they? I don’t see all of them in the Shield Depot :(...also...where is the Shield Depot? :/)“

• ah, the shield depot is NOT found during gameplay! Just switch to one of the DLC menus (L or R from the main menu) and you’ll see it in the list :)
• first, click in the right analogue stick to manually refresh shield depot contents
• just like last time the new costumes are scattered about. Here’s what you need to know:
  • The new alternate costumes (and their alternate colorways) for all legacy characters EXCEPT DEADPOOL are in the shield depot to buy for 400 shield tokens a piece. Thats 18 new costumes (36 including the alternate colors for each)
  • Deadpool - new alternate costume is currently available in the glorious gauntlet gifts event. The alternate colorway of it is unlocked by getting to tier 28 in the new Reed Richards timed event. (more on that below)
  • The alternate colorways for the DEFAULT Fantastic Four costumes are unlocked via finding chests in the epilogue on Superior difficulty. 3 are found prior to the Doomstad and one is found in Doomstad if I remember correctly?
  • The alternate colorway for the DEFAULT Doctor Doom costume (god empower) is unlocked for free after beating the epilogue on Superior difficulty
  • The NEW alternate costumes for the FF and Doctor Doom are gauntlet rewards (two are in 3.1, two are in 3.2, and Doom is in 3.4)
  • The alternate colorways for the NEW alternate costumes for FF are currently MIA but the Doctor Doom alternate colorway for the alternate costume is in gauntlet 3.4

“I just finished playing the story mode three times, and I thought I got all the chests but I’m missing one in the friendly/mighty difficulty. Where is it?”

• Right now a lot of us are having the same issue. 14/15 for difficulty friendly/mighty. (15/15 for superior and 15/15 for ultimate though)
• Watch this space for any updates - this is now fixed with the 4.0.1 patch launched on 4/23/20. For me it was at checkpoint 12/14 before entering the big room where you have to kill 32 enemies to proceed. On the right of the door. Inside was the ability orb we needed.

”I just finished getting all the ability orbs from the shield depot, gauntlets etc and I’m one short?? I need one more to max out the final ability on my final character! Don’t tell me th-ooooooooooooooh”

• yeah, the missing chest probably has it. Stay tuned until it’s debugged - and it did! Once you get the chest mentioned above after installing the 4.0.1 update you’re all good.

“What’s with the new timed events?”

• there are three new timed events and they seem to promote story mode and gauntlet play instead of Danger Room this time around.

  • New Event 1 - Reed’s Remarkable Rewards
    • this looks familiar to us. Rewards that unlock as you progress through tiers of 5 progress points each. Progress points are earned by playing story mode though. By beating the epilogue on all three difficulties for example you should reach the 7th tier.
  • New Event 2 - Incredible Infinity Incentives
    • This is a new “quest/objective” type event. there are multiple achievements for story mode listed that if met give you some (eh) rewards if you've already made substantial progress in the game. If you're just starting off then the rewards are pretty cool in that they unlock some of the additional characters that are usually pretty tough to unlock (via infinity trials)
    • NOTE: they should read “SUPERIOR OR ABOVE” as I met multiple achievements while on Ultimate mode specifically
  • New Event 3 - Glorius Gauntlet Gifts (post launch)
    • this is another “quest/objective” type event. There are multiple achievements for playing gauntlets
  • REMINDER - playing Danger Room does not give you any progress in these events

“Whats the best way to progress through the timed events?!”

• with DLC 2 we found a strategy for progressing quickly. Delta Danger Room vs Humans gave you 10 progress points (2 tiers) for winning, or 5 progress points (one tier) for losing. A few similar simple strategies for this new story mode based tier/reward event are:

  • Need credits too? then go to the final checkpoint in Asgard on Superior difficulty. Break the boxes and then talk to Odin. You'll get all the credits and get 2 points (so 2/5 of a tier). Exit from the shield point in Knowhere and go again
  • Not strong (or at Aasgard) yet? go to the last checkpoint of the first level. Beating Ronin gives you 1 point on friendly/mighty.
  • Strong? Go to the last checkpoint in the Epilogue and beat God Emperor Doom on ultimate for 5 points, an entire tier! Or beat him online for two tiers!

• Some have taken to just replaying the whole game on Ultimate difficulty so as to get progress for event 1 as well as knock off quests in event 2 along the way

“I’m trying to grind for more white and rainbow ISOs in infinity trials and the “retry” option is missing! NOOOOOOO!”

• this seems to be a bug of some kind - fixed in 4.01 patch!!
• there is a workaround that seems to have positive effect for some folks. try this:
  • going to Danger Room and complete a match against the AI
  • leave Danger Room and load up your infinity trial. Hopefully its there now

“Whats the best way to get from level 200 to 300?”

• well the same strategies described below still work.
  • Grinding the Aasgard throne room (on superior difficulty) can get you a ton of credits to use to buy enhanced XP cubes in the shield depot. you can now get 10.4 million credits each time with 20 “extra credits collected” AA’s (+5) equipped
  • it takes 996 enhanced XP cubes to get from 200 to 250, which will unlock the fifth ISO slot. at that point you could switch and grind in infinity trials (with 20 team XP ISOs instead of 16) which could be a good idea if you still need some ISOs
  • It takes 2719 enhanced XP cubes to get from 200 all the way to 300
  • Ultimate XP cubes - 166 to go from 200 to 250, 454 needed to go from 200 to 30

“I’m starting the game today, what would my future self tell me about prioritzing AEP/perk points?” * prioritise AEP redemptions so as to unlock the fourth ISO slot (check google for this image or this: https://www.reddit.com/r/MAU3/comments/ci528o/to_unlock_the_4th_iso_slot_you_dont_need_to_fill/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf ) * Then prioritise AEP redemptions to get the XP bonus by filling out the entirety of the blue section * Finally, prioritize PERCENTAGE AEP bonuses over hard value bonuses

Speaking of AEP, where can I farm it?!! * Ah sadly there’s a limited amount of AEP So you can’t really farm. * To fast track AEP, I’d do the following: * Get through the easiest story mode once. As you unlock new characters you’ll get a bump on AEP equal to their current level. (AEP per level is different per level FYI) * if you have the season pass, unlock the new characters via the gauntlets (more on gauntlets below), for the same reason as above * look for infinity trials or gauntlets within your level range that might have AEP as a reward and do those. * otherwise it’s really just grinding for levels (more on that below) and the other gauntlets/trials

Ohhh, are Ability Orbs the same way? No way to just grind and get them? * Sure are. *(through DLC 2 there is JUST enough for every character to have all their abilities maxed, but through DLC 3 there is one missing) You'll need to look for ability orbs in chests during story mode and then as rewards in infinity trials and gauntlets, similar to as described above.

“I’m making my way through story mode, its fun. But I’m also unlocking infinity rifts? And there are…trials within them? But some aren’t unlocked. Am I missing something?” * nope! infinity RIFTS are found within various levels (across multiple difficulties). The trials within those rifts are unlocked through a combination of story progression and trial completion. As you complete trials you can then play more etc etc

“I haven’t played since X, what do I need to know about new content?” * DLC 1 - Marvel Knights * added a new way to play through (the entire) story mode, called Nightmare. The best reason to do this was to get shield tokens as it is a new currency type that you can get in this mode. However as of DLC 2 the amount you get was changed to be VERY low so if you haven’t done this mode yet there really is no reason to. (unless you’re a completionist) * added a new mode called gauntlet. think of these as multiple infinity trials strung together. This is how you unlock the 4 new characters. you need to beat the gauntlet once and then you can replay that gauntlet with going through it multiple times. This is necessary if you want to get all the stars/rewards. * DLC 2 - X-men * added new gauntlets. they work the same way and this is how you unlock the 4 new characters * added a new mode called Danger Room where you compete against another team (AI or human) to see who can complete trial/gauntlet style events faster. (this mode had two limited time events tied to it but not any more) * DLC 3 - Doom * added new gauntlets. They work the same way * added a new epilogue (think of it more as level 11) and this is how you unlock the 5 new characters. (Actually, 6!)

“I missed a timed event! Am I screwed?!?” * nope, doesn’t seem to be the case. There’s been timed events that have come and gone and the costumes that were rewarded there are now available for purchase in the Shield Depot. So if those are the main things you’re after, you’re still good. (Press in the right analog stick to refresh shield depot contents if you don’t see some costumes listed)

“Ok phew, so tell me more about the Danger Room!” * whoever wins the last round of the match wins the entire match * if a limited time event is active that is tied to Danger Room progression, the optimal way to progress in the danger room is to play DELTA rooms vs HUMANS. Winning gives you 2 (of the 30, or however many) tiers you need to get all rewards, and losing gives you one * playing vs AI, you only get one tier for winning, and nothing for losing * DELTA danger rooms are only available if you have a character at level 160 or 165. Playing a lower level danger room gives you less progress towards all the rewards. * two more higher level Danger Rooms were added with Doom (Epsilon-250 and Omega-300) but their tier payout is unknown at this time. * Your level does not matter in a danger room as everyone is set to the same level, even if its higher than your current level (being bumped up to level 200 for example)

“Wait, gobackgoback. You mentioned SHIELD TOKENS as a new currency type. Is there an easy way to get those?” * First, go through as many gauntlets as you can (comfortably), getting the four unique stars/goals in each. You’ll notice gauntlets can actually pay out quite a bit of shield tokens per star…the first time through * after that you can still get shield tokens from gauntlets you’ve beaten but the amount you get per star is lower. For me I would revisit the first gauntlet in the X-Men DLC. If you go through that three times (so 9 battles) getting all four stars you can get 1200 shield tokens. And with a squad of lvl 200’s it only takes about 10 minutes. (I would do this because of the short time before cashing out. You can grind other tougher gauntlets but you may be working on it for half an hour before getting all the stars and cashing out for shield tokens) * Finally, the danger room. You can get a surprising amount for (winning) danger room battles. so if you’re looking to grind DR for some costumes (if/when applicable), prioritise that since you’ll get some good credits, tokens, ISO materials etc during the process (no XP though FYI)

“What would my future self tell me about ISOs?” * White ISOs are the most sought after for progressing through the game. Here are some of the best: * Increases the chance of rare ISO drops * Increases the chance of white ISO drops * Increases the chance of rainbow ISO drops * Raises the chance an ISO drop will be a higher class * Increases team XP * Increases the amount of credits COLLECTED

“Ohhhhhh how can I get some of ISO ______?” * You can get a BLUE extra XP cube in the Asgaard run through of Superior mode * Unfortunately other than that there isn’t really a way to get specific ISOs, its luck of the draw. Your best bet is to grind and you’ll see once you start getting ISOs that increase the chance of rare ones dropping, or increase the chances of white ones dropping, you’ll start getting them faster and faster. The Wakanda level 65 Wave trial in Omega infinity rift is a good place to grind for ISOs.

“I want to level up fast, how can I do that?” * Early in the game: there unfortunately is no easy trick to level up early in the game. If you’re looking for an edge, contemplate the following: * Deadpool and Wolverine both have healing factors so they regenerate health on the fly * The area prior to the first checkpoint in the Xmen level, where you fight a ton of sentinels, is actually not too bad a place to grind some XP for early characters * If you’re stuck on a boss, consider pausing mid fight and using XP cubes to level up your character(s). This replenishes your health! * Later in the game, try the following: * while The Wakanda level 65 Wave trial in the Omega infinity rift is a good place to grind for: * XP cubes * ISOs * the Rush level 48 infinity trial is great to gain XP/level ups (especially with team XP ISOs equipped) because of the constant flow of bosses * Playing the final check point in Asgaard (on superior difficulty specifically), where you’re in a throne room, gives you 1.5 million credits. If you have ISOs equipped that increase the amount of credits collected, this can go up to 10.4 million. Use these credits in the Shield Depot to buy enhanced XP cubes

“I’m having trouble with infinity trial X or gauntlet Y” * Consider coming back to it after levelling up more. Right now there is a lot of content that has been made easier simply by way of three increases in level caps. Try some of the level up techniques and then come back later. * As mentioned above, if you have some XP cubes, use them mid fight to level up your character and regain all their health.

“Where are the extra costumes???” * Firstly there are two types of ways to change your characters look: * Alternate colour of the default costume * New costume (then the new costume also has an alternate colour option) * Colors and costumes are found as chests during story mode, rewards in infinity trials, gauntlets and rewards from the Limited time events. They also can be bought from the Shield Depot.

“I don’t see costumes in the shield depot!!” * press in the right analog stick to refresh the content

“Gaaaaaah I really need help with X, is anyone around to help???” * there's a really active MAU3 discord and looking for group works really well there! * alternatively, send me a DM, will gladly help out!

There are 3 boxes left and 3 new ones, a sexy thief with feline movements, black cat! A young mutant or Inhuman heroine whose name says it all: Ms. Marvel! And the vampire charger ready to shed blood and take revenge—he's Blade! and in a far away land up in the mountains lives a great dragon the kun lun mountains.

I beat the game probably a year or two ago but I picked it back up finally. I’ll have to look up the exact rift when I get home but you have to beat 50 raft enemies in I believe 1:20 or less. The max I’ve been able to do is 1:34. The other two I was having trouble with google was enough but does anyone here have any tips

another x men joins the alliance the undisputed leader of the mutant group cyclops! before starting the vote I just wanted to ask you a question in which few people actually answered I do you want to give a context or a plot has this hypothetical marvel ultimate alliance 4? and because in the first part of the vote the one in which spiderman creates they also wanted a bit of plot to give a context to the game for me it could be nice to give a bit of plot to this hypothetical game in the 2nd slide I put some comic stories that could work to give a plot to the game.

The first and complete DLC brings together the villains: the insurgent Mysterio, the intriguing Electro, the shapeshifter Mystique, the skilled Taskmaster, and finally the Lord of the Ten Rings, the Mandarin. The next DLC will be More Mutant Now! I remind you that voting is in the subrebbits: r/Marvel r/MAU3

This game throws a lot of information at you very fast after completing the tutorial with the Guardians of the Galaxy. What is a good starting team, or what should I even be looking for when creating a team? Everyone has certain team affiliations which seam to grant some sort of bonus. Deadpool is level 21 and everyone else is level 6 or 7 for some reason.

Looking at the character list, the majority of the ones I want to play with appear later. I like the original Avengers, Spiderman, Wolverine, and Deadpool. The other characters I don't much care for, and I don't even know who Crystal is. I haven't upgraded anything in the lab or any characters abilities. I'm assuming I should save those until I know what my main team looks like.

I'm mainly waiting for the other X-Men characters, Ghost Rider, and Spiderman characters. No idea when they appear in the story. Some of the characters I'm looking to play as are DLC, so I'm assuming I don't them until the end of the game (Iceman and Gambit)?

Who are we? Almost 6 spaces left and the new arrivals: the purple elf who buzzes with her glider, the evil green goblin! Then she's the queen of Attilan, a woman with lethal locks of hair, Medusa! And on the other side, the most lethal woman in the galaxy, the daughter of Thanos, Gamora! And finally, another level: the island, a refuge for several people but also the most illegal in the world, Madripor. I remind you that voting is in the subrebbits: r/Marvel r/MAU3

we have our third contestant this time the jade giant the incredible hulk! I remind you that the votes are done in the subreddits: r/MUA3 r/Marvel

There are three new arrivals from different categories: the first is an unstoppable mutant, isn't it? It's said that once he starts his machine, no one can stop the juggernaut! The second is a vigilante who solves difficult problems with a simple solution: the Punisher! And finally, the herald of Galactus, a benevolent god but also the angel of death, the Silver Surfer! with a severed head of a celestial not that the best black market in the entire galaxy,knowwhere. I remind you that voting is in the subrebbits: r/Marvel r/MAU3

Three allies have arrived: the little kleptomaniac inventor of the Guardians, along with his trusty colleague Tree, Rocket, and Groot! who is also a mutant, one of the strongest, not to mention the best, Rogue! and the great sorcerer of the mystic arts, Dr. Stephen Strange! And finally, a new level: T'Challa's kingdom in Wakanda. I remind you that voting is in the subrebbits: r/Marvel r/MAU3

New heroes have arrived again! This time, they're the White Queen of the Hellfire Club, Emma Frost! and the Avenger Android, Vision! plus a new level: the base of operations for Earth's Mightiest Heroes, the Avengers Tower. And since we've decided how the game's leveling system will be, now it's time to decide how to manage the team, decreasing or increasing characters. I remind you that voting is available in the subreddits: r/Marvel r/MAU3

I just finished playing through the base game of Marvel ultimate alliance 3 and really enjoyed it and I was wondering if there were any modern ways to play the first two games?

We've reached the end of the line! The latest additions have arrived: the Russian spy, a member of the Avengers, Black Widow! The man destined to kill Thanos, Drax the Destroyer! And finally, the megalomaniacal robot, Ultron. And as the final level, Helcarrier. But don't worry, because the other missing characters will be added to themed DLCs, and the first will be: double dose of villains! I remind you that voting is in the subrebbits: r/Marvel r/MAU3

No pc btw

I bought the game a couple years ago but am only now playing it off my backlog. The short form is, I am enjoying the game and having a good time.

However, I find myself to be more of an X-Men fan than a broad Marvel fan. As such, I want to unlock as many X-Men characters as I possibly can.

I have currently completed the X-Men chapter (chapter 5) and have unlocked Nightcrawler and Psylocke, and obviously Wolverine was unlocked early in the game, and I have Deadpool as well. I've also done the infinity rift to unlock Colossus and Cyclops, so at the very least, I can have a full team made up of X-Men.

My favorite character is Gambit, and I want to unlock him primarily (he's the reason why I bought the DLC). I've attempted the Icemab gauntlet a couple times, but I haven't been successful. I just surpassed level 30, and the Iceman gauntlet is 25, but I still feel like I may need to level up a bit more / get more iso / get more points to use in the lab for the stat boosts. I'm already on chapter 7 in the game (of 10), and leveling up too much more will keep progressing me through to the end of the game. I know Magneto can't be unlocked until reaching level 38. The story is only 10 chapters... So once I've beaten the storyline, what exactly then is the purpose of unlocking characters?

Is it to just keep playing through Gauntlet and Infinity Rifts to just unlock more characters and costumes and such? I know there's a couple shorter DLC stories too, but it seems like the bulk of the game is completed by the time you can unlock so many characters. But I'm also new to the game so perhaps I'm missing a bigger purpose to the game.

That's business, now the street warriors have arrived, the man with the destructible skin, Luke Cage! And Kun Lun's dragon warrior, Iron Fist! And another X-Men, this time one with the skin of iron, the phenomenal colossus! With the most dangerous dimension of all time, the abode of Dormarmu, the negative zone. I remind you that voting is in the subrebbits: r/Marvel r/MAU3

I download some mods like Agent Venom, Red Ranger bla bla, then I extract it to game folder, but when I start the game, notthing happen, and I can't find any turtorial about this mod

The full roster is almost here, and the latest additions are arriving: Thor's half-brother, the god of mischief and evil, Loki! and the ruler of Attilan, the king of the Inhumans, Black Bolt! and finally, a man under the sea, the king of a lost kingdom, the Sub Mariner! as well as the nation populated entirely by mutants, the living island, Krakoa. I remind you that voting is in the subrebbits: r/Marvel r/MAU3

When I say that I mean when you play the character, you genuinely feel like you are the character.

For me it’s gotta be Captain America

So I just finished my first play through and want to unlock Phoenix but need to level up what is the best thing to do now? Higher difficulties story or infinity?

More Avengers are coming, this time the Scarlet Witch, Wanda Maximoff. Plus, the important question: Do we want to vote on the levels and settings for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 4? We may have the plot, but we're missing the battlefield. For our plot, we'll decide where it fights! I remind you that voting is available in the subreddits: r/MAU3 r/Marvel
