PC Gamer's review of Arc System Works' Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, released August 6, 2026, praises the four-versus-four tag fighter's low skill floor, high skill ceiling, and team-building mechanics. The review, based on a PC build tested on an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070, notes the PC version falls short of console quality and lists Steam Deck as unsupported. The game is published by PlayStation Publishing LLC and costs $60/£60.
The 4v4 Team System
PC Gamer's review describes Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls as a four-versus-four tag fighter with a shared health bar across all characters. Arc System Works developed the game, which launched August 6, 2026, at $60/£60. Players begin a match with two characters and build to four through stage breaks, wall splats, or losing a round. The review contrasts this with traditional 2v2 or 3v3 tag fighters such as Tekken Tag Tournament and 2XKO. The shared health bar is credited with lowering the skill floor, while the game's high skill ceiling leaves room for expression from casual to professional play.
Roster and Character Design
Arc System Works has grouped characters into themed teams of four. The Avengers team includes Captain America, Iron Man, Black Panther, and Hulk. A Samurai Outlaws team includes Robbie Reyes' Ghost Rider, Blade, Deadpool, and Loki. The reviewer singles out Robbie Reyes' Ghost Rider as a personal favorite and says each fighter's moveset is tailored to their personality.
PC Version Performance
PC Gamer reviewed the game on an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 with an AMD Ryzen 9 3900XT and 32GB RAM. The review states the PC version is not up to par with the console version. Steam Deck support is listed as unsupported. PlayStation Publishing LLC published the title.
