  "summary": "Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls is a new Marvel tag fighting game that has an uphill battle to live up to the legacy of the beloved Marvel vs. Capcom series. The game is a 4v4 tag fighter with unique rules, including a shared lifebar for all characters on a team, which aims to control the chaos of having eight swappable characters in a single match.\n\nThe game's fighting mechanics are considered fun and mechanics-driven, but not always intuitive, according to IGN. The game's gorgeous action and fantastic roster of characters, along with its unique take on tag fighting, allow for flexibility in how many characters players need to learn to be competitive.\n\nThe game is still in the review process, with IGN noting that they need to spend more time playing the game to give a final review. The game's developer is ArcSystem Works, and it has had an open beta with online matches.",
