Marvel: Contest of Champions is a 2014 free-to-play mobile fighting game developed and published by Kabam. It was released on December 10, 2014 for iOS and Android. The fighting game is primarily set in the Marvel universe.
Players assume the role of a Summoner, tasked by The Collector, to build a team of Marvel heroes and villains and pit them against one another in combat. Gameplay is similar to that of Injustice: Gods Among Us and Mortal Kombat X, where the game's fighting arena is rendered in 3D with a 2D plane for the superheroes' movements and actions. New players begin with access to two characters, and can work to access additional characters including Iron Man, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Hulk, Magneto, Ultron, Loki, and Rhino. Each character is upgradable, featuring their own classes, movements, traits, abilities, and special moves.
Gameplay features an energy system that limits the number of quest-based battles that players can compete in. Energy recharges automatically at a set rate over time or players can refill their energy manually. As players increase their level their energy limit increases as well. Crystals and other items that impact play may be found in chests as players finish battles. In addition to quests, users can battle against opponents in the game's "Versus" mode. Here, players can choose their own username to identify them in the battle. They can then play against other players' champions in one-on-one matches or three-on-three limited time arenas. Opponents are A.I.-controlled so therefore they are not actual real-time players. Controversially, Marvel: Contest of Champions requires a persistent Internet connection in order to play both these single and multiplayer modes.
