Following the successful US launch of the game this summer, players across the globe can now enjoy frenetic, action-packed missions. MARVEL Tsum Tsum gives players of all ages the chance to save the world as their favorite Super Heroes such as Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, Hulk, Ant-Man, Star-Lord, Gamora, Rocket Raccoon, Spider-Man, and many more! Battle the evil forces of the Marvel Universe including Loki, Ultron, and Venom.
Gameplay is simple yet strategic: connect three or more of any of the same Tsum Tsum by tracing lines on the screen to eliminate them and save the day. The more you connect, the greater the power you’ll wield! Erase your chosen Super Hero Tsum Tsum to collect energy, release devastating skills and special attacks, and leverage abilities to support your friends in the new Multiplayer Battle mode.
Multiplayer Battle mode allows players to team up and defeat Super Villains for greater rewards. Players can team up with a friend and play 2-player co-op, in addition to many levels of single player gameplay.
Celebrating the upcoming release of Marvel’s Doctor Strange, MARVEL Tsum Tsum players will be able to use Doctor Strange and The Ancient One to defeat Mordo to get more Tsum Tsum!
MARVEL Tsum Tsum is developed by NHN PlayArt Corp., published by XFLAG, a mixi game development studio, and officially licensed by Marvel Entertainment in cooperation with The Walt Disney Company (Japan) Ltd. MARVEL Tsum Tsum is available to download for free, today.
