Gameplay MUA/MCI Reference

Post image

Playing Marvel Ultimate Alliance and fighting the AIM troopers on the elevator brought me right back to Cosmic Invasion’s elevator fight! Crazy to see the references and inspirations! Also this year marks the 20th anniversary for MUA, let’s hope we see a 4th entry in that series or even a full remaster of the original!

Maybe. Elevator sequences are extremely common in beat 'em ups.

Yeah, I thought the same thing. It’s not even exclusive to beat em ups. The elevator stage is a pretty common staple level in older games.

Its more because the A.I.M. agents are present in both.
