Developed by Capcom and released in 1996 for the SNES, Marvel Super Heroes: War of the Gems is a challenging 2D side-scrolling beat ’em up that tasks you with recovering the Infinity Gems. You can swap between five playable heroesโSpider-Man, Captain America, Iron Man, Wolverine, and the Hulkโeach bringing their own unique movement and combat abilities to the fight against Thanos and his minions.
How to Play
Navigate diverse levels and use your hero’s attacks and special moves to clear out enemies and defeat bosses. For SNES games in the browser, use the Arrow keys to move, Z, X, A, and S for your primary attacks and jumps, Enter to pause, and Shift to select. You can execute unique abilities for each character, such as Spider-Man’s wall climb or Iron Man’s double jump, to survive tricky sections.
Tips
- Equip the Gems: Before each stage, you can equip a recovered Infinity Gem to augment your character’s stats. For example, the Time Gem increases your movement speed, while the Power Gem maximizes your attack damage.
- Match the Hero to the Level: Health is persistent and characters have different strengths. Save heavy hitters like the Hulk for boss fights and rely on agile characters like Wolverine or Spider-Man to navigate difficult platforming hazards.
