Overview: Free to play, team-based PVP shooter with Marvel characters.
20250419:
Today, my friend and I tried this game out for the first time.
Setup: Keyboard and mouse
Gameplay Log:
We each played individually through the tutorial
We played a couple of matches versus AI.
We each played inidivudally through some Hero tutorials which lets you choose from a subset of the roster and go in depth on using their abilities or team-ups.
We played two matches versus players.
Off the top of my head, I tried playing with the following characters: Spider-Man, Magneto, Hawkeye, Cloak & Dagger, Emma Frost, Storm, Iron Man, Wolverine, Captain America, and Invisible Woman.
Among the characters I tried, I most enjoyed Hawkeye, Emma Frost, and Invisible Woman. Wolverine is also a strong contender to being in my top three, but he does this jump which I didn't quite understand how to aim. One thing I didn't try was the Practice mode which probably would have been a more relaxed setting for experimenting with movesets. Oh, actually Magneto was kind of decent for me as well, but I suppose I disliked his lower firing rate. As for Invisible Woman, her shield and ultimate benefit from greater coordination and/or understanding from other players. This contrasts with the support ability of Claok & Dagger.
Looking at a tier list, I have not played many of the characters ranked S+ on a "Below Diamond Tier List": Rocket Raccoon, Groot, Moon Knight, Scarlet Witch, Peni Parker, Luna Snow, and Psylocke. I've only played Emma Frost and Cloak & Dagger.

Steam Game Time: 2.9 hours

Today I played intending on practicing Emma Frost. But it can be tough to always lock the character in, because other players sometimes enter the character select first. Then I got sidetracked by the missions and started doing them. Currently I have three missions remaining related to each of the classes: deal damage, take damage, and heal.

Thoughts:
Pros:
+ Play as Marvel character
Neutral:
~ I believe running is default movement but characters don't feel fast when running. Some character seem to have better movement (action associated to "Shift") than others.
~ This type of game has so much going on for a player like me
~ A lot of cool MTX... Doesn't seem easy to generate free currency to make purchases. But certain missions do unlock some freebies...
