About the game
Get your shield or your armor ready, because things just got heated! If you thought the biggest problem for heroes was defeating intergalactic villains, get ready for the real chaos: a family feud. Marvel United: Civil War dives straight into the epicenter of the conflict between Iron Man and Captain America, transforming what was a cooperative game into an electrifying PvP battlefield. The Superhuman Registration Act has split the universe, and now you aren't just trying to save the world from a giant monster; you're trying to prove your side is right (and powerful enough) to win.

What makes this expansion a total game-changer is the radical shift in gameplay dynamics. Forget the villains for a moment; here, your adversary is the friend sitting across the table. The expansion offers two combat modes tailored for different player types. If you're looking for something lighter and faster, the 'Clash of Heroes' mode is perfect for a casual and fun skirmish. However, if you're the type who craves deep strategy, asymmetry, and wants to feel the weight of every political and tactical decision, the 'Registration Clash' mode is your playground. It is more competitive and dives deep into the Civil War theme, requiring surgical precision in your hand management to overcome the unique abilities of your opponents.

Featuring a roster of heroes selected from both sides of the conflict, the variety is massive. You can assemble pro-registration teams or join the Secret Avengers to fight for freedom. The chibi aesthetic remains, maintaining that charming visual style the United line is known for, but don't be fooled: the tension between players is real. It is an experience of tactical combat, resource management, and, above all, plenty of healthy rivalry. It is the perfect upgrade for those who already love the Marvel United system but now want to test their skills against actual heroes!
