Why you might like it

  • A kid-friendly MMORPG built around Marvel's chibi-styled Super Hero Squad Show characters, letting players collect heroes, build a personal 'squad', and take on missions — one of the gentler, less combat-intensive entries in the superhero MMO space.
  • Developed with direct Marvel involvement as part of a 10-year collaboration between Gazillion Entertainment and Marvel, giving it a level of official licensing polish uncommon for kids' superhero MMOs.
  • Notable in gaming history as an early Gazillion Entertainment MMO project, predating the studio's later, more combat-focused Marvel Heroes MMORPG.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • The game is permanently closed — Gazillion announced the shutdown on October 11, 2016, delivered one final content update, and closed the servers on January 11, 2017.
  • Gazillion Entertainment itself shut down entirely in November 2017, less than a year after this game's closure, taking down its other Marvel MMO (Marvel Heroes) as well — there's no realistic prospect of an official Marvel-licensed revival given the studio no longer exists.
  • No notable fan private-server revival exists for this title, likely due to the complexity of recreating a licensed Marvel property — unlike some closed kids' MMOs on this list, it currently exists only through archived footage.
