MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls

I have a low spec gaming laptop by today's standards and this game doesn't run well on it. As to be expected from a Unreal 5 game but it's really a bummer that this game isn't accessible to people without consoles or high enough specs for a fighting game.

Honestly, the game runs fine right now, and I'm sure it will only get better with time, the characters are really unique and fun to play. That being said, it will never fully recover from the damage caused by the initial release. A lot of players refunded the game, while PS5 players turned off crossplay to avoid laggy matches with PC players and probably won't ever turn it back on. It is such an unfortunate thing that an IP this big suffered like this. One can only hope that a crazy DLC brings the players back to the game.

I've played about 10ish casual matches and haven't experienced any issues yet and I've had fun. However I realize that my case is very rare and ppl don't deserve a game whose netplay doesn't work

the 4.7 hours on the game are about fix stuff, i just can get into the game because the sdk dont log in into my account, the screen get stuck in "configuring network" i wait for long time, i just did all i can do and nothing works and i refuse to format my pc because of this game, big shame on arcsys to permit sony do this and just bad performance for a fighthing game, i dont have a powerfull pc, but at least i can play a lot big games, all resident evil games, the spiderman games, and games like that but this game can even login my account, sorry for my poor english is not my first lenguage. i cant refund now sadly, dont waste money until this game get fix and hopefully remove the PSN stuff

For every good thing i can say about this game i can think of atleast 2 things that annoy me. TLDR; story sucks, performance sucks, doesnt run on linux, combat is clunky, Online barely functions (for some people) This game doesnt run on Linux. Why? they just wont let you. Easy Anti cheat runs on linux, you can play helldivers 2, god of war, ghost of tsushima on linux with the psn overlay with no issues so why exclude linux. Game looks great BUT performance isnt great, imagine having to use upscalers and induce input delay to get good visuals and a solid framerate. The devs said some fixes on the way but its unacceptable non the less especially if you consider their other games dont have these issues. The story in this game is TERRIBLE. you can beat each story in about an hour. The fights are very easy and the ai doesnt pose any challenge, they are pretty much a punching bag. The dialog isnt great and feels like all the characters are waffling around until they remember they have to push the plot forward, the main villians motivation is just pathetic and silly. very laughable for an game that costs $79.99. Combat is just clunky. It feels like you are fighting the game to get what you want. Dragon punch motions need to end in downforward or it wont register. you cannot call assist while performing a special move only before or after it. The major defencive mechanic in this game is just diet Drive impact, i wish there was something more interesting. Cant disable auto combo. I genuinely like how the characters in this game are designed if you can get past all of this you will have one. This is the one singular nugget of gold this game has Theres odd things like the game not having native Playstation controller support, if you have a LICENCED SONY CONTROLLER like i do (Mad Catz TE2+) you will need to use steaminput. Why does the game pause when i hit the right side of the touchpad? Online is a toss up, some people get smooth games others like me, get 8 frames of rollback with 40ms on wired gigabit internet. Theres also one sided rollback playing Vs people on ps5 or PCs that cant handle the game you will get stutters while they can combo you like nothing is happening. Its a hard game to recommend unless youre super into fighting games or played it before hand

Runs great for me even on maxed settings 1440p, wish it ran great for everyone because the game is super good..

No support for linux is crazy, I spent 100 dollars on the ultimate edition and everything. Only for the game to tell me to go ♥♥♥♥ myself even though I know damn well it would run just fine with the proton compatibility layer. This isn't a shooter, I see no point in kernel level anti cheat. Guess I'm taking my money back
