Marvel Games

Marvel games are good and fun and then they vanish from the stores and can not be bought any longer.

Guesses are that it is because of the licensing which would be pretty stupid from Marvel's side, they should change their license model or add something for this situation. The games exist and could be sold and make money. Marvel, the developers AND the buyers would be happy, win:win:win. But they don't do it... why?

Play with one hero

In the screen where you choose all 4 heroes, just add only one to the team and continue playing...
What bellesaurus means is that at some point in every level, you have to use 2 heroes but there usually is a save point close to get a second character in ur team.

Reviving

Get to SAP point. the big blue shiny circles on the floor, and stand over it. Press X and you'll get a menu.

If you have characters who are recently deceased, there will be a timer at the bottom of the menu.
Once that timer is up you'll get an option there that reads: "Revive Team". Use that to bring them back.

You'll need to wait 5 minutes before being able to revive anybody. You'll get a notice when the time has elapsed at the bottom of the screen.
"X hero is Fully Rested".

They are green and called "Shields Access Points" for me. (On the ship where the story begins)

Keyboard + Mouse

Customizing is NOT supported. They prepared it, it seemed, but never implemented or activated it.

For PC:

• Game / Click to move: Off => mouse clicks are attacks
• '1' = 'mouse click left'
• '2' = 'mouse click right'
• '3' = 'space' = jump
• '4' = 'e' = action

digit for QTE, mouse/letter for gameplay

Mapped actions:

• Ctrl+1/2/3/4 (map your extra mouse buttons or alt+1/2/3/4 or something else, perhaps with AutoHotkey.

; UseAltForAssigns v1
; AutoHotkey script which allows to use alt+1 instead of ctrl+1 for the cool actions you can assign
; same for ctrl+2-4
