About the game
Marvel Zombies: Heroes' Resistance drops 1-4 players into an infected Marvel universe where beloved heroes have turned into ravenous zombies. Built on the core mechanisms of the Zombicide series, this cooperative game has you and your team of survivors moving across a modular board, scavenging supplies, and fighting off waves of undead. Dice rolling and action points drive tense encounters as you complete mission objectives before you're overwhelmed. Variable player powers let each hero play differently, and a scenario-based campaign structure keeps the fight against the infection fresh over multiple sessions.
Hobbli's Notes
If you enjoy Zombicide's brand of frantic co-op zombie mayhem, slapping a Marvel license on top is an easy sell. The miniatures and horror-tinged reimagining of familiar heroes give it a strong hook for fans of the IP. It won't reinvent the genre, but it delivers exactly the kind of accessible, chaotic team survival experience its source material promises. A good pick for groups who already like dice-driven co-op skirmishes.
What we like
- Miniatures and a modular board create an immersive tactical battlefield.
- Cooperative play encourages teamwork against a shared threat.
- Variable player powers give each hero a distinct feel.
- Scenario-driven campaign adds long-term structure and replay value.
- Solo mode makes it playable even without a group.
Keep in mind
- Dice-driven combat introduces a fair amount of luck.
- Miniature-heavy production can be a costly investment.
- Downtime can build in the four-player configuration.
- Familiarity with Zombicide-style rules helps but isn't required.
Who it's for
Fans of Marvel characters and cooperative dungeon-crawl style games, ages 14 and up, playing in groups of 2-4.
