But Why Tho? - Charles Hartford - 8 / 10

Invincible VS delivers a fun, frantic, and brutal fighting game experience. While it can be unforgiving at times, it never feels like you don't have the tools to survive the bloody battles it challenges you with.

Cerealkillerz - Steve Brieller - German - 7.2 / 10

As a tag fighter for quick sessions in between, Invincible VS definitely impressed us, although the market for this type of game is already well served with upcoming titles like Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls or 2XKO. Unfortunately, the single-player content is really quite weak, and from our perspective the fan service is fairly limited. Fans of the series should carefully consider whether a short story mode and couch versus are enough for them, or whether they're willing to dive into the core of the game to enjoy a very solid online multiplayer experience.

ComingSoon.net - Tyler Treese - 8.5 / 10

Invincible VS is a super fun tag fighting game that makes the most of its franchise and crafts wonderful move lists for its heroes and villains.

Console Creatures - Bobby Pashalidis - 8 / 10

Invincible VS has a ton of potential to make a splash at tournaments. It's brutal, frenetic, and fun, and it's clear Quarter Up made this with love. This is undeniably a sound fighting game, and it really elevates the source material by giving you an outlet for some aggression.

Console-Tribe - Luca Saati - Italian - 75 / 100

Invincible VS is a fun brawler that's extremely faithful to Invincible's brutal tone and mechanically solid in its combat system, backed by excellent tag‑team handling and an art direction that clearly nods to the animated series. The game works both as a fan‑service product and as an accessible title with a decent level of depth, especially once you leave pure button mashing behind and start engaging with its tactics. There's still a bit of a sour taste, though, due to a single‑player offering reduced to the bare bones; if it manages to gain traction in the competitive scene—and the $50 launch price can help—it could become an interesting contender in the crowded fighting‑game roster.

DayOne - Nick Baker - 8.5 / 10

As someone who mostly cares about the core mechanics above all else, I'm pleased to report that Invincible VS lives up to my lofty and possibly unreasonable expectations. The combination of IP authenticity and gory combo focused combat is a mix that for me doesn't really get old and is incredibly fun. Fans of the show will absolutely want to get their hands on this, if for no other reason than to further immerse themselves in the universe.

Digitale Anime - Raouf Belhamra - Arabic - 8 / 10

"When brutality becomes a multiplayer fighting game" Invincible VS delivers a fast-paced, character-switching multiplayer experience with a strong visual identity that faithfully reflects the series' universe. The game prioritizes pacing and cinematic violence over narrative depth, though it isn't fully neglected, making it appealing to action fans. Despite some balance and depth issues, it remains a compelling experience within the modern fighting game genre.

Game Lodge - Leonardo Costa - Portuguese - 9 / 10

Invincible VS is a very honest and brutal fighting game, managing to bring the tone of the original work to the world of video games. With inviting gameplay, it's good for beginners but also offers options for more experienced players. The game also features crossplay, which is great for its community.

GameRant - Nick Rodriguez - 7 / 10

Invincible VS has the looks and source material to make for a solid fighting game, but is it worth your time as a standalone piece of entertainment?

---

Gameliner - Rudy Wijnberg - Dutch - 4 / 5

Fighting game spin-offs of existing animated series haven't managed to excite me the way they used to for quite some time now, yet Invincible VS has succeeded against all odds.

Giant Bomb - Shawn McDowell - 3.5 / 5

Invincible VS is clearly a game by the FGC for the FGC, which results in a double-edged sword. It serves as an incredibly fun and satisfying tool for competition, [...] but after playing through a mediocre "episode" of the show and reaching disappointing arcade mode endings, the casual audience is left with little to do in the game other than rematching the CPU in standard matches over and over.

---

IGN Italy - Stefano Castelli - Italian - 7.5 / 10

Invincible VS is a faithful and enjoyable tag‑fighter with a simple but surprisingly deep combat system. Despite rough animations and some repetitive moves, it's a solid debut that both newcomers and fans can enjoy.

---

IGN Spain - Mario Seijas - Spanish - 8 / 10

Invincible VS is a very solid fighting game. The story is undoubtedly its weakest point, but the fun you'll get from the arcade and online modes is enough to keep you hooked for hours

---

INVEN - Jaihoon Jeong - Korean - 8 / 10

A fighting game based on the comic Invincible, which gained widespread acclaim for its brutally realistic and explicit action. Compared to other titles in the genre, it is exceptionally easy to pick up and play, though that accessibility can somewhat diminish its overall depth and long-term appeal. While the narrative presentation is highly polished, the story itself feels far too short.

---

Just Play it - Ben Abderrahmane Mohamed Samy - Arabic - 6 / 10

Invincible VS makes a strong first impression from the very beginning, offering enjoyable and fast-paced fights. However, it gradually loses its shine due to its inability to make proper use of the Invincible license, along with a superficial story. Although it offers some solid elements, it lacks real distinction. In the end, it may be a suitable experience for those looking for light entertainment, but it will not satisfy players seeking narrative depth or deeper gameplay mechanics.

PSX Brasil - Ivan Nikolai Barkow Castilho - Portuguese - 80 / 100

Invincible VS is a great fighting game with simple controls, but packed with mechanics. It's not easy to master it and will probably appeal more to those who want to delve deeper into its gameplay. The story mode is simple and there are other basic single-player modes, while the online mode does its job. However, the number of characters leaves a little to be desired for a 3v3 game.

Prima Games - Ali Hashmi - 7.5 / 10

Invincible VS is a strong, feature-complete fighter that gets the fundamentals right and delivers a genuinely fun moment-to-moment experience. It is approachable on the surface, but there is more depth once you start digging into its defensive systems, and it stays consistently flashy in a way that makes even casual matches feel good to play. That said, it is still a bit rough around the edges, with some balance quirks and inconsistent visual clarity keeping it from feeling fully polished. As a first outing, it feels confident, aggressive, and fun in a very immediate way, with enough depth for both casual and competitive players to stick with it as it evolves.

---

Quest Daily - Nathanael Peacock - 7 / 10

I'm pleased to say, Invincible VS is great — fighting feels impactful (literally). The story is a bit short and doesn't really break new ground, but if you're here to beat up your friends on the couch, then this is a good time.

República DG - Sherman Castelo - Portuguese - 8.2 / 10

Invincible Versus is a fighting game that nails the fundamentals. The combat is fun, brutal in just the right measure, and becomes more engaging as you learn its mechanics and the unique style of each character. There's an interesting system here, with solid ideas and clear potential for growth—especially appealing to players who enjoy dynamic, team-focused fighters.

The downside is that, at launch, the overall package doesn't fully match the quality of the core gameplay. The story mode is short and not very engaging, the available modes are limited, and repetition sets in quickly, particularly for more casual players.

If you're a fan of the genre, you'll likely find plenty of hours of enjoyment here. Otherwise, it might be worth waiting until the game expands with more content.

SmashPad - 3.5 / 5

Invincible VS is good. It's a big game even if it feels small at times. Good production does it some nice favors and with DLC already lined up, hopefully Quarter Up and Skybound Games can take notes from the community, deliver some surprises, and forge some longevity for those who are jaded and looking for a new mainstay on their hard drives and offer a new way for Invincible fans to experience that universe.

TechRaptor - Luis Joshua Gutierrez - 7 / 10

Invincible VS doesn't have a steep learning curve like many fighting games in the genre, but it is easy to pick up and understand, even if that's to a fault.

WellPlayed - Ash Wayling - 9 / 10

Whether you're a fighting game veteran or someone who usually avoids the genre, Invincible VS offers an intuitive fighting experience that is hard to put down. It's flashy, it's bloody, and most importantly, it's really fun to play.

Worth Playing - Cody Medellin - 8.5 / 10

Invincible Vs. ends up being a very solid 3v3 tag team fighting game. The fighting system is familiar but solid, and even though it doesn't offer anything revolutionary over other tag fighters, its accessibility ensures that players of all skill levels will immediately be able to have fun. The mode selection is small but provides a good amount of entertainment thanks to the brutality of each fight and the number of unlockables. With a solid presentation behind it, Invincible Vs. is a very enjoyable fighting game for fans of the show and genre alike
