Marvel Tokon Launches to 36% Steam Rating as PC Performance Issues Hit 60 FPS

3 articles · Updated · Polygon · Aug 6

Summary

  • Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls opened to a 36% Steam user rating, with Windows players reporting frame drops, micro-stutters and unstable 60 FPS even on high-end PCs.
  • Those technical problems spill into online matches because an opponent’s low framerate can make fights jumpy, amplifying launch-day frustration beyond single-player performance.
  • Arc System Works’ fighter still draws praise for its comic-anime visuals and promising story mode, but the core combat is criticized as sluggish despite its four-versus-four tag format.
  • That mix leaves the game caught between newcomer-friendly pacing and high-level tag-fighter chaos, raising doubts about its competitive appeal even if post-launch fixes improve the PC port.
