Fantastic Four

About

Play Fantastic Four as a 1997 beat 'em-up where the superhero team faces off against Doctor Doom’s minions. Choose from Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, Ben Grimm, or She-Hulk to punch, kick, and use signature powers across 12 levels. The PlayStation version lets two players team up locally, while the abandoned Sega Saturn port left fans wanting. Levels mix brawling, platforming, and light puzzles, with environments inspired by the comics’ cosmic conflicts. Each character’s moveset reflects their abilities, think fire breath, invisibility, and stretchy grabs. The game’s co-op mode and power-based traversal stand out, letting players combine skills to clear paths or take down bosses. Despite its age, the direct combat and Marvel lore integration kept it popular among retro fans. Community polls often rank it higher than other 90s superhero brawlers, though its Saturn cancellation and lack of online play hold it back. Simple controls and chaotic enemy waves make it a quick pick-up, with replay value in mastering each hero’s playstyle.

Storyline

Doctor Doom has developed a device that transports the Fantastic Four to various locations to battle various monsters and supervillains. Mr. Fantastic assembles a time machine that allows him to transport the team to Doom's tiny kingdom for a final battle. While Galactus does not appear in the game, it is clear that he is behind the destruction of the Skrull homeworld.
