Maximilian Dood Uninstalls Marvel Tokon PC Port as Steam Reviews Sink to 41%

2 articles · Updated · IGN · Aug 9

Summary

  • Two days after launch, Maximilian Dood removed Marvel Tokon’s PC version on stream, saying the stuttering made the 4v4 fighter “un-fun” and too frustrating to keep playing.
  • PC complaints have piled up since the August 6 release, dragging the game to 41% positive reviews across all languages on Steam and “Mostly Negative” 39% in English.
  • Arc System Works has said it is investigating some issues, but the weekend ended without a fix, leaving the PC version’s problems at the center of the game’s launch discussion.
  • PS5 appears largely unaffected: Dood said matches there were smooth even above 100 ms, but he must re-unlock content because the game lacks cross-progression.
  • The split launch reception raises pressure on Sony and Arc System Works to repair the PC port quickly or risk losing players who have already switched platforms.
