After disappearing for about a year after a supposed beta was closed, MultiVersus is back, this time for good, and with new features that players would never have imagined.
In this text we'll go into more detail about MultiVersus and find out whether or not it's worth playing. Check out our review below, which was only possible thanks to the support of Warner Bros Games Brazil.
Platform fighting set in the Warner universe
Inspired by Super Smash Bros of Nintendo, MultiVersus puts you in a battle of up to 4 players, either divided into teams or individually, where you have to throw your opponents off the edge of the screen.
With this, you'll find yourself in the midst of countless characters from the universe of Warner as Batman, Joker, Bugs Bunny, LeBron James, Velma, Shaggy, Finn and much more.
The characters bring something even greater than just the visual aspect. We get to experience unique movements and worlds for each of them, while sporadically the Player First Games is bringing additions to MultiVersusas was the case with Samurai Jack, Jason, Agent Smith and more to come.
In addition to the randomness of the universe coming to MultiVersusThere are some more special cases, such as Beetlejuice coming to the game to celebrate the movie "Ghosts Are Still Having Fun"which opens in cinemas on September 6.
Winning a battle in MultiVersus is not the foundation of combat
Although in theory it's a fighting game, in practice MultiVersus is far from it. Your objective is not to reduce your opponent's health in order to defeat him. You have to throw him off the edge of the screen in a way that catches him by surprise.
You can use your basic or strong moves to do this, as well as items and other resources from the scenery, which will transform your battles.
Again, we mustn't forget that each character has different stats and moves, making the experience and taste more personal to each player.
MultiVersus is not limited to online matches
As expected, the focus of MultiVersus is in multiplayer mode, with 2v2, 1v1, All Against All and the same variations in ranked play. But, contrary to popular belief, the game isn't just limited to online matches.
There is a mode called "Rifts", which is classified as a PvE mode. The rift mode is a mix of minigames and boss fights, where each rift has chapters divided into battles and challenges, with unique modifiers for each scenario.
By completing the objectives and winning the Rift matches, you should receive rewards that you can use to increase your levels and activate the special effects of the blows.
It's a very fun mode for those who don't want to fall into the same old PvP, or even to relax a bit. But in any case, you need to be online to play the mode, after all, it will be constantly updated, so don't consider it an offline mode.
How Pay to Win is MultiVersus?
MultiVersus manages to deliver everything it promises, from gameplay, dubbing, visuals and especially content, but this ends up costing players dearly, especially considering it's a free game.
As well as skins, the characters in MultiVersus are paid, something like Rainbow Six Siege does. The characters here cost 1000 Gleamium, while a premium character (using the Joker as an example) costs 6000 Gleamium.
Taking this into account, purchasing a fighter for 1000 Gleamium would cost you R$ 39.90. Or, according to @WDBTHtGPAs a single player, you must play more than 38 hours to unlock a character that costs 1000 Gleamium, and around 77 hours for a premium character.
Of course, completing the quests, rifts and events, as well as completing the Battle Pass - which also earns you good Gleamiums - will speed up the process, but it's understandable that it's a very boring and unbalanced grind, after all, you'll be limited to a few characters at first.
But in return, the game rotates two fighters so that you can try them out and play with them for a limited time.
The types of coins in the game
Something we should point out is that Gleamium is not the only currency present in the game, making things a little easier.
There are also prestige coins, perks, fighters and, of course, Gleamium. See what the differences are:
- Advantages: Unlocks in-game benefits. Can be obtained through events, battle passes, account and character mastery, and gameplay in Rift Mode;
- Fighters: Unlocks characters. Can be obtained through events, battle passes, account and character mastery, and gameplay in Rift Mode;
- Prestige: Unlocks unique cosmetics. Can be obtained by purchasing common cosmetics;
- Gleamium: Unlocks cosmetics, emotes, Battle Pass and more. Can be obtained through Events, Battle Pass or direct purchase (R$).
The MultiVersus battle pass
While a character costs 1000 Gleamium (R$ 39,90)The Battle Pass costs the same, and gives the player at least three fighters, as well as a few gleamiums to pay for the pass.
So, at worst, your investment doesn't have to be as high as it might seem when it comes to acquiring new fighters. But as the seasons progress, we won't see standard game characters like Joker falling into the Battle Pass.
Still, there are good characters, visuals, profile icons and more that are "given" to the player when they complete the full pass, such as a surprise item in the last tier.
Now, finalizing the financial aspect of MultiVersusIn fact, it shouldn't be considered a Pay to Win game. Each character has their own skills and particularities. Not everyone will get along with a particular fighter.
Perhaps your opponent will do well with Joker, who costs 6,000 Gleamium, and you could end up doing well with a starter character, or one you've earned in the pass by purchasing for 1,000 Gleamium.
The overall MultiVersus is impeccable
Visuals and Audio
In terms of visuals, just like most of the games in the Warner, MultiVersus is a blast. All the characters are beautifully animated with impeccable cartoon art.
As well as subtitles in Brazilian Portuguese, you'll find the game fully dubbed with many voices known for playing their respective characters.
There's nothing to disagree with here. It's a visually pleasing game, even in the midst of so many visual effects, and extremely enjoyable to listen to, from the voices to the soundtrack.
Accessibility
Taking into account the e-Sports factor, MultiVersus kicks ass when it comes to accessibility. You'll find countless options from interface colors, UI position, subtitles, subtitle size, removing languages that aren't suitable for children, vibration and more.

Is MultiVersus worth playing?
MultiVersus has given rise to talk about its "one-year postponement" and, above all, the prices of the fighters, but it is undeniable that the game is extremely fun, has a lot of content and is certainly being financially positive for the company. WarnerThe studio was recently acquired.
The constancy of content, events and passes, the fact that it's free, excellent visuals, soundtrack and impeccable audio together with the fun gameplay makes MultiVersus into the hall of free games, alongside giants such as Fortnite, Rocket League, Fall Guys, Counter Strike, League of Legends and others.
MultiVersus is now available for PC, PS5, Xbox One e Xbox Series.
