Summary
Ubisoft has just releasedInvincible: Guarding the Globe, a free-to-play mobile game for Android and IOS devices. Set in the world of Robert Kirkman’sInvinciblecomic series, the idle squad RPG is available to download now.
Based on the comics by the creator ofThe Walking Dead, the genre-defying superhero seriesInvincibleshot into the spotlight when the animated series premiered on Amazon Prime in 2021. Ubisoft’s new title is notInvincible’sfirst foray into video games; fans of the series have recently enjoyedOmni-Man’s crossover appearance inMortal Kombat 1’s first DLC, where the ultra-powerful Viltrumite comes with original voice acting from J.K. Simmons. Skybound Games’ recentInvincible Presents: Atom Evealso treated gamers to a stunning visual novel adventure about the beloved character. However,Invincible: Guarding the Globeis the first game to let fans unleash the full roster of Kirkman’s heroes.
The new game sees players join the Global Defence Agency (GDA) to muster a super-team comprising Invincible, Atom Eve, Dupli-Kate, and otherfamiliar members of the Guardians of the Globe, each with their own powers and stats. Gamers must carefully choose their squad and strategy, upgrading and customizing their equipment to ensure victory in fast-paced battles.

The free-to-play idle squad RPG allows players to take either an active role in battles, by using their heroes' special moves and powers, or to sit back and watch their super-team annihilate hordes of helpless Flaxans, Magmanites, andInvincible’s other fearsome enemies from across the galaxy. Players can even fight multiple battles at once using a unique multi-battle system, letting them accumulate more rewards simultaneously. The game has plenty of options to please micromanagers and more relaxed players alike.
Alongside the mobile game’s launch, Ubisoft teased thatInvincible: Guarding the Globefeatures a new campaign with an original story. Instead of following the events of the comics or animated series, the game instead sees the Guardians face off against nefarious new criminal masterminds armed with sinister cloning technology. This new cloning tech will likely allow for an in-universe explanation of the new multi-battle system, but may also result in the Guardians facing one of their most deadly threats to date: themselves.
