opens with the kind of bombastic orchestral energy you'd expect from a Marvel property, but the score quickly reveals more range than that -- A.I.M. Infiltration and Hidden Agenda bring in stealth-inflected tension, while The Wrath of Jotunheim goes full frost-giant epic with booming percussion and icy textures.
The tracklist reads like a tour through Marvel's greatest locations and storylines. Battleworld and Timeline Battle deliver the competitive PvP intensity the game's endgame modes demand, while Journey for Mystic Arts and Dark Dimension channel Doctor Strange's corner of the universe with suitably otherworldly soundscapes.

F.S.S. gives the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier segments a sense of high-altitude grandeur. Mansion Under Attack and Triskellion Under Attack both nail that frantic, defensive urgency that makes you feel like you're genuinely holding the line against overwhelming odds.
For a free-to-play mobile game, this is a surprisingly well-crafted and varied score.
