The game uses a side-view action format with jumping, attacking, and special abilities at the center of play. Cyclops excels at ranged pressure, Wolverine specializes in close-quarters damage, and Gambit offers mobility and thrown attacks. Stages are linear but include platforming sections, switches, enemy waves, and occasional simple puzzle elements. Progress is based on clearing each area and advancing through stage layouts rather than open-ended exploration.
Cyclops
A ranged fighter who uses optic blasts to control enemies from a distance.
Wolverine
A fast close-range attacker built for direct combat and aggressive clearing.
Gambit
A mobile character who relies on thrown attacks and agile movement.
Use the right hero for the right situation: Cyclops for distant targets, Wolverine for tight spaces and heavy enemy pressure, and Gambit for handling mobile threats. Watch for platform edges and switch timing, since some sections punish rushing. Keep moving to avoid being surrounded, and clear ranged enemies first whenever possible.
