X-Men

The game uses a side-scrolling action structure where players advance through stages, fight waves of enemies, and face boss battles. Each playable character has different attack ranges and special moves, encouraging players to adapt to the situation. Movement, jumping, basic attacks, and character skills form the core control scheme. Progress is stage-based, with tougher enemy formations and bosses appearing as the game advances.

Wolverine

A close-range fighter with strong melee pressure.

Cyclops

Uses optical blasts for ranged offense and crowd control.

Storm

Has wide-area attacks that help against groups of enemies.

Magneto

One of the main villains, appearing as a major boss.

Sentinel

A signature mechanical enemy encountered as a powerful threat.

Learn each character's range and attack rhythm before diving into enemy groups. Use ranged characters to handle flyers and projectile enemies, while melee characters are better for isolated targets and bosses. In boss fights, watch for telegraphed attacks and avoid overcommitting to combos. Save health and special abilities for the most dangerous phases.

Tips and tricks

• Clear projectile enemies first in tight spaces.
• Choose characters based on whether the stage favors range or close combat.
• Do not overextend in boss fights; retreat after short attack strings.
