X-Men: Reign of Apocalypse

released on Sep 25, 2001

You and your fellow X-Men are lost in an alternate reality, only to discover that supervillain Apocalypse reigns supreme. Not only do you find yourself at the mercy of his minions, but also the line between foe and friend is dangerously blurred in this mirror universe. Your only hope is to fight your way through numerous enemies and threats until you reach the Warp Gate and return home. Will you survive long enough to make it there? X-Men: Reign of Apocalypse is the first X-Men game released for the Game Boy Advance platform. It offers side-scrolling gameplay combined with fighting-game action. Best of all, you become your favorite X-Men character--Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, or Rogue--and do battle using the character's signature moves. While in story mode, you'll battle Apocalypse's minions as you try to return to your own dimension. In versus mode, you can compete head-to-head in a deathmatch or join forces to battle enemy hordes, unlock X-Men friends, and capture the flag. Reign of Apocalypse's fighting system lets you score experience points using your brute strength and special mutant powers. At the end of each level, you can use these points to increase your damage potential, agility, or mutant power to unleash the ultimate X-Man!

X-Men: Reign of Apocalypse delivers a classic side-scrolling beat 'em up adventure with a satisfying mutant twist. Playing as Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, or Rogue, you'll unleash signature powers to battle through hordes of enemies in Apocalypse's warped reality. While the gameplay can feel repetitive at times, the comic book-inspired visuals and the satisfying combat make up for it. It's a solid, fast-paced X-Men experience for Game Boy Advance fans.

TINFOIL HAT TIME: if you play as Wolverine this is secretly an Old Man Logan prequel where you go through and kill X-Men because you've been tricked by Mysterio

I was trying to figure out the whole time why I was fighting characters like Cable, Beast, Nightcrawler, Psylocke, Colossus, Angel, and Bishop and this was my favorite headcanon I came up with

Really shitty beat-em up with interesting choices for character design. It's short and you can upgrade different attributes of the 4 characters but isn't that fun.

Randomly remembered this trash beat-'em-up from my childhood. Its Link Cable versus mode let you play as the boss characters, but I couldn't convince anyone else to buy a copy. A formative experience in that regard. They had the Silver Samurai...

Repetitive levels and bosses with too much health - a beat-em-up with no substance.
