X-Men: The Ravages of Apocalypse is a conversion of Quake. The evil mutant Apocalypse has created an army of evil X-men clones. The only thing standing in his way is you, a cyborg created by Magneto with the ability to morph your arms into a variety of devastating weapons. In the single-player game, you battle clones of twelve X-Men across two episodes building up to a final confrontation with Apocalypse. The X-Men are realistically modeled complete with their mutant powers (the Wolverine clone, for example, will not stay down, imitating the original). In multiplayer game, you can take on the role of any of the X-Men for mutant deathmatch action in five original maps including the X-Men mansion.

For the record I did not finish this game. Played about 2 hours and got through a ton of levels.
It's crazy how even though it's Quake and X-Men, 2 amazing things that I both highly enjoy, this feels like a shitty version of both. I played using the source port of Quake I happened to have on my computer, it runs great of course.
But the whole time I was like, why couldn't I be PLAYING as an X-Men and not some random dude shooting them with guns? Or better yet make me play as Cable or any other Mutant who can hold a gun. The guns they gave this dude aren't as fun as the default Quake arsenal, blew my mind how I wish I had different weapons.
The music is cool, had to mod it in since it isn't in the abandonware version. It was like sort-of mindless fun for those 2 hours but I think I played enough. Glad this is available though!

the funniest possible marvel game
Everything about this was so incredibly bizarre. It was an expansion for Quake approved by Marvel during a time where they were desperate for cash, and is about you working for Magneto and murdering evil clones of the X-Men
