Play X-Men: Reign of Apocalypse Online

Summary

X‑Man fans get a portable punch with X‑Men: Reign of Apocalypse, the Game Boy Advance’s first foray into mutant mayhem. You pick Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm or Rogue and dash through twelve side‑scrolling stages, each packed with waves of enemies and a mutant boss that guards the next warp gate. The game rewards every brawl with experience points you can spend after a level to boost damage, agility or your signature mutant power, letting you fine‑tune each hero’s claws, optic blasts, tornadoes or charge.

Co‑op isn’t just a gimmick – two players can team up in campaign mode or clash head‑to‑head in versus, swapping between deathmatch, capture‑the‑flag and horde‑survival challenges. The shared move set keeps the action tight, while each character’s special ability adds a splash of personality.

Critics were split: Metacritic landed it at 61/100 and GameRankings at 59.34%, with GameSpot urging beat‑’em‑up lovers to give it a try despite its simple ending, and Nintendojo calling it a fun ride that ends far too quickly.

Storyline

Returning from the Mojoverse, the X‑Men find the shattered X‑Mansion in an alternate universe ruled by the tyrant mutant Apocalypse. The familiar settings—X‑Mansion, the Blackbird, Genosha—are twisted by Apocalypse’s regime, and the heroes must fight their way through his army of Sentinels and corrupted mutants. Playable characters include Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm and Rogue, each offering a distinct power set and playstyle. Classic comic villains such as the Blob and Magneto serve as boss encounters, while former allies like Colossus and Nightcrawler have been turned against them. In X‑Men: Reign of Apocalypse, the team’s ultimate goal is to defeat Apocalypse’s forces and return to their own universe.
