X-Men

About

X-Men is a 2D fighting game from Semi Logic Entertainments that came out when HyperScan launched in 2006. You pick from a lineup of Marvel characters and use their powers in head to head battles. The game has single player and multiplayer options with simple controls that are easy to get into. Battles are fast and focus on basic attacks and special moves tied to each character’s abilities. The game stands out as one of the first titles for HyperScan, which didn’t last long. It includes popular X-Men characters but doesn’t bring new ideas to the fighter genre. Players who remember HyperScan might appreciate it as a relic of early 2000s tech. It’s a straightforward brawler that works better as a quick play session than a long term project.
