About the Game

The mutants from the Brotherhood and the X-Men try to forget their differences since a common enemy has appeared - the dreaded Apocalypse.

At first, the heroes must rescue Professor X, who has fallen into the clutches of the enemy.

Most of the time, however, is spent in combat, collecting loot and acquiring experience points. The character will level up, become stronger, and learn new skills. players can opt to allocate all the experience and skill points manually.
