There's never enough ammo, and even the best weapons are pretty weal in the inevitable pile-ups. Iceman and Psylocke can both freeze you in place. Worse, several have lockdown powers, and worse. Usually you get groups of the gang around, who just attack en masse and absolutely relentlessly.
Though she does have permadeath, so that's okay. Sadly, Rogue doesn't keep accidentally draining NotCable's uselessness with her powers, or randomly generating new levels on the fly. Others though are pretty weak, notably Cyclops, who gets to fire the most pathetic little energy bolt. Storm is the Scrag, floating above the battlefield and shooting down Shambler lightning. Wolverine for instance is the Fiend, leaping across the map and rending with his claws. The X-Men - technically, the X-Clones - are all ramped up versions of standard Quake monsters, which works variably well. Unfortunately, that's where the good stuff stops.įor starters, the difficulty is beyond brutal, even on the easiest difficulty level. To give it credit, for the time, it does a fantastic job at visually recreating the X-Men themselves on an incredibly limited palette and with a polygon count that struggles with a triangle. Or, for that matter, why the most powerful mutant around decides that a good response to this situation is to go "Huh," and casually pass the buck to some jerk.įor the most part, if you've played Quake, you've played this - only with more action and nowhere near the design chops, not least because it was churned out in just three months. In practice, it's not clear whether Magneto really could and actually did do this, or simply stole the tape and put it on his VCR like any other supervillain might. The fact that they're recording it onto metallic oxide tape however turns out to be a bit of an oopsie, since it means Magneto, Master of Magnetism can read it at will. Why he and his Unknown Ally Who Is Mister Sinister are bothering to record this in the first place, given that the only two people on Earth who need to know about it are standing in the room, isn't a question deemed worth an explanation. Unfortunately for Apocalypse, he makes one crucial mistake while cloning a subservient Wolverine, presumably using the same technology that allowed him to be on seventy different superteams back in the 90s - recording his experiments on a video camera.
