Story:X-Men Legends II: Rise of Apocalypse is an action role-playing game and a sequel to X-Men Legends. The player controls a party of four characters, though only one at a time can be controlled directly. Besides switching the characters for combat purposes, the player is often obliged to do so, because some of the tasks in the game require the specific abilities of a certain mutant. For example, Iceman can put out the fire, Magneto can generate a metal bridge across a gap, etc. Most of the time, however, is spent in combat, collecting loot and acquiring experience points. Unlike the first game, items dropped by enemies are random. The character will level up, become stronger, and learn new skills. The player can opt to allocate all the experience and skill points manually.Show more

It was one of my favorite games growing up. I didn't even know much English, but I grew up watching the X-Men cartoons—both the classic '90s series and Wolverine and the X-Men. I loved how it mixed hack-and-slash gameplay with RPG mechanics. It was also the first game I had on the Xbox, which my mother and aunt bought for me. I remember playing co-op with my neighbor friend. I heard there's modding now, and I would love to buy and play this game on GOG.
I would trade all of my other votes to upvote this so much higher on the list. Ive hunted down old hardware and discs to play this over and over again. As a 90s kid the X-Men have always been my favorite corner of the Marvel Universe and this game got so much right. The game can be a bit janky at times for sure but everything else makes up for it. There are so many sweet mods too. I cant tell you how much i want to praise this game and demand another one. I could bore you and easily take up all 2000 characters, upvote this game or i just might!
Licensing hell makes this one almost impossible to bring back but so much great memories with this title. It's one of the greats and had everything a Marvel fan could have asked for in a X-Men game. Great story, great villains, a tremendous roster of playable characters, light RPG mechanics, great voice acting, bunch of extras, tons of costumes for the heroes. It's a shame how lost this game is. Introduced me to Deadpool as he was one of the playable characters and pretty much the sole reason I got into comic books. All around wonderful stuff.
This was the most fun X-men game I've played on the PC.
It came out around the time I was re-reading the Age of Apocalypse comics which covers similar story points. I bought a copy of it a couple of years ago as people said it worked on Windows 10 but I never got it to work. I miss running around as various x-men in isometric view beating up proper villains and bad guys.
This was the game when I first heard about Deadpool. I went through everyone to partner up with Wolverine. Mainly because I like going tanks. When I unlocked Deadpool I tried him and when he did his rally cry: "QUICK! Everybody, shield me with your bodies!" I laughed so hard because it was so unexpected. I wish they'd make another game like this. Even a remake would be good enough for me.
Lost OdysseyLost Odyssey is set in a world in which a "Magic-Industrial Revolution" is taking place. While magic energy existed in all living creatures beforehand, it suddenly became far more powerful thirty years before the beginning of the game. Because of this, it has affected society greatly, with devices called "Magic Engines" harnessing this power for lighting, automobiles, communication, and robots, among other uses. While previously only a select few could wield magic, many magicians gained the ability. However, such progress has also caused two nations to develop new and more powerful weapons of mass destruction. The kingdom of Gohtza and the Republic of Uhra (which recently converted from a monarchy). Uhra is building Grand Staff, a gigantic magic engine, while the heavily industrialized Gohtza actively pursues magic research of their own. A third nation, the Free Ocean State of Numara, remains isolated and neutral, though it is falling into disarray due to a general attempting to stage a coup d'etat. Uhra, at war with Khent, a nation of beastmen, sends its forces to the Highlands of Wohl for a decisive battle at the start of the game.Trending Open world

Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Trending Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
