X-Men: Destiny

In a world where Magneto's whereabouts are unknown and Professor Xavier has been killed, a war looms between mutants and regular humans, made all the worse by a group of extremist humans known as Purifiers. In place of Professor X, Cyclops and Emma Frost have taken charge of what remains of the X-Men, and Mystique heads the remaining members of the Brotherhood of Mutants while she waits for Magneto to return. Into this mix, the player ventures through the game earning allegiances with either the X-Men or the Brotherhood, and attempting to discover who set the spark of the new looming war.

Players will meet and fight alongside a large number of characters, as well as being able to obtain powers and costumes from them. The character they play as can also be upgraded with various extra powers from other popular characters.

The gameplay largely revolves around a fairly standard modern beat-em-up formula with weak and strong attacks, and simple combos. Players will earn new mutant powers through completing objectives and side-quests, and upgrades may be purchased for their chosen power using experience earned through battles.

Collectible profiles can be found hidden around the game's environment, providing details on the mutants that appear in the game. The player's character can also change appearance with new costumes.
