Spider-Man and the X-Men in Arcade's Revenge vs X-Men: Reign of Apocalypse

Spider-Man and the X-Men team up in this side‑scrolling action platformer, battling through Arcade's twisted amusement park. Players start as Spider-Man, rescue kidnapped X‑Men, then choose from five heroes—Spider‑Man, Cyclops, Storm, Gambit, or Wolverine—each with unique abilities to navigate deadly traps. Navigate maze‑like levels, defeat themed bosses, and use each hero's special powers to overcome obstacles. The game offers distinct character routes, encouraging replayability as you master each hero's skill set and uncover all of Arcade's devious designs.

You and your fellow X‑Men are trapped in a mirror universe ruled by Apocalypse. Navigate side‑scrolling levels, defeat his minions, and find the Warp Gate to return home. Choose from Wolverine, Cyclops, Storm, or Rogue, each with signature powers and upgradeable abilities. In addition to a story campaign, the game offers versus modes for deathmatch, co‑op horde battles, and capture‑the‑flag, letting you compete or cooperate with friends while unlocking new X‑Men allies.
