About

X-Men enter the realm of role-playing games with an intense story, superhero action, and multiplayer modes. The story in X-Men Legends begins when the X-Men learn that Magneto has devised a plan to give mutants the power to reign supreme over humans. To save the human race from imprisonment, you compose a four-person team from a roster of X-Men characters, including Storm, Gambit, and Wolverine.

What players say

A breezy, addictive co-op action-RPG that lets up to four friends drop in and out while smashing through waves as a big roster of X-Men. Praised as genre-defining fun and something of a hidden gem, even if its RPG depth is light.
