X-Men: Children of the Atom is a classic 2D fighting game developed by Capcom, bringing Marvel’s iconic mutants to the PlayStation. Step into the arena to battle it out with heroes like Wolverine and Cyclops, or villains like Magneto and Juggernaut, in fast-paced arcade combat featuring huge sprites and explosive special moves.
How to Play
Your objective is to defeat your opponent in best-of-three, one-on-one fights to save the Earth from Magneto’s plans. Use the D-pad (Arrow Keys) to move, jump, and crouch. The face buttons control your light, medium, and heavy punches and kicks. Mix standard attacks with special motions to execute character-specific special moves.
Tips
- Super Jumps: Tap down then immediately up to perform a super jump, which is essential for dodging attacks and launching aerial combos.
- Hyper X Combos: Build your X-Power gauge at the bottom of the screen by landing attacks or taking damage, then unleash your character’s devastating Hyper X super move when it’s full.
- Tech Hits: You can break out of throws by inputting a throw command at the exact moment your opponent tries to grab you, known as a Tech Hit.
