X-Men: Project X

X-Men: Project X follows Cyclops as he battles Magneto’s Sentinels and the Juggernaut in a mechanical fortress dominating the city skyline. Magneto’s new “Project X” threatens humanity and mutants alike, and Cyclops must destroy it. Wolverine appears as an ally, providing backup during the Juggernaut confrontation.

The player controls Cyclops, fighting through an industrial city made up of stacked walkways and platforms. Jumping allows Cyclops to aim horizontally while mid-air, enabling shots against enemies approaching from above or diagonal paths.

Enemies move along fixed lanes — ground level, mid-level, and aerial — and attack in patterns that require precise timing. Shooting direction is determined by Cyclops’s position and movement: stationary shots fire straight ahead, jumping shots hit aerial lanes, and crouching or mid-level shots handle lower opponents.

Each stage culminates in a boss encounter, with Wolverine briefly joining as a support fighter during the Juggernaut battle. The top display tracks score and stage, while a segmented energy bar at the bottom represents health.
