Play Superman - Countdown to Apokolips (E)(Patience) Online
You zip through Metropolis, tossing Parademons into traffic and frying robots with heat vision—somehow it all fits on that tiny GBA screen. Double-tap to take off, and suddenly you're threading between skyscrapers before slamming back down to street level.
Superman: Countdown to Apokolips came out on the Game Boy Advance in 2003, published by Infogrames. It was part of that wave of licensed games trying to capture a character's power on a handheld, and it stood out for its attempt to translate flight and super strength into a side-scrolling action format.
You control Superman, flying through levels to stop Darkseid's invasion of Earth. The game uses a screen-by-screen exploration structure, clearing areas of enemies like Parademons and robotic drones before moving on. Signature mechanics include heat vision attacks for ranged combat and a double-tap control to initiate flight, letting you quickly ascend or traverse gaps. The pacing is methodical, with some backtracking, and the difficulty can spike during enemy encounters. It feels satisfying to finally master the flight controls and plow through a crowd of foes.
