Play X-Men - Destiny Online

X-Men: Destiny came out on the Nintendo DS in 2011, published by Activision. It was a side-scrolling action game that felt right at home on the handheld, a straightforward beat-'em-up during a time when the DS library was full of experimental and licensed titles. You don't play as an established X-Men character; instead, you create a new mutant and get thrown right into the middle of the conflict between Professor X and Magneto.

You control your custom character through linear levels, using a basic attack combo and a unique mutant power, like Adrian's density punches or Grant's energy projectiles. The main objective is to fight through waves of Purifiers and other enemies, with the story branching based on key decisions you make that align you with the X-Men or the Brotherhood. The combat is simple but responsive, and the difficulty is manageable, though it can get a bit repetitive. It feels like a solid, no-frills portable brawler where your choices actually influence which allies fight beside you in the finale.
