Short description
In X-Men Destiny, players control the fate of one of three brand-new mutant characters that have only just begun to realise the power that they posess. The branching storyline, penned by acclaimed Marvel writer Mike Carey, features a deep element of choice, allowing players to customise the path, powers and development of their character and to decide their role in the mutant cause alongside, or against, some of Marvel’s greatest X-Men franchise characters, such as Magneto, Cyclops, Wolverine and Gambit.
Long description
Gamers play and develop their own comic-book mutant heroes and villains in X-Men: Destiny. Set in the Marvel universe and featuring familiar friends and foes from Professor Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, the game focuses on three original characters -- teenagers whose mutant superpowers are just beginning to manifest. Each playable character has a basic mutant special ability, which players gradually custom-enhance as they earn upgrades throughout the adventure. Although the looks and personalities of the super-powered teens are predetermined in the backstory, their destinies are to be decided by the player - one choice at a time. Players lead their characters through a branching plotline, which ultimately has the young mutant choosing between the X-Men and Magneto's Brotherhood. Set in a future San Francisco, torn apart by a war between mutants and regular humans, the game's story features Cyclops, Wolverine, and several other well-known mutants and monsters from X-Men comics and movies. Playable heroes develop relationships with these established characters, depending on the actions they choose.
