Co-op
Description
A team of fifteen X-Men including Cyclops, Storm, and Wolverine battles Project Wideawake and the Sentinels in an isometric action RPG in the Diablo vein. Published by Activision, released in 2004 in the United States and Europe. Features up to 4 players in local or online co-op, mutant RPG progression, devastating combined powers, official voice cast, and a faithful adaptation of the X-Men universe.
A Marvel action RPG from Raven, X-Men Legends gathers a vast team of mutants in a four-player cooperative hack and slash, the first big success of the team superhero genre. Become fairly rare on Xbox, its interest lies in this founding role of a well-liked line rather than wide distribution. A piece valued by fans of superhero co-op.
Better with friends
An action-RPG where four players embody a team of superheroes and carve through enemy waves together, each with their spectacular powers. Mutual aid is queen: combining abilities, reviving each other and coordinating assaults multiplies the group's strength. Shared progression and drop-in joining make it a convivial co-op you gladly restart as a family, mission after mission.
Is X-Men Legends still worth playing in 2026?
Released in 2004, Raven Software's project delivers a team adventure built around a generous Marvel mutant cast. The four player local coop, the richness of team combinations and the individual progression of every character install a friendly hack and slash sandbox. The handling stays readable and the reading of powers clean. Repetition is part of the genre and the modelling has aged. Recommended today for families, for X-Men fans who want a real team adventure and for lovers of couch coop. Stays a warm memory of Raven's series before Marvel Ultimate Alliance defined the studio.
