X-Men Destiny for Nintendo DS arrived in 2011 as a beat 'em up tied into the larger X-Men universe. Published by Activision, this handheld version offered a portable slice of mutant action during the late life of the DS. The game follows a new mutant character caught in a conflict between mutant rights factions, though specifics of the plot vary by platform. On the DS, it was a 2D side-scrolling brawler rather than the 3D console versions, fitting the hardware's strengths. Players select one of three starting mutants, each with a unique power set, and fight through levels filled with enemy soldiers and rival mutants. The core loop involves punching, kicking, and using mutant abilities to defeat waves of foes while progressing through linear stages. You can upgrade your character's powers between missions using experience points earned from combat. The DS version uses the touch screen sparingly, mostly for menu navigation and some special moves. For fans of licensed brawlers on Nintendo DS, this is a competent entry that delivers exactly what you expect: straightforward beat 'em up action with an X-Men coat of paint. It is not groundbreaking, but it fills a niche for portable mutant mayhem. Compared to other DS action games, it offers a decent variety of combos and powers, though the level design is simple. Worth a look if you enjoy the genre or want to experience an often overlooked chapter in X-Men gaming history.

How to play X-Men - Destiny online

Getting Started

When you start the game, choose one of three available mutants at the character select screen. Each has a different starting power and fighting style. After a brief story introduction, you are dropped into the first level. The main objective is to fight through each stage, defeating enemies that appear in waves. Use basic attacks with the S button and jump with X. The A button (X on keyboard) is used for special moves once you unlock them.

The core gameplay loop is straightforward: move right through the level, fight groups of enemies, and collect health and energy pickups. Your energy meter fills as you land hits, allowing you to unleash a more powerful special attack when full. Between levels, you can spend experience points to upgrade your mutant's abilities in a simple skill tree. Pay attention to enemy attack patterns - blocking and dodging are essential, especially against multiple opponents.

If stuck, revisit earlier levels to grind experience and upgrade your powers. The game is not very long, but mastering the combos and specials makes a big difference. There is no online multiplayer - it is a purely single-player experience. Use the D‑Pad for movement and the shoulder buttons (Q and E) for quick specials or taunts depending on the context.
