The game introduced multi-tiered fighting environments in which when either characters fell into the ground multiple times, the ground would crumble and characters would fall into lower parts of the level. These concepts and the fast pace of the game would provide the basis for Capcom's ''[[Marvel vs. Capcom]]'' series, which started with the game's successor ''[[X-Men vs. Street Fighter]]''.

The game is a fighting game that follows the same fighting game controls and conventions Capcom previously established with the ''Street Fighter II'' games and the original ''Darkstalkers''. Players control one of the X-Men or one of their enemies in a one-on-one fight. Matches are played to the best of three rounds. If a battle goes more than three rounds without a victor (because of draws and/or double ko's), the next round is a "Sudden Death" round where characters are knocked out in a single hit. The game saves records such as high scores and wins/losses to the console's internal memory.
 +
 
 +
''Children of the Atom'' adds a combo system that features long combos that can even be performed in midair. Also featured in the game are various tactical maneuvers, including the ability for characters to roll.
  
−
*'''Arcade Mode:''' A single-player mode where the player faces six of the other characters in the game in best of three one-on-one matches before battling Juggernaut and Magneto. A second player can challenge the first by pressing {{Start}}, with the victor of the match continuing the game.
+
After selecting a character, the player can choose between Manual or Automatic blocking. However, using Automatic blocking limits special moves that have multiple attack directions to only one direction and causes all attacks, even normal moves, to inflict a small amount of damage when blocked. Automatic blocking also only lasts for one battle against a single opponent or against the CPU. Once the player wins a match, the game will switch to Manual blocking.
−
*'''Versus Mode:''' A two-player mode where players can choose their characters and battle each other in best of three one-on-one matches, with the ability to set a handicap for each player and choose any stage.
+
 
−
*'''Survival Mode:''' A single-player mode where the player fights as many opponents as possible on a single vitality bar. Some vitality is restored between battles.
+
Characters can move with {{left}} and {{right}}; neutral jump with {{up}}, and jump behind and ahead with {{upleft}} and {{upright}}. They crouch with {{down}}. Punches are done with {{X}} (light), {{Y}} (medium), and {{Z}} (strong) and kicks are done with {{A}} (light), {{B}} (medium), and {{C}} (strong). Light attacks are faster and hard attacks deal more damage. Special moves for each character are done by pairing specific directional combinations with an attack button. Guarding is done by holding the D-Pad away from the opponent.
−
*'''Group Battle Mode:''' A two-player mode where players choose one to five players each and compete in a set of one-round matches. Each player tries to eliminate all of their opponent's fighters. Characters do not recover vitality between battles.
+
 
 +
{{L}} and {{R}} are "Special Buttons", which can be configured to in the Options menu to perform Special Actions; by default these two buttons are set to "NONE".
  
−
If a battle goes more than three rounds without a victor (because of draws or double knock-outs), the next round is a "Sudden Death" round where characters are knocked out in a single hit.
+
===Dash===
 +
Quickly tapping {{right}}{{right}} or pressing all three {{punch}} buttons (or alternatively pressing any two {{punch}} buttons) makes the characters dash forwards. Forward dashing adds momentum, which can add extra stun power, change juggle arcs, and make forward jumps go farther. And by quickly tapping {{left}}{{left}} or {{left}} together with all three {{punch}} buttons (alternatively press {{left}} plus any two {{punch}} buttons) makes the characters dash backwards. Each character has their own particular type of forward dash and backward dash.
  
−

+
===Super Jump===
 +
Super Jump is a special type of jump that can go many times higher than a normal jump. A Super jump is performed by pressing {{down}} then {{up}} in quick succession, or by pressing all three {{kick}} buttons together; characters can be steered during a Super Jump by pressing {{left}} or {{right}} on the D-Pad.

+
===Throws and Holds===
 +
Throws and grabs are done by holding {{left}} or {{right}} when near the opponent and pressing a or kick button. Characters can perform a reversal when being thrown with the same command. When the X-Power gauge reaches at least level 2, characters can land safely with by holding {{down}} with all three punch buttons. Or characters can roll away or toward an opponent after being thrown by pressing {{left}} or {{right}} and then a punch button repeatedly. Breaking one's fall from a throw or performing a counter-throw consumes a portion of the X-Power gauge when performed.
  
−
Characters move with {{left}} and {{right}} and dash with {{left}} {{left}} and {{right}} {{right}} (or {{X}}+{{Y}}+{{Z}}). They jump upward with {{up}} and jump behind and ahead with {{upleft}} and {{upright}}. Characters can Super Jump high into the air with {{down}} {{up}} (or {{A}}+{{B}}+{{C}}). They crouch with {{down}}. Punches are done with {{X}} (light), {{Y}} (medium), and {{Z}} (strong) and kicks are done with {{A}} (light), {{B}} (medium), and {{C}} (strong). Light attacks are faster and hard attacks deal more damage. Special moves for each character are done by pairing specific directional combinations with an attack button.
+
===X-Power Gauge===
 +
The player has an X-Power Gauge (similar to the Super Combo gauge in ''Super Street Fighter II Turbo'' and the Special gauge in ''Darkstalkers'') that builds as the player hits the opponent with normal attacks or by performing special moves. X-Power gauge starts at Level 1 (blue) and reaches Level 2 (orange) when it becomes half-full; at each point, an aura effect begins to surround the player's character until the gauge reaches "Level Max", where the gauge is full and begins to flicker. The X-Power gauge levels are retained between rounds but reset after battles.

The player has an X-Power gauge (similar to the Super Combo gauge in ''Super Street Fighter II Turbo'' and the Special gauge in ''Darkstalkers'') that builds as the player performs regular or special moves. X-Power gauge starts at level 1 (blue) and reaches level 2 (range) when it becomes half-full; at this point, an Aura begins to surround the player's character until the gauge becomes full and reaches "Level Max." When the X-Power gauge is blue, only normal and special moves are allowed. When the X-Power gauge is orange, characters can perform an X-Ability, a special ability that consumes a portion of the X-Power gauge. When the gauge is full and begins to flicker colors, characters can perform a Hyper-X ability, which inflicts a great deal of damage but consumes a large portion of the gauge. The X-Power gauge levels are retained between rounds but reset after battles.
+
====X-Power====
 +
Also known as '''X-Ability''', X-Power is a set of abilities that can activate a character's mutant power in exchange of using a portion of the X-Power Gauge. These powers allow the character to use certain special abilities, such as flying, stat boosts to a character's speed/attack power, and so on. Meter requirements for perform a X-Power vary from character to character, with some characters requiring that the X-Power Gauge is filled close to reaching or at Level 2.

Or characters can roll away or toward an opponent after being thrown by pressing {{left}} or {{right}} and then a punch button repeatedly. Breaking one's fall from a throw or performing a counter-throw consumes a portion of the X-Power gauge when performed. Guarding is done by holding the D-Pad away from the opponent.
+
====Hyper-X====
 +
Hyper-X are Hyper Combos that can be performed when the gauge is at Level Max. Hyper-X inflicts a great deal of damage and generally consumes all of the gauge. All characters have access to at least 1 Hyper-X.
  
−
After selecting a character, the player can choose between Manual or Automatic blocking. However, using automatic blocking limits special moves to their medium versions.
+

According to Tatsuya Minami, Capcom's senior manager of the Product Planning and Design Section, the biggest difficulty with converting the game to the Saturn was the memory restrictions. The Saturn (as well as the [[PlayStation]]) has only 2 megabytes of RAM, while the arcade version of ''X-Men: Children of the Atom'' used 32 megabytes for character data alone. Because of this, a third of the animation frames had to be cut for the Saturn version.

X-Men: Children of the Atom (エックス・メン チルドレン オブ ジ アトム) also called as just X-Men (エックスメン), is an arcade fighting game developed by Capcom. Originally released for the Capcom CP System II arcade board in 1994, it was ported to the Sega Saturn in 1995.

Based on the X-Men comic book, it is the first fighting game produced by Capcom using characters under license from Marvel Comics. It is unrelated to the later comic book series of the same name. The game was widely praised for its gameplay and colorful graphics and for the quality of the port.

The game introduced multi-tiered fighting environments in which when either characters fell into the ground multiple times, the ground would crumble and characters would fall into lower parts of the level. These concepts and the fast pace of the game would provide the basis for Capcom's Marvel vs. Capcom series, which started with the game's successor X-Men vs. Street Fighter.

Story

Introduction

The game is loosely based on the "Fatal Attractions" storyline. Magneto plans to unleash an electromagnetic pulse on Earth that will disrupt the magnetic fields and create havoc on the world's electrical systems, ushering in a Dark Age for Earth's non-mutant population. With the promise of a mutant-run planet, the X-Men's most formidable foes join forces with Magneto.

Released around the time of the mid-1990s X-Men animated series, the game features voice actors from the series reprising their roles.

Gameplay

The game is a fighting game that follows the same fighting game controls and conventions Capcom previously established with the Street Fighter II games and the original Darkstalkers. Players control one of the X-Men or one of their enemies in a one-on-one fight. Matches are played to the best of three rounds. If a battle goes more than three rounds without a victor (because of draws and/or double ko's), the next round is a "Sudden Death" round where characters are knocked out in a single hit. The game saves records such as high scores and wins/losses to the console's internal memory.

Children of the Atom adds a combo system that features long combos that can even be performed in midair. Also featured in the game are various tactical maneuvers, including the ability for characters to roll.

After selecting a character, the player can choose between Manual or Automatic blocking. However, using Automatic blocking limits special moves that have multiple attack directions to only one direction and causes all attacks, even normal moves, to inflict a small amount of damage when blocked. Automatic blocking also only lasts for one battle against a single opponent or against the CPU. Once the player wins a match, the game will switch to Manual blocking.

Characters can move with Left and Right; neutral jump with Up, and jump behind and ahead with Up-left and Up-right. They crouch with Down. Punches are done with X (light), Y (medium), and Z (strong) and kicks are done with A (light), B (medium), and C (strong). Light attacks are faster and hard attacks deal more damage. Special moves for each character are done by pairing specific directional combinations with an attack button. Guarding is done by holding the D-Pad away from the opponent.

L and R are "Special Buttons", which can be configured to in the Options menu to perform Special Actions; by default these two buttons are set to "NONE".

Dash

Quickly tapping RightRight or pressing all three P buttons (or alternatively pressing any two P buttons) makes the characters dash forwards. Forward dashing adds momentum, which can add extra stun power, change juggle arcs, and make forward jumps go farther. And by quickly tapping LeftLeft or Left together with all three P buttons (alternatively press Left plus any two P buttons) makes the characters dash backwards. Each character has their own particular type of forward dash and backward dash.

Super Jump

Super Jump is a special type of jump that can go many times higher than a normal jump. A Super jump is performed by pressing Down then Up in quick succession, or by pressing all three K buttons together; characters can be steered during a Super Jump by pressing Left or Right on the D-Pad.

Throws and Holds

Throws and grabs are done by holding Left or Right when near the opponent and pressing a or kick button. Characters can perform a reversal when being thrown with the same command. When the X-Power gauge reaches at least level 2, characters can land safely with by holding Down with all three punch buttons. Or characters can roll away or toward an opponent after being thrown by pressing Left or Right and then a punch button repeatedly. Breaking one's fall from a throw or performing a counter-throw consumes a portion of the X-Power gauge when performed.

X-Power Gauge

The player has an X-Power Gauge (similar to the Super Combo gauge in Super Street Fighter II Turbo and the Special gauge in Darkstalkers) that builds as the player hits the opponent with normal attacks or by performing special moves. X-Power gauge starts at Level 1 (blue) and reaches Level 2 (orange) when it becomes half-full; at each point, an aura effect begins to surround the player's character until the gauge reaches "Level Max", where the gauge is full and begins to flicker. The X-Power gauge levels are retained between rounds but reset after battles.

X-Power

Also known as X-Ability, X-Power is a set of abilities that can activate a character's mutant power in exchange of using a portion of the X-Power Gauge. These powers allow the character to use certain special abilities, such as flying, stat boosts to a character's speed/attack power, and so on. Meter requirements for perform a X-Power vary from character to character, with some characters requiring that the X-Power Gauge is filled close to reaching or at Level 2.

Hyper-X

Hyper-X are Hyper Combos that can be performed when the gauge is at Level Max. Hyper-X inflicts a great deal of damage and generally consumes all of the gauge. All characters have access to at least 1 Hyper-X.

Modes

The game has multiple modes:

History

Development

Capcom's contract with Marvel stipulated that Capcom include a character from the Street Fighter franchise in the game. As the development team wanted to focus on the X-Men proper, they included Akuma as a secret character rather than using Ryu or Ken.[9]

According to Tatsuya Minami, Capcom's senior manager of the Product Planning and Design Section, the biggest difficulty with converting the game to the Saturn was the memory restrictions. The Saturn (as well as the PlayStation) has only 2 megabytes of RAM, while the arcade version of X-Men: Children of the Atom used 32 megabytes for character data alone. Because of this, a third of the animation frames had to be cut for the Saturn version.[10]

The home version of the game was originally a Saturn exclusive. While the Saturn version was ported by Rutubo Games, the PlayStation and IBM PC versions were contracted out to Probe Entertainment.

Legacy

The game was the first in a series of fighting games by Capcom featuring characters from Marvel Comics. Characters from X-Men: Children of the Atom would reappear in several subsequent Capcom fighters, including Marvel Super Heroes, X-Men vs. Street Fighter, Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes, and Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes.

Versions

Following its 1994 arcade release, X-Men: Children of the Atom came to the Saturn and remained the only home version of the game for two years. While most of the game remains in-tact, the Saturn is forced to drop many frames of animation (something partially rectified in later games with the introduction of the Extended RAM Cartridge). Differing screen resolutions also mean the character portraits are placed below rather than beside the HUD in-game.

X-Men: Children of the Atom would come to the PlayStation in 1998 (after Marvel Super Heroes) and see more drastic cutbacks, swapping out its intro for a pre-rendered video and having both longer load times than the Saturn version and a lower average frame rate. It is also missing background animations present on the Saturn.

The Japanese release of the Saturn version allows players to play as the Juggernaut in the two-player Versus Mode via a cheat code. Capcom said that this was left in by mistake, hence why the ability to play as Juggernaut was not included in the North American or European releases or in the later PlayStation version. The PC version allows players to play as either the Juggernaut or Magneto.
