* BloodierAndGorier: All the X-Men clones leave behind bloody, ravaged corpses when you kill them, assuming you don't use something like the flamethrower. Though an InvertedTrope by Quake's standards, as enemies can't be gibbed.

* CursedWithAwesome: [[ZigZaggedTrope Zig-Zagged]] depending on individual perspective. The protagonist willingly has Magneto replace his own arms with augmented firearms that he can control with his mind. Magneto himself mocks our hero for this idea, [[BlessedWithSuck believing that it's a ridiculous superpower]].

Being a total conversion rather than a completely new game, it required the full version of ''Quake'' to be played.

''X-Men: The Ravages Of Apocalypse'', developed by Zero Gravity Entertainment and released by [=WizardWorks=] Software, is a commercial total conversion of the ''Quake'' engine. Replacing the old maps and weapons are new designs, and all of the enemies in the game have been replaced with cyborg clones of popular X-Men characters, all with their own special powers—for example Archangel is immune to rockets, Wolverine has his healing factor, etc.

* BottomlessMagazines: This mod adds reload or recovery time to weapons to prevent them from firing constantly. However, there's a rapid-fire powerup that removes this and allows you to fire weapons as if there's a bottomless feed.

Added DiffLines:

* UnwinnableByDesign: The game warns you before leaving the level if you are about to miss one of the weapon components. If you do anyway, you cannot power the superweapon required to defeat Apocalypses' first form, as that is the only weapon that can bypass the target's invulnerability.

Being a total conversion rather than a completely new game, it required the full version of ''Quake'' to be played.

The game was released as freeware in July 2006. The source code of the game was also released, but under an ambiguous license. Modifications have been made to the game to allow it to run as a standalone title.
