Reception Seanbaby listed X-Men as number 3 on his worst NES games of all time, criticizing the inaccurate depiction of the characters, the characters themselves, and the poor partner AI. Skyler Miller at Allgame gave the game one star out of five, calling it a "strange, laughably bad mess of a game" and even went as far as calling it "one of the worst games ever produced". James Rolfe aka The Angry Video Game Nerd reviewed the Game in Season 4 of his YouTube Show. During the review he criticized the level designs, the character sprites, the controls, and the very poor Character AI. His final thoughts was that the game was a complete disgrace.
