Based on the XMen comic book, it is the first fighting game produced by Capcom using characters under license from Marvel Comics. Released around the time of the mid1990s XMen animated series, the game features voice actors from the series reprising their roles. The game's plot is based on the "Fatal Attractions" story from the comics – players control one of the XMen or their enemies in their fight against the villain Magneto. They face each of the other characters in the game in best of three oneonone fighting matches, before battling Juggernaut and Magneto.

The gameplay has much in common with Capcom's previous fighting games, Super Street Fighter II Turbo and Darkstalkers. 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. Children of the Atom introduced multitiered fighting environments in which 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 XMen vs. Street Fighter.
