The game uses a side-scrolling view as Spider-Man advances through city streets, buildings, and enemy bases. He can attack with web shots and melee combos, cling to walls, and swing across gaps to reach higher routes. Stages mix standard enemies, environmental hazards, and boss encounters. Progression is linear, with each cleared stage leading to the next and mobility being as important as combat.

Spider-Man

The playable protagonist, using webs, acrobatics, and wall-crawling to fight and move.

Carnage

One of the main antagonists and a major boss in the story.

Venom

An important symbiote-linked enemy tied to the game's conflict.

Keep moving to avoid being surrounded, and use wall-crawling and swinging to control space. Prioritize ranged or airborne enemies first so they do not interrupt your approach. Learn boss attack tells and strike during recovery windows. Web attacks are useful for opening fights, but save resources when enemy groups are dense.

Tips and tricks

Learn each stage's walls and swing points; many dangerous gaps can be avoided with better routing.

Tips and tricks

Against groups, back off and pick enemies off one by one instead of trading hits up close.
