The game uses a side-scrolling perspective and supports up to four players at once. Each character has standard attacks, jump attacks, throws, and special moves, with some relying more on melee strength or ranged options. Progress is structured across six stages filled with enemy waves, scrolling set pieces, and boss encounters. Players must manage health, crowd control, and spacing while advancing through varied action scenes and occasional dramatic transitions.
Spider-Man
A balanced playable hero who uses agility, close combat, and web-based attacks.
Black Cat
A fast playable character with strong mobility and effective melee combos.
Hawkeye
A playable ranged fighter who can pressure enemies from a safer distance.
Namor
A powerful playable character suited to controlling crowds with strength.
Doctor Doom
The main villain behind the crisis and one of the game's major bosses.
Venom
A classic Spider-Man enemy known for aggressive attacks in his boss encounter.
Kingpin
A major villain who threatens players with heavy durability and close-range power.
In co-op, spread players across the screen instead of clustering together, or enemy groups can trap everyone at once. Use wider attacks to clear crowds before focusing on single targets. During boss fights, watch for startup animations and dodge with jumps or lateral movement instead of forcing long combos. Low-health players should play more cautiously and let sturdier or ranged characters control space. For solo play, Spider-Man is a safe all-round choice thanks to his balanced offense and mobility.
