The game is built around side-scrolling action-platforming with a few sections that change pace and perspective. Players alternate between Spider-Man and four X-Men characters, each with unique movement and attack options: Spider-Man uses web-based traversal and wall-climbing, Wolverine excels in close combat, Cyclops attacks from range, Storm has strong aerial mobility, and Gambit relies on card attacks and agile jumping. Progress depends on learning stage layouts, avoiding traps, defeating waves of enemies, and managing limited health through trial and error.

Characters
Spider-Man
One of the playable heroes, combining web attacks with wall-climbing for tricky terrain.
Wolverine
A melee-focused fighter with strong close-range combat and fast movement.

Storm
Offers aerial mobility and weather-based attacks, helping with vertical sections.
Gambit

Strategy
Learn each character’s movement and attack rhythm before pushing through difficult sections. Whenever possible, clear enemies from a distance and study trap patterns before committing to jumps. Spider-Man and Storm are often safer in complex terrain, while Wolverine is best used when enemies cluster at close range. Health is precious, so a careful pace usually works better than rushing.
