The game uses a side-scrolling format where players advance through stages filled with enemy waves and bosses. Characters can attack, jump, throw enemies, and use screen-clearing special moves that usually cost health. Most of the game focuses on hand-to-hand brawling, but some sections shift into flying or shooting sequences. Progress comes from defeating groups of foes, surviving hazards, and clearing boss encounters. Each hero has slightly different range, speed, and feel in combat.
Captain America
A balanced hero who fights primarily with his shield and offers reliable all-around performance.
Iron Man
Uses ranged energy attacks, making him strong at controlling enemies from a distance.
Vision
An Avenger with well-rounded combat ability and solid overall utility.
Hawkeye
A flexible hero known for his ranged attack style and agile feel.
Red Skull
The main villain who commands the enemy forces throughout the game.
In co-op play, spread out so the team does not get trapped on one side of the screen. Prioritize gun-wielding or projectile enemies to reduce chip damage. Save special attacks for emergencies or heavy boss pressure, since overusing them drains health. Against bosses, watch their startup animations and dodge with jumps or horizontal movement before punishing their recovery. In shooting sections, survival matters more than aggression, so move carefully through safer lanes.
