Battle enemies and bosses across side-scrolling stages, switching between characters to suit the hazards ahead. Their distinct skills can also help uncover alternate routes through levels.
The story unfolds across multiple episodes, with stages revisited under different conditions and with different characters. Difficulty options and two-player local co-op offer other ways to tackle the action.
