Gameplay centers on fast-paced and stylish combat, where players collect valuable breakable items, Souls, Technique points, comic covers, Time, and Ranks. Spawn’s primary weapon is the Agony Axe, a formidable blade formed from his cape, capable of cutting through any demon. He is also equipped with his signature chains, which deliver precise and rapid attacks. Additionally, Spawn can acquire firearms to combat stronger demons. He wields various hellish powers, notably the necroplasm, a mystical substance central to his abilities. The game includes upgrade mechanics, requiring Spawn to gather demon souls to purchase ammunition, enhance weapons, and increase maximum health or necroplasm capacity.[2]
Spawn stands on a decrepit rooftop in New York City. He receives flashbacks of his former life, and his betrayal by Jason Wynn. A green flash of light tears through the city, signaling the demon's war against the angels in battle known as Armageddon. Knocked off the rooftops, Spawn takes to the street to answer the call and get revenge.
Various characters from the Spawn comic book are featured in the game.
