About this app
The game tells a completely original story of Spider-Man that is not connected to previous movies or comics. It covers both aspects of the character, both Peter Parker and Spider-Man, in addition to presenting it in a more experienced facet. During the story Spider-Man must face a variety of famous enemies such as Mr. Negative, Electro, Vulture, Rhino and Scorpion. Another famous comic book character that appears in the game is Miles Morales, a young man who carries the Spiderman costume in one of the universes where Peter Parker dies. However, Insomniac confirmed that Morales would not face the superhero and that the story of the game would focus entirely on Peter Parker. The player controls mainly Spider-Man in superhero paper, although in certain moments to be able to play with Peter as a civilian and with Mary Jane in situations of infiltration. The game features a varied combat system that lets Spider-Man perform combinations of scams , both on the ground and in the air , to use elements of the environment and make definitive moves to defeat enemies. In addition it has its arachnid sense, a skill that warns of near dangers, allowing the possibility of reacting, dodging and defending itself. It has a series of gadgets like a drone that launches electric spider webs and serves as distractions, bombs that explode and send cobwebs to nearby enemies leaving them incapacitated for a few moments, or mines that pin them against walls or floors.
