Players can pick from seven playable characters and customize their appearance, weapons, and abilities to form a unique champion. The playable characters are based off iconic Marvel superheroes and include Super Soldier, Web Warrior, Storm, Sorcerer Supreme, Iron Legionnaire, Hulk, and Black Panther. Build up a team to tackle battles with specific playstyles.

Each of the eight factions serve as battle arenas. They also come with a Baron that serves as that region's leader. These include Patriot Garrison (President Peggy Carter), House of Iron (Stark Prime), Kingdom of Wakanda (Queen Shuri), Spider-Guild (Madame Web), Asgardian Republic (War Thor), Pyramid X (Apocalypse), Gamma Horder (Skaar), Temple of Vishanti (The Ancient One).

Four games modes are available at launch. Arena Conquest pits two teams of three against each other as they try to defeat each other's Baron. Deathmatch has three teams of two earning points for defeating other players as they unlock power-ups to upgrade your abilities. Stronghold tasks you with fighting off hordes of enemies as you protect your ISO Core in the center of the map. Similarly, Onslaught pits you against 15 waves of increasingly difficult enemies.

Logging in daily will grant rewards and players can currently start setting up and join player-run alliances. Post launch content for 2021 includes additional gear sets, weapons, and even new champions.
