Vexx embarks on a perilous quest to free his townsfolk. And obtain justice for his grandfather's vicious murder in this original 3D platform game from Acclaim. Vexx, a short, bat-like creature with spiked hair, pointed ears. And a furrow brow, draws power from a pair of battle gauntlets forge with razor-sharp blades. However, the gauntlets allow him to swim at high speeds, climb walls, glide for a short time, and pound the ground to rattle enemies. As Vexx navigates the game's environments, ranging from underwater cities and dark caves to active volcanoes and desert temples. Also he will attack enemy creatures using timing-base combo attacks similar to those found in traditional fighting games.

However, the moves Vexx can perform depend on his location in relation to his rival. While on the ground, the hero can slash at his enemies with both claws, perform a powerful uppercut, and make running long jumps. But in the air, Vexx can slam his gauntlets into the earth or perform flare kicks to send an enemy flying. But by mixing different moves together, players can juggle opponents for multiple hits. And successful combos result in enemies leaving behind health pick-ups need to keep Vexx at optimal fighting power. Also time of day factors in the hand-to-hand fighting. As day turns into night, enemies become more aggressive and more resilient to attacks. But players can alter time to their benefit by finding sundials. Also hidden in each world are various mini-games.
