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.
