How it plays
How does The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning play?
The game uses a side-scrolling view. Spyro travels through linear stages, jumps across platforms, defeats hostile creatures, and searches each area for paths forward and useful items.
Combat combines close-range attacks with elemental breath powers. Players advance by completing stages and encounters, while new abilities and upgrades broaden Spyro's options against tougher enemies and environmental challenges.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning?
Learn the timing of Spyro's jump and attack before relying on elemental breath. Many encounters are easier when enemies are separated and defeated one at a time.
Explore the edges of each stage for upgrades and alternate routes. Save stronger elemental attacks for durable enemies or situations where ordinary melee attacks leave Spyro exposed.
