Powered by Digital Extremes' Evolution Engine, the title has players assuming the role of Hayden, a former special ops agent infected by a virus that grants him superpowers. Just like Mega Man, Hayden must defeat bosses in order to acquire their specific powers, such as the ability to create a bullet-deflecting bubble shield.

Dark Sector also sports a multiplayer mode, featuring two different gameplay types, with Digital Extremes hoping to eventually flesh out the title's multiplayer component via downloadable content.
