In addition to their special abilities, you can also equip and power up your characters with items discovered throughout Hawkins. However, as you progress in the game, you will be able to unlock Eleven, Dustin, Will, Hopper, Joyce, Jonathan, Nance, and Billy. At the beginning of the game, players can only control Mike and Lucas and swap between them to overcome obstacles. Each of these characters has their own combat style and special abilities that you can use to taunt, disable, or completely obliterate your enemy. There are 12 playable characters in the game that you can unlock. However, there will also be times where you engage in a boss fight against evils from the Upside Down. These quests involve solving short puzzles and hunting collectibles. Developed in an action role-playing game style, Stranger Things 3: The Game will take you through the story by giving you quests that will allow you to tour the major landmarks of Hawkins.
