Taking its cue from the cartoon show, Max Steel: Covert Missions sees the nano-technology enhanced protagonist embark on a quest to rescue his boss from the terrorist group D.R.E.A.D, and eliminate the threat their new biological weapon poses to the world. In this third-person adventure title, players will need to make use of Max's various abilities as they make their way through eight levels spanning locales such as the junkyard, dockside, and N-Tek headquarters. When in stealth mode, Max can slip by unsuspecting enemies unnoticed, or by "Going Turbo" he can increase his strength and speed for limited periods of time.
