The little dragon Spyro and his companion, the Sparx the dragonfly, are unexpectedly transferred to the fantastic world of Avalar. It turns out that they were brought there by the goddess Faun and her friends, who need help in the fight against the evil magician Ripto. The wicked sorcerer can only be defeated by a dragon. Spyro agrees to face him. During his adventure he has to find talismans that will allow him to deal with his enemies.

The main protagonist has several health points and can deal with opponents by breathing fire or charging at them. Compared to the previous installment, the creators added additional skills that Spyro gains during his adventure, such as swimming or climbing. They enable us to reach previously inaccessible areas and are essential to complete the game in one hundred percent. During the adventure, the players will come to explore the lands associated with the different seasons of the year. Numerous mini-games, such as track races, shooting range and hockey games, add variety to the fun.
