Most stages use an overhead perspective where players move through enemy bases while firing guns and throwing explosives at soldiers, vehicles, and emplacements. Some sections shift to side-scrolling action, changing movement and attack timing. Players collect weapon power-ups and must manage positioning carefully to avoid crossfire. Progression is linear, ending each area with a boss encounter that tests pattern recognition and efficient use of firepower.
