The game uses a side-scrolling run-and-gun structure with single-player progression through mission-based stages. Players move left and right, crouch, jump, and fire in multiple directions while collecting weapons and power-ups. Levels mix standard combat with heavier set-piece encounters such as alien nests and large boss battles. Progress is stage-based, with checkpoints or respawn points depending on the section.

Xenomorph

The main alien enemy species, appearing as the primary threat and boss encounters.

Keep moving to avoid being surrounded, and clear close-range enemies first so you do not get trapped. Save stronger weapons for dense waves and boss phases. In narrow corridors, crouch-fire and retreat in small steps to maintain space. Learn enemy spawn points so you can position yourself before ambushes begin.
