The game uses a side-view, stage-based structure in which one player advances through missions while shooting, jumping, crouching, and throwing grenades. Weapons are collected and swapped during play, and some stages add vehicle segments, rescue objectives, or environmental hazards. Progress is mission-driven, with performance at the end of each stage reflecting survival and completion results.
